Planning a dog-friendly trip to Cheddar and looking for inspiration for things to do with your furriest family member? How about starting with a stay in a large, comfortable, open-plan and dog friendly luxury holiday home; Reservoir View is the perfect spot to start a dog-friendly stay, with easy access to National Trust land, lots of easy walks around the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and of course Cheddar Gorge itself.
The house has plenty of space and areas for your dog to run about or relax in the sunshine whilst you take in the stunning views with a glass of something special or just enjoy your morning coffee with your best furry friend sitting at your feet.
When it’s time to get out and stretch all four legs, then head down the hill to Cheddar Gorge and find yourself immersed in the natural beauty of the area. You can find details of the walks locally on the National Trust and Mendip Hills National Landscape websites.
A walk around Cheddar Reservoir means your pet can stay a little cleaner too if the weather isn’t quite playing ball!
