Escape to this beautifully positioned shepherd’s hut, perfect for couples seeking a peaceful countryside hideaway. Perched on an elevated hilltop and offering uninterrupted views of rolling pastures and, on clear days, even glimpses of the sea, it's a dream retreat for walkers and nature lovers alike. Return from long walks to soothe aching muscles in the warming hot tub.

Step inside this thoughtfully designed hut and discover a cosy retreat where traditional charm meets modern convenience. The studio layout maximises space, offering a snug double bed, a dining area, and a compact yet fully equipped kitchen. A wood burner ensures a warm and inviting atmosphere, no matter the season, while a contemporary en-suite shower room adds to the comfort. The unique combination of rustic interiors and those special touches create an appealing home-away-from-home feel, ideal for relaxing after a day of exploration. Outside, you’ll find a generous raised deck complete with furniture, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee as you soak up the surrounding views. Take advantage of the private hot tub, nestled in a secluded spot alongside the hut, for a relaxing soak under the stars.

Beyond the retreat, the area offers plenty to explore. Venture to Bridport with its bustling markets 5 miles away, or experience the coastal charm of West Bay 8 miles away. Soak in the sights of the charming streets of Lyme Regis and the sandy shores of Charmouth Beach, famous for fossil hunting, both within 7.5 miles from the hut.

The shepherd hut is 100 metres from the farmhouse B&B in its own hedged space. Just the other side of the hedge, about 10 metres from the hut, there's an 'honesty' farm shop selling high quality meats. Farm shop customers can see the shepherd hut's outdoor seating area through the hedge gateway. When we arrived we were asked to move our car so vehiRead morecles could turn around in the little car park. The hut is approached by a mile or so of single track roads and has glorious views over rolling countryside. Hide
