This main hut was especially built for us, and is now being offered for the first time. It is BIG at 18' x 8'6 and has a SEPARATE shower room/loo hut which is 12' x 7'6...the size of most people's bathrooms! It is stylish, luxuriously and fully equipped, and has a large outside deck overlooking our fields with 18 alpacas and Capability Brown open parkland beyond that. The hut has satellite WiFi and a Smart TV, offering Netflix, BBC i Player, All 4, You Tube etc.

Situated in an idyllicpart of west Dorset, and just a short drive from the Jurassic Coast, this location and setting has everything you could possibly want for a few nights quiet and peaceful Glamping....without the hardships (the loo, for example, is a normal flush loo...!) An induction hob, fridge/freezer and microwave, together with mini log burner make this a cosy home away from home, and the separate shower/bath hut just a few paces away (for exclusive use of the one two person shepherd's hut) makes this a luxurious and spacious choice without the usual glamping compromises! There is also a small BBQ just to the side of the deck.

Our in tact breeding male alpaca (Dandi, by name!) is often just outside your window, and the spectacular views over parkland are just idyllic. If you want the best...then these two new stylish huts are it! For longer stays, we also have a washing machine and dryer available.

    What a fantastic stay. The hut was spotless and included everything we needed for our stay. The view overlooking the Alpacas was a delight as was the log fire which made the hut warm and cosy.

    Idyllic hide-away close to all sites in the area. Lovely neighbours - the alpaca herd and Dandie- and attentive and very helpful and friendly hosts. Definitely recommended to all who love sheperds huts and nature!

    We stayed two nights at this lovely hut and it was exactly what we needed. The property is pristine and the views (especially the alpacas!) just gorgeous. We had everything we needed and just enjoyed the quiet after two days of sightseeing. Thank you again for providing a great stay!!

    Cute and a bit of a novelty, though lack of floor space means suitcases are a nuisance. There is plenty of drawer space under the bed if you want to unpack your stuff. The bathroom hut is lovely inside but the novelty of going from the living hut to the bathroom hut wears off fairly quickly. The charcoal fire/bbq was unusable. The owners were very friendly and it is a beautiful property.

    The accommodation was different to what we would normally stay in but enjoyed the experience. All we required were available in the hut and in good condition. Great to see the Alpaca's in the adjacent field.

    My husband and I had a two night break away and loved our stay at the shepherds hut, Paul and Ljnda were ever so welcoming and we had such a restful time there. Beautiful surroundings, perfect for walks around Dorset. The hut is so cosy with many lovely touches and decor, the alpacas outside really add to the outdoor experience and fun to watch!

    We loved our time in the little shepherds hut. Really conveniently located and a quirky little place just right for a couple of nights. Plenty of space and really nice bathroom hut. Lovely and private and so nice watching the alpacas with a morning coffee or evening glass of wine.
