Shepherds hut vacation rentals in Dorset

The cottage is very cozy and clean. Lots of greenery and beautiful nature all around. Perfect for a retreat in peace and quiet. Very clean toilets and showers. We recommend it to anyone who needs rest.

I had a wonderful stay. There has been some storm damage to the hut I was due to stay in so Linda called me and let me know she had plenty of other options and put me in a wonderful alternative hut. The hut was spotless, warm (with enough wood to keep me warm all weekend) and cosy. Linda was very friendly and responsive. Moonfleet is a beautiful place to spend some time away from normal life and feel in the country side. I can’t wait to go back!

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

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!

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! 😊

We had a lovely couple of nights in the Everdene shepherd's hut. It was so peaceful, with stunning views. The hut itself was spotless, and spacious enough for the three of us ( 2 adults, one child ). The shepherd's huts are set aside in a separate area to the main camping pitches. It has a log burner and fire pit, with plenty of logs available. The shared bathrooms were very clean, modern, and spacious. We didn't have any real queries, but Linda was responsive to messages, and we met her in person after we'd arrived, when she seemed to be walking around the site, checking her guests were ok. Moonfleet Farm is a great location for exploring Dorset. The Fox pub is a 10 minute walk away, across a couple of fields. We plan to return in the October Half-term!

Highly recommended, great location within reach of a lot of attractions, beautiful part of the country, all round good vibes, definitely coming back, loved it.

We had a very relaxing stay, the location is so pretty, the hut is set in a great sized garden, which is not overlooked at all. It is close to a cafe and gorgeous gift shop, and a short walk to the village shops and pub. We had a fire pit both nights and just relaxed. Andrea was great and recommended the Somerset Cider Bus which was a 10 minute drive away, and that was a lot of fun, that's on every Saturday until Autumn. Andrea was friendly, helpful and a great host. We even bought some of their stone carvings. The hut itself is awesome, with a great eye for detail, it is a beautiful place to stay, you won't be disappointed.

We really enjoyed our stay, the views were beautiful, of an afternoon we loved watching the deer. Most of the week was very peaceful and quiet. The cabin was clean and warm. The fires were brilliant. We had a lovely time.

The little hut was a dream! With some well placed trees its very easy to forget anyone else lives on this planet! There is lots of walking to be done from the hut, lots of animals, and natural beauty everywhere. The bath tub is MASSIVE, plenty of room for 2! We experienced all of England's weathers while there and come rain or shine its just a lovely place to be! There is a radiator in the bathroom and heater in the main room making for a very cosy little hut! Evie was an incredible host, allowing us flexi check in and out, and to bring our cat (a fairly unusual request!). We were welcomed with a big smile, and 2 very friendly well behaved dogs. Evie made sure we were comfortable and happy throughout our trip. I'd defo recommend staying here! If you do, ensure you pack well, and come well stocked with food if you like us have no intention of getting in a car while there. Would defo visit again!

We recently stayed at Andreas Shepherd's Hut in Cruxton, and it was a delightful experience. Nestled in a serene rural setting, the hut offers an idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The accommodation was charmingly rustic yet comfortably modern and the interior was well-appointed with thoughtful touches that made it feel cosy and welcoming. The bed was really comfortable and the small kitchenette was equipped with everything needed for a self-catering stay which we made the most of both mornings and evenings. The hut's location was perfect. Surrounded by apple trees and rolling hills, it's ideal for leisurely walks, relaxing outside with the fire pit or enjoying the private space alongside the river. The lack of light pollution in the area allowed us to view the Milky Way when stargazing one evening which was the perfect addition to our stay. Andrea was super accommodating, ensuring that everything was in order and even dropped off a homemade Dorset apple cake!

Had a lovely stay! Nice little retreat with hot tub set up and ready to go which is exactly what we needed on a rainy weekend! Felt very private even though it was a shared garden and helpful host,

The shepherd’s hut was beautifully appointed and very comfortable. The situation was idyllic on the outskirts of a Hardy-esque village with far reaching views and wildlife in abundance including butterflies, deer and barn owl. Pauline was a fantastic host and responded very quickly to any query and had some great ideas of things to do. We’d particularly recommend the circular walk to the knoll. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Had a lovely peaceful stay, and the bed was very comfortable, thank you!

A fantastic place for a stop over to see in the New Year of 2025. Host was super helpful and quick to reply- considering we booked very last minute, everything was organised and ready for us to arrive. Toilets and showers were close by, good lighting and stocked on the essentials and hot water! Fire wood provided for a very cosy stove in the hot and set ready to light. Lovely setting, plenty of space if you have a doggo to enjoy it. Great pub food for dinner, friendly staff and a breakfast provided…what more can you ask for. Would love to visit again.

A lovely place that’s great for being cozy and romantic. Hot tub and a BBQ are a must 😄

Had a wonderful stay. The shepherds hut had everything we needed for a peaceful retreat and yet was near the beach and some great market towns. The outside space was lovely especially the hot tub overlooking the lake. Would definitely recommend.

My girlfriend and I had a lovely stay in the hut. The hut was clean, tidy and exactly what we expected. Jason was a great host with brilliant communication and we were met with a friendly greeting. Jason was on hand with recommendations and we would definitely stay at the hut again!

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.

What a stunning location! We were very impressed! Beautiful surroundings that make those morning coffees on the decking just spot on. Perfect location for a peaceful getaway. So close to all of the main places in Dorset. Great base with all of the amenities you could need. Classic with a touch of modern. Quite possibly the biggest hut we have stayed in. Would definitely recommend and would love to come back! Thanks Paul for being so helpful and friendly.

My partner and I decided to be spontaneous one night and book a get away. This is our first time using air bnb or doing anything like this. I’m glad we chose this as our first trip! Robert was such a gentleman, the hut was clean and had everything we needed along with being well presented and the location was easy to find. All round great experience from start to finish. We will defiantly be coming here again. Thank you to yourself and your family for the little treats and the fire pit is incredible! Thanks again Lewis & Jessie

The stay was exactly what we wanted. Private, off-grid accommodation in beautiful surroundings. We were left to our own devices although the hosts were very responsive, if needed. We didn’t need anything though as their welcome pack is so thorough and informative. Was lovely to arrive to a pre-warmed hot tub and a bottle of their cider. Sleeping with the windows open and waking up to the bird song was such a wonderful start to the day. It rained the whole time we were there so we’d love to return in sunnier weather so we can make use of the picnic benches outside of the shop and enjoy a few ciders! A fantastic spot to get away from the noise in a beautiful location with great hosts. Would 100% return.

We're fans of shepherds' huts, and this was the best we've ever stayed in. Peaceful, private location with a great view of the castle. Very well equipped and decorated to the highest standard. Lovely welcoming touches, like the 'get you in' pack and the decent supply of wood for the stove. Very highly recommended.
