Short but sweet visit
The Shepherds Hut is so well situated and well appointed; we enjoyed our one night stay very much. We had a lovely relaxing evening and an equally great breakfast on the deck enjoying the fresh air. Darren and Jax have created a perfect little escape.

Idyllic Shepherds Hut
The hosts, Darren and Jacqueline, were both friendly, welcoming with lots of information about our stay. The shepherds hut was so clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The location was perfect and as we were lucky with the weather - we had an amazing stay and certainly would love to come for a visit again.

Had a lovely one night stay, the view from the hut was brilliant and if you’re looking for peace and quiet this is the perfect location. Darren was very friendly and made us feel more than welcome. We went to celebrate our anniversary and left as fiancées and will definitely be back!

(to) short but lovely stay at the shepherds hut. Cute but functional accommodation and surprisingly comfortable bed. Sitting outside in the evening watching deer, horses and the occasional chicken in silence except for the birdsong was special. Perfect spot from which to explore Dorset. We will be back 👍

short stay with toddler
The shepherd's hut was a real experience and really lovely. It was immaculately decorated and cleaned and very comfortable. The kitchen was well kitted out and suitable for cooking some proper meals although we didn't use it. Opening a cot would have been possible but not ideal due to lack of space; the bed was large and comfortable enough for him to sleep with us (although the bed was high so needs attention with small people). There was understandably limited supply of hot water so showers had to be v short.
