The photo's for the Shepard's hut are from a few years ago as the property is tired. When we arrived we were met by 2 free running dogs and chickens which was not ideal for us and our dog. Although the dogs were friendly and were called into the house after a while.The area would benefit from having a fenced in area for your dog so they could not chase the chickens or disappear into the field in front of the hut with the horses.We could not get hold of the hosts as there was no telephone signal at the hut so after walking 20 minutes back to the main road we were able to leave a message for the host as we were unable to close and lock the doors on the hut. Finally found out when Darren (host) called back as he was on holiday in France that you needed to connect to wi-fi before your phone would work . We did not stay a single night in the hut we came home. Would not recommend staying if you had a small dog as they could get through the bushes that surrounded the property and disappear. Would say it is small and a struggle with more than 2 of you.
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.
Beautiful shepherds hut in an idyllic setting, very well equipped, great communication and the most beautiful place to stay to get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the peace and tranquility
Great location. First time in a Shepherds Hut or similar and despite my initial reservations I found the whole experience enjoyable. Well thought out and had everything needed for a short stay. Good and attentive hosts.
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.
In overall adequate conditions bed is situated too high and need 2 persons to pull down no heath and safety in place I actually damaged my soldier doing so. No meeting or greeting at all, Dog poo everywhere no one is care about difficult for eating/drinking outside.
The property was very comfortable and in an idyllic setting. The bed was easy to set up and very comfortable. It is clearly very well looked after! We would definitely come back.
Amazing place to stay, we stayed for the weekend and if youâre looking for peace and quite surrounded by nature. Then this is the place to come. Thanks so much to Darren and jax . We will definitely be back. See you soon.
(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 đ
