Dog friendly holidays in Somerset

🐾 Dog Friendly Holidays in Somerset

A Holiday Your Dog Will Love Just as Much as You

At Old Oaks, we don’t just allow dogs — we genuinely welcome them.

We know your dog is part of the family, and your holiday wouldn’t feel right without them. That’s why we’ve created a park where both you and your four-legged companion can relax, explore and properly switch off together.

With dog-friendly pitches, dedicated facilities, and beautiful countryside all around, this is dog-friendly… done properly.


🐕 Designed for Dogs (and Their Humans)

All of our touring pitches are dog friendly (up to 3 dogs), and our glamping accommodation welcomes dogs too (up to 2), making Old Oaks one of Somerset’s most popular destinations for dog-friendly breaks

But what really sets us apart is how much we’ve invested in making your dog’s stay just as enjoyable as yours.


📊 Dog-Friendly by Design

  • 🐾 100% of touring pitches and glamping are dog friendly
  • 🌿 3 acre dog exercise field for off-lead freedom
  • 🚶 300m secure enclosed dog walk for safe daily runs

🐾 Everything Your Dog Needs (and More)dog friendly holidays at old oaks

🐕‍🦺 Space to Run Free

Your dog can enjoy:
  • A secure 300m enclosed exercise area
  • A large 3-acre field for proper off-lead freedom
  • Safe, social spaces to meet other dogs

It’s the kind of space dogs don’t get at home — and you’ll notice the difference straight away.


💦 Splash, Wash & Repeat

We’ve gone a step further than most dog-friendly parks:

  • 🐶 Dog swimming pond with easy-access “beach-style” entry
  • 🚿 Hot water dog shower with free shampoo
  • 🧺 Dedicated washing machine & dryer for dog bedding

So muddy paws and wet fur? Not a problem.


🦴 Little Extras That Make a Big Difference

Because it’s often the small things that matter:

  • 🍦 Doggy ice cream and home-baked treats
  • 🛍 On-site shop with food, toys, and essentials
  • 🐕 “Dog stops” around the park
  • 📍 Free local guide to dog-friendly walks, pubs & days out

🌿 A Beautiful Place to Explore Together

Step outside the park and you’re straight into:

  • Scenic countryside walks
  • Footpaths leading towards Glastonbury
  • Open landscapes perfect for exploring together

This isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a place to roam.


💬 What Dog Owners Say

“This is the first place we’ve stayed where our dog was truly welcomed, not just tolerated. The space, the facilities, the attention to detail — it made the whole holiday better for all of us.”


🐾 A Thoughtful Approach (for Everyone)

We work hard to strike the perfect balance:

  • A welcoming environment for dog owners
  • A peaceful, relaxing space for all guests

That means clear expectations around behaviour, so everyone enjoys the same calm, high-quality experience

To ensure a pleasant stay for all guests at Old Oaks, please read our  DOG POLICY FOR 2026.


🐶 More Than Dog Friendly — It’s Dog Focused

Many places say they’re dog friendly.

At Old Oaks, we’ve built an environment where dogs are genuinely part of the experience — with space, facilities, and thoughtful touches you simply won’t find everywhere.
