Shepherds hut vacation rentals in North Dorset District

An absolutely dreamy escape for two! complete with scenic views, and enough special touches to feel at home. Fiona made everything so comfortable and we look forward to coming back!

Sam's place was a joy to stay at! It's an annexe of an old house on the high street with a lovely bedroom overlooking a courtyard and a spacious living room and kitchen area which overlook the garden. The garden is full of fruit trees and wonderful plants and is very well tended. A bathroom and a second toilet made getting out in the morning easy as well. Castle Cary is a wonderful town (recommend the Somerset Wine Company and the Gallery which Sam and his wife run!) We did use the jacuzzi (for an additional fee) and sitting in there listening to the live jazz from the bar and looking at the stars was a dream. We made a new friend in Bobby (the dog) who just wanted to play fetch Loved our night there and would happily return!

Cosy little Shepherds hut, perfect for a night away. Will most definitely be returning. Many thanks

What a beautiful little place! Fiona is a lovely host and the place is beautiful with everything you need. Much needed reset for my husband and I. Thank you! 😊

Amazing stay at Mark’s shepherds hut. Incredible location, super peaceful and as described. Well kitted out. We had a lovely BBQ and enjoyed some marshmallows say around the fire. The abbey nearby was worth a visit and had a swim in the river. Would definitely visit again. Thanks Mark.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Amanda's Shepherd's Hut. It is small for 3 people but it's so cosy and very comfortable with everything we needed. The location is perfect, really beautiful with lots to do and in the heart of the New Forest. Amanda was a wonderful host, we really enjoyed her company and we learnt a lot about forest life. We loved her place and all her animals and would definately recommended it and I'm sure we will be going back there! Also the breakfast was so delicious! Thank you so much Amanda, you are a very lovely and inspiring woman. xxx

The 2 ladies that greeted us upon check in were friendly and helpful. the campsite is clean, peaceful, tranquil. plenty of toilet/shower blocks which were clean, modern and accessible whenever my family needed. all guests very friendly. as for the shepherds hut, it was warmer then expected with plenty of room and storage under the main double bed. mattress very comfortable and 2 single beds which could fit up to 5ft 2 child on comfortably. if your on a budget i would recommend arranging food (there is 2 electric hob perfect for pasta) as a family of 4 we walked to nearest pub restaurant st peters finger, was nice but pricey and limited menu. highly reccommended for short stay (1/2 nights) with local links for things to do

A delightful and charming place to stop and relax. Everything was superb - the hut, its private garden, the thoughtful book selection, the bed linen which smelt of fresh air, the warm croissants and home made jams. Daisy the retriever, was the icing on the cake. Sarah and Frank are warm, available as needed but respectful of privacy.

we absolutely loved it as soon as we saw the shepards hut inside and out. right next to chesil beach, good restaurant/bar 2 mins walk away. we booked again 🙂

Beautiful site and location. Peaceful and private. The hut is beautiful with lovely meadow and seating area outside which has been so well thought out. Perfect well equipped kitchen, comfy bed and lovely shower room. Would definitely come back!

It was a pleasure stopping at Sharon and Jon’s Shepherd Hut. It was part of their lovely house in an idyllic secluded area of Dorset, with easy access to the coast. Would highly recommend for those looking to get away.

We had a lovely stay in the shepard’s hut and everything was as described. Gail and john were both very helpful and friendly. Would definitely come stay again!!

The shepherds hut was beautiful and cosy and Vanessa and Stuart were very welcoming. We especially enjoyed seeing the lambs and the picturesque lake. We had the best time and wish we’d stayed for longer!

a fantastic peaceful shepherd's hut very well looked after in a peaceful corner of the garden. really really lovely we definitely return

We had a really wonderful stay at The Burrow. The hut is beautiful, very well thought out with everything you need, all with its own place. The hut is in a peaceful location, with a calming view and felt very private. The weather was bad for most of our stay, but we felt very cosy in the hut, reading and painting, and enjoyed exploring the local villages. Rob and Jess were excellent hosts, very responsive over messages and arranged everything for us, including the delicious local produce boxes (would highly recommend!) despite our last minute booking. They’d thought through every detail, including providing towels to dry the buggy. We really appreciated their recommendations in the local area, which made our break even more relaxing as we didn’t have to put much thought into where we went. We enjoyed the Silver Plough, Pumphouse Bakes, Salt and Kimbridge Barn. Thank you very much for a very peaceful and relaxing stay.

Wonderful, private, bespoke and at one with nature. This place is like camping in luxury and for the adventurous type who enjoy comfort but also nature. Clean and tidy and unique. The wood fired hot tub is such a unique treat for those who like to build fires and get something from their efforts. Love the place

Mike's place was an absolute dream for our pre-baby, relaxing getaway with our Whippet! It completely exceeded our expectations. The location is perfect, right on the SW coast path yet feeling wonderfully secluded, while still being just a quick 5-minute drive to Lyme Regis. Although the listing mentioned the garden wasn't fully secure, we found it to be very secure for our Whippet which was an added bonus. There are also several gates to pass through on the way from the parking area, adding to the security. Our dog lovedddd running about with a frisbee and then sunbathing ha! We honestly loved the property so much (especially the pool!) that we barely left, only venturing out for morning coffee and breakfast. Mike's recommendations were spot on – Poco Pizza was fantastic for takeaway, and communication was excellent throughout. We'll be hard-pressed to find another Airbnb that compares and look forward to coming back with our baby. Thank you!

Had a lovely three night stay in Acorn hut. Spacious and very private outdoor space with a hot tub for relaxing. Bathroom facilities were clean and shower was great. The hut itself was cosy with everything you need for a few nights away. Big enough for my partner and I as well as our large greyhound. The host was lovely and helpful with advice about places to go and the surrounding area. Would definitely recommend a stay here for anyone looking for a peaceful spot.

A wonderful stay at the Collie for 2 nights. A wonderful well equipped Sheppard's Hut and the extra special touches that Chloe provided from the arrival hamper to the hot tub being preheating for arrival. The views across the Somerset levels are beautiful and the night time sky was perfect for relaxing around the fire/bbq and in the hot tub. Thr local area of Glastonbury and cider farms add to this lovely weekend.

Fabulous place that is beyond what you would expect from a Shepherd’s Hut. Great thought and attention to detail has clearly gone into building and designing this place. It’s deceptively spacious and has got everything you need and more, the hot tub and outside seating are real bonuses, all in all a fabulous spot.

My partner and I had an amazing stay at this Airbnb. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at home. The place was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and had all the little touches that made it feel special — from the cozy bedding to the well-stocked kitchen. This was such a lovely trip for us as a couple, and we’re already talking about coming back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a romantic, restful escape!

A lovely hut in the New Forest, beside the local pub (which we didn’t actually try). A peaceful location! Really well appointed, luxurious hut, with v comfy bed and a lovely bathroom! What more could you want!

We had a lovely two night stay at The Salt Hut which is in an ideal location for exploring the area. It had all the facilities we needed and the property was described accuratey. The owners were very welcoming and communication with them was very easy.

The shepherd’s hut was cozy, beautifully crafted, and nestled in a peaceful wooded setting—perfect for unplugging and unwinding. The hot tub under the trees was a highlight, especially in the evening with the sounds of nature all around. Thoughtful touches and a warm welcome made our stay even more special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a serene retreat."
