How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 5 pet-mention guest reviews 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 89 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.8/10 - 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
Purdie Close is a spacious, homely holiday house in Cheddar that suits families and groups travelling with dogs, and it earns a 4.6/5 paw rating from guests who brought theirs along. It sleeps a larger party comfortably, with three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, and dog owners repeatedly describe it as welcoming to pets as well as people.
Guests travelling with dogs say they settled in quickly, and the house is set up for a relaxed stay, with comfortable beds, games for rainy evenings and a small welcome treat on arrival. The owners are praised for warm, clear communication from booking through to check-out, along with plenty of tips about the local area.
The location is a real strength. The house is on a quiet residential street, yet a dog-friendly pub is just a few doors along, with a second pub, places to eat and the shops of Cheddar a short walk away. The entrance to Cheddar Gorge can be reached on foot, which gives you a dramatic walk without needing the car.
There are a few points to weigh up. The back garden is small and only partly grassed, so it works for quick comfort breaks rather than for letting dogs run, and groups with two or more dogs have wished it were bigger. The outside space is also looking a little tired. There is no dishwasher, some guests found the mattresses a little uncomfortable, and a couple of the interior doors are noisy.
For families, friends and dog owners who want a comfortable, well-run base for exploring Cheddar Gorge and the Mendips, Purdie Close is a strong choice.
