How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: No pet-mention guest reviews logged yet. The paw rating will be computed once enough reviews accumulate; until then, treat the page as informational only.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 44 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.2/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: August 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.

Pet-friendly summary
Blackmore Farm is a wonderfully characterful place to stay with a dog - a working farm built around a Grade I listed 15th-century medieval manor house near Cannington, on the edge of the Quantock Hills in Somerset. While the beamed manor rooms themselves are kept dog-free, the farm has two lovely self-contained boltholes that welcome dogs: the converted Cider Press and a cosy Shepherd's Hut, both giving you your own private space and easy access to the outdoors.
For dog owners, those self-contained units are the appeal. There are no shared corridors or reception to negotiate, and you are staying on a proper working farm with plenty of space around you - a relaxed, rural setting where a dog feels right at home. The Quantock Hills, one of the loveliest and least-crowded walking areas in the West Country, are on the doorstep, with miles of open heath, woodland and bridleways to explore.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome for a modest £10 per dog. Because only the Cider Press and Shepherd's Hut take dogs, it is worth flagging your dog when you book - using the special-requests box or a quick call - to make sure a dog-friendly unit is available and to confirm numbers.
Beyond the dog-friendliness, Blackmore Farm is a genuine one-off, with a farm shop and cafe on site and centuries of history in its walls. It suits dog owners after a characterful, rural Somerset base with private accommodation and superb walking close by.
