    More cutlery needed and maybe a little welcome pack ie butter pouches, ketchup pouches etc

    Really cute, with a modern feel. The bed was just as lovely and comfy as ours. It’s One thing I worry about having a bad back what’s the bed like? Lovely walks around and the lights inside the hut made it relaxing.

    There could’ve been slightly more cutlery and crockery. Perhaps a little pantry with some staples would be nice. And would’ve loved some more tea ;) The rubbish/bin situation was slightly confusing.

    It was very cute, cozy and quiet. Despite it very small size it had absolutely everything we needed.

    Maybe a few lights on the path and slightly larger parking sign?

    Peter had great communication before my visit. I arrived later than check in but they were more than accommodating. Peter went the extra mile and even helped me with reversing my car as I had got stuck! The hut was too cute and although I was only there from 11pm until 10am the facilities were great - managed a brew and a nice hot shower. I watched Netflix with a face mask on before cosying into the really comfy bed. Will deffo visit again xXx

    There was absolutely nothing to not like...perfect.,

    It is a lovely little shepherds hut in a great location...with lovely views and plenty of walks. The bed was so comfy....I wanted to take it home. Milk tea, coffee left for me to make a cuppa when I got there. I met Kirsty on arrival and she was very welcoming...when I had a tiny issue with the heating both Kirsty and Peter were quick to respond and resolved the matter. Shower was great, Hut was clean, all essentials were there.

    Excellent stay in this beautiful little shepherds hut, perfectly located for our stay in Dorset visiting family and exploring the local area. The hut is private facing out onto a large field with spectacular views of the countryside. We'd love to return for the summer as a fire pit, deck chairs and table chairs are all available for use. Though we stayed in the colder season, the hut was warm with electric heating and an additional oil heater available if needed. The hut has a private bathroom, kitchenette with 2 hobs, microwave, fridge, kettle, toaster & sink. The bed is extremely comfy with a good quality mattress and pillows. The TV has freeview and smart apps allowing you to sign in to Netflix, etc for the evenings in and WiFi is available. We didn't get a chance to meet the hosts face to face but Peter was available via text and phone and answered all our questions quickly. We're looking forward to our next stay.

    Perfect for two for a short stay. Furnishings and fittings were lovely and the Hut was equipped with everything needed to prepare breakfast or other light meal. The outside chairs & table and log burner looked very inviting but we unfortunately did not have opportunity to use them on this visit. Perfect location for our visit to friends nearby.
