Set within an orchard on a working beef farm, this charming shepherd’s hut provides couples with a romantic retreat for two in the heart of the beautiful Dorset countryside. Situated within the Dorset National Landscape, the hut has been thoughtfully designed with comfort in mind and comes equipped with everything you need for a relaxing rural escape. Brass and copper fixtures complement the rustic yet contemporary interior, while an eclectic mix of textiles and furnishings lends a warm, homely feel.
Outside, an enclosed lawn shaded by trees offers an ideal spot for al fresco dining, with views of cattle grazing in the surrounding fields. The decked area includes a fire pit, perfect for keeping cosy while enjoying a glass of wine as the sun goes down.
Despite its rural setting, the shepherd’s hut is only a short distance from the coast and the South West Coast Path. Visit Golden Cap, a National Trust estate with over 2,000 acres of woodland and meadowland, and breathtaking views of the Jurassic Coast. The vibrant market town of Bridport is just over two miles away and offers an excellent selection of independent shops and eateries, along with a lively calendar of events throughout the year.
