Bring your dog if

How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 1 pet-mention guest review sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- 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 4 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.6/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: October 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
Cedarwood Cottage is a whole house in Ashreigney, a small, quiet village in the rolling farmland of mid Devon, and its standout feature for dog owners is one most holiday lets cannot offer: a safe, enclosed field where a dog can be let off the lead to run. A garden is common enough; a secure field is a different thing, and it is the detail most likely to decide a booking for a dog owner.
The property has only a handful of guest reviews so far, and just one comes from a party travelling with a dog, so treat its 4.3/5 paw rating as an early read rather than a settled verdict. That stay was a family with young children, and the picture was a calm one: a peaceful village setting, good dog walking straight from the area, and the enclosed field put to regular use for off-lead time.
As a self-contained house there are no shared corridors, lobby or neighbouring rooms to manage, which takes most of the stress out of arriving with a dog. Guests more widely describe it as clean and comfortable, with the village friendly and the basics close by. The property's booking listing does not set out a pet fee, a dog limit or a size rule, so it is worth confirming those with the owner before you book, particularly with more than one dog.
The one complaint so far has nothing to do with pets: the shower is tight on headroom for taller guests. For a couple or small family with a dog who would make real use of a secure field and want quiet countryside around them, Cedarwood Cottage is an appealing and unusual option.
