The Shepherds Hut Retreat is an adult only haven in reach of the Dorset AONB and coast - with a set of exquisitely romantic ensuite shepherd's huts. It offers all the luxuries of home, brought into the glorious countryside. And there's a few treats you likely won't have at home such as a sauna and lakeside hot tub. Come and experience it all, just half an hour from the breathtaking Jurassic Coast.

About The Shepherds Hut Retreat

Taste the romance of top notch glamping life at this site which is set close to a sparkling lake - where you'll enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by untouched nature. The site is bordered by the beautiful counties of Somerset, Devon and Dorset - so wherever you're going in the South West, this is a great place to stay. There are four sumptuous and unique shepherd's huts, each with a individually styled interior - designed by top professionals. Inside, whichever one you choose, you'll be treated to ensuite facilities, beautiful vintage furnishings, a private kitchen area and gorgeous views from the wide entrance to the hut. The huts are very roomy, sized at 20ft by 8ft and offer excellent green credentials. Your environmental conscience will be squeaky clean, since the site uses solar power and recycled materials.
