I actually have a dog-friendly cottage for Exmoor. I have rented it out many times and the dogs have always been a hit with the dogs. The isolation is a bit of a problem as I said to a friend, but for those who enjoy dogs, that does not matter. The area itself is one of my favorite areas in Britain. There are some great walks you can take your dogs on and it's an area with very little traffic so the dogs can roam freely without any worries. I WOULD PARTIALLY RECOMMEND THE STORE TO PROSPECTIVE BUYERS BECAUSE WHAT I bOUGH ISN’T 100% PERFECT.
