    “Loved being in a very private location but in open countryside. If we needed anything, more wood for example we only had to ask for it. Nice and roomy for a couple. Adequate kitchen, very nice bathroom.”

Enjoy the lovely setting of this romantic spot in nature. Our self contained shepherds hut is sat over looking our beautiful cider orchard in the heart of Dorset complete with its own outdoor fire pit/bbq and private hot tub. We have a range of produce including meat and eggs from our livestock reared at the orchard to offer guests to enjoy. There are great pubs, breweries and restaurants in the locality plus cycle routes and walks with stunning views of the countryside.
One of us is usually onsite for the duration of your stay or contactable via phone if you have any queries from 8am-9pm and in case of emergency 24/7.
The medieval village of Cattistock is a 15minute walk from The Orchard and offers a local shop with post office open until midday, a tearoom and traditional country pub. Nearest train station is in Maiden Newton 3 miles away but we have no bus service. Walks and cycle routes are numerous and some are covered in our welcome pack. The Jurrassic coast is only 30mins drive.
