Escape to Our Shepherd's Huts in Dorset for a Unique Countryside Retreat

We are ideally located in the picturesque Piddle Valley (very close to Dorchester and Weymouth). Our location offers the best of both worlds: it's a great base for adventurers eager to discover the stunning Jurassic Coast and provides a peaceful retreat in the serene countryside of rural Dorset.
Both huts feature a king-size bed, en-suite shower, Kitchen and wood-burning stove. It won't matter if it's raining or cold. You can hunker down in complete warmth and comfort. If you want to get in touch with nature or do some stargazing, then our outdoor claw-foot bathtub is for you. Relax and listen to the owls in complete privacy, or sit around the fire pit with a glass of wine.
The huts and cottage include everything you need to hunker down and relax. The Kitchens are stocked with cooking essentials and some welcome goodies for when you arrive.

Discover Dorset: Uncover the Wonders of the Jurassic Coast and Beyond
Experience the beauty of Dorset, a coastal gem on the South Coast. Discover the Jurassic Coast's stunning coastal formations, a World Heritage Site. You can embark on fossil-hunting adventures in Lyme Regis or visit the spectacular Portland Bill lighthouse. Dorset's vibrant towns, like Weymouth, offer a blend of colourful history and charming seaside experiences, perfect for leisurely strolls and enjoying local seafood.
Close by to our huts, you can explore the picturesque villages, such as Cerne Abbas. If you're feeling adventurous, you can ramble to the famous Dorset Gap (walkable from the huts!)
TOKENHILL COTTAGE
Our original holiday property is made up of a large section of our detached farmhouse and offers a great holiday location for a family to unwind, relax and enjoy this popular area. Situated on our working farm, it offers three bedrooms, an open plan living room, dining room and kitchen, and an excellent outside area for all to enjoy a barbecue amidst the peace and tranquillity.
Serve breakfast at a table for six or dine alfresco on a patio overlooking the countryside from this charming brick cottage. Later, take a dip in the hot tub before going inside where country-style decor and cosy furnishings will put you at ease.
The huts are a stone's throw away from the beautiful and famous "Dorset Gap". The Dorsetshire Gap, also called the Dorset Gap, is a critical, historic track junction - once the hub of central Dorset in southern England - and a well-known beauty spot and magnet for ramblers. It's an excellent hike/gentle walk through the Piddle Valleys rolling hills. On your way, you can stop by the Lyscome Chapel, a historically listed building that was forgotten for many years.
