Most Exmoor beaches allow dogs year-round, including Dunster Beach, Bossington Beach, and Porlock Weir. Unlike busy resort beaches, Exmoor&#8217;s beaches rarely have seasonal dog bans. Always check local signs, but you&#8217;ll find Exmoor very dog-friendly compared to other coastal areas.<\/p>\n<h3>Can dogs go off-lead on Exmoor?<\/h3>\n<p>Dogs can go off-lead in many areas of Exmoor, particularly on open moorland like Dunkery Beacon and in woodland areas like Horner Woods. However, you must keep your dog on a lead around livestock (sheep, cattle, ponies) and during ground-nesting bird season (March-July) on some moorland areas. The key rule: if you can see livestock, put your dog on a lead.<\/p>\n<h3>Are there ticks on Exmoor?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, ticks are common on Exmoor, especially in bracken, heather, and long grass from spring to autumn. Always check your dog thoroughly after walks, paying attention to ears, armpits, and between toes. Consider using a tick prevention treatment before your visit and carry a tick removal tool. If you find a tick, remove it promptly with a tick hook\u2014don&#8217;t squeeze or burn it.<\/p>\n<h3>How many dogs can I bring to Exmoor holiday cottages?<\/h3>\n<p>Most dog-friendly cottages on Exmoor accept 1-2 dogs, though some properties welcome up to 5 dogs. Each cottage has its own pet policy, so check the property details when booking. Many cottages have enclosed gardens\u2014perfect for dogs\u2014and some charge a small pet fee (typically \u00a320-30 per dog per stay).<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s the best time of year for dog walking on Exmoor?<\/h3>\n<p>Exmoor is fantastic for dog walking year-round, but each season has its considerations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Spring (March-May):<\/strong> Wildflowers, lambing season (keep dogs on leads near sheep)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Summer (June-August):<\/strong> Long days, but can be hot\u2014walk early morning or evening<\/li>\n<li><strong>Autumn (September-November):<\/strong> Beautiful colours, red deer rutting (keep dogs on leads in October)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Winter (December-February):<\/strong> Quieter paths, but shorter days and muddy conditions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Autumn is often considered the best time\u2014cooler temperatures, stunning foliage, and fewer crowds.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><!-- BOTTOM CTA --><\/p>\n<div style=\"background: linear-gradient(135deg, #2d5a27 0%, #4a7c43 100%); padding: 30px; border-radius: 12px; margin-top: 40px; text-align: center;\">\n<h3 style=\"color: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 15px; font-size: 24px;\">Ready to Explore Exmoor With Your Dog?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color: #e8f5e9; margin-bottom: 20px; font-size: 16px;\">Book a dog-friendly cottage and discover why Exmoor is the perfect destination for you and your four-legged friend.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" style=\"display: inline-block; background: #ffffff; color: #2d5a27; padding: 14px 32px; border-radius: 8px; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; font-size: 16px; margin-right: 10px;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thebestofexmoor.co.uk\/cottages-accepting-dogs\">Browse Cottages<\/a><br \/>\n<a style=\"display: inline-block; background: transparent; color: #ffffff; padding: 14px 32px; border-radius: 8px; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; font-size: 16px; border: 2px solid #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thebestofexmoor.co.uk\/luxury-dog-friendly-cottages\">Luxury Dog-Friendly<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"boe-article-footer\" style=\"display:block !important; background:#1c1917; color:white; padding:60px 24px 30px; margin-top:60px;\">\n<div style=\"max-width:1280px; margin:0 auto; display:grid; grid-template-columns:1.5fr 1fr 1fr 1fr; gap:48px;\">\n<div>\n<h2 style=\"font-family:Cormorant Garamond,serif; font-size:30px; font-weight:700; margin-bottom:16px; color:white;\">THE BEST OF EXMOOR<\/h2>\n<p style=\"color:#a8a29e; font-size:15px; line-height:1.8; margin-bottom:24px;\">We\u2019re a tiny, passionate team of locals who know and love Exmoor.
