Most of our Exmoor cottages welcome well-behaved dogs. Many feature secure gardens, enclosed paddocks, and are located near dog-friendly beaches and moorland walks. We provide local recommendations for the best dog walks and dog-welcoming pubs.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1758800235957\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How far are Exmoor cottages from the beach?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Exmoor cottages vary in distance to beaches. Our coastal properties in Lynmouth and Porlock are right by the sea, whilst moorland cottages are typically 15-30 minutes from dog-friendly beaches like Blue Anchor, Woolacombe and Dunster Beach<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1758800256552\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Do Exmoor cottages have Wi-Fi and modern amenities?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, most of our cottages include Wi-Fi, smart TVs, and modern kitchen appliances.

Spring offers bluebells and newborn ponies, whilst summer provides the warmest weather for beach days and outdoor activities.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1758800330200\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I see Exmoor ponies near the cottages?<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Absolutely! Wild Exmoor ponies roam freely across the moorland and often graze near our cottages, especially those in Exford, Winsford, and Simonsbath areas.
