Shepherds hut holiday rentals in Purbeck 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

We had an amazing one-night stay at this Shepherd Hut with our puppy. Everything exceeded our expectations. The place is exactly as described and matches the photos perfectly. It was extremely clean, and the washroom facilities were spotless with hot water available even at midnight. Arriving late was no issue, which was very convenient for us. In the morning, we enjoyed delicious homemade bacon and egg baps along with fresh coffee. The site itself is beautiful, featuring a dedicated dog field at the end, which was perfect for our pup. The location is also great, being just a short distance from the seaside. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and will definitely be coming back!

Lovely hut inside and out, set within lovely gardens. Plenty of places to relax outside, especially the hot tub. We drove to the Bell at Broadway, lovely pub for food with plenty of options and majority can be gf too, including the home made pizza with a large selection of toppings.

Great place to stay, camping grounds are really tidy and inviting. The accommodation was super ! Clean and spacious and had everything we needed. Bit steep on the price, but for one night it did the job.

Well, what can I say? Everything about our stay was simply perfect. A ‘girly time’ spent chilling in a beautifully refurbed Shepherds Hut, with everything provided for a very cosy night. Amanda was such a hospitable host. She made us feel so very welcome with her two dogs, ducks and pigs (we a need to go back and meet the horses and donkey) Amanda lit the fire pit for us after a rainy afternoon, and made the most delicious breakfast and coffee the next day. Joining us after breakfast we enjoyed hearing a myriad of her life stories - and nearly five hours later we departed with lots of happy memories. A little bit of heaven in the Hampshire country side. Thank you, thank you. thank you xx

Lovely place to stay, really close to Poole and Bournemouth so easy to get around. The site was great, nice and peaceful!

I had the perfect peaceful stay in this beautiful shepherds hut. Michele was a great host and the welcome treats and home baked bread were delicious and much appreciated. This was just the space and peace that I needed to get a little work done but also completely chill and wind down.

Stayed 3 nights at Jo's hut with our dog during the recent heatwave and we had a fab time. So quiet and peaceful. The hut was so comfortable and cool at night. There was everything there we could possibly need from dog toys and treats, to amazing toiletries and soft towels. A very efficient fridge with milk water and even fresh eggs available to buy for a minimal charge. Thanks Jo we had a lovely relaxing time and will definately come back!!

My daughter and I had a lovely few days staying in the lavender shepherd hut, beautiful location- everything was perfect, such thoughtful extras left for us for our arrival made it all feel very special. Thank you!

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.

This was a beautiful hidden gem in the heart of the most beautiful grounds! We loved the shepherds hut so much. The entrance is magical down a long pebble driveway past the owners home that looks like something from house and home magazine. Probably one of the most beautiful gardens I’ve seen. Shirley made sure the hut was ready for when we arrived which happened to be earlier than expected. We were met with a lovely warm and informative welcome, Shirley showed us the grounds and the hut which were both stunning. The hut has everything you need, top quality products and linens. Shirley gave us so many recommendations for the local area and places to visit. We will certainly be staying again!

We had a great stay at Maurietty. Jo’s instructions to find it were really clear and we had no issues at all. The cabin is spotless with everything you need for a short break. Maurietty really is in the middle of the New Forest , surrounded by lots of walks and lovely places or eat and drink. I would recommend staying with Jo to all my friends and family , and will be booking Maurietty again when we come back to visit the New Forest. Thank you Jo !

Fabulous hospitality and a beautiful setting! The views are stunning and the location is perfect for hopping in the car to enjoy local beaches and towns. Rosa and Mark were extremely welcoming, friendly and accommodating. Our sausage dog also loved it here so we will definitely be back!

Wow! What an amazing stay me and my boyfriend had. The location of the hut was absolutely stunning- the private lake and the sheep grazing right outside the window was lovely. We made use of the pool on site which was a great touch. The inside of the hut was so well equipped with a pull out kitchen table, storage under the bed for luggage and a really good sized shower- not to add how comfy the bed was! We met Doug the sheep dog who very kindly accompanied us to and from our hut. My boyfriend particularly liked playing fetch across the fields with him! We would 100% recommend this stay and we hope to return😊

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.

Lovely shepherds hut in a very secluded and peaceful location. Clean and very cosy. Enjoyed sitting on the deck and using the hot tub watching the swallows dart around. If you want to recharge your batteries this is perfect. Close to Bridport and Lyme Regis.

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!

Great little hut on the edge of the heathland, that perfectly suited a chilled night with our youngest son, he absolutely loved the hut, collecting wood for the fire and the rope swing . Perfect nights sleep had by all.

Wow!! We had the best weekend 😀 It couldn't have been better. Jayne was so fantastic, we met her lovely husband and dog too. We found the place easily, checked in and shown around, and left to enjoy the super private, relaxing, comfortable hut in gorgeous surroundings... fields in all directions 😍 We were welcomed with birthday balloons and fizz on ice!! The hot tub was at the perfect temperature and was easy to heat the next day. We had an Indian take away delivered and didn't leave the place! So relaxing xx

Absolutely fabulous stay! The location was stunning—peaceful and surrounded by nature. The shepherd’s hut had everything you could possibly need, thoughtfully equipped and super cosy. The highlight? Beautiful horses grazing right at the bottom of the garden—just magical. I only wish I could have stayed longer. Will definitely be back!

My partner booked this for my birthday and it was lovely, we literally had a pub on the doorstep, which we spent our evenings in, the staff were friendly, atmosphere was great and the food was lovely. Lots of things to do and sites to visit, as we did on the two days we were there and the communication with Louise was excellent. It's our first time staying in a shepherds hut and both my partner and I weren't disappointed, it was beautiful with a lot of privacy.
