The shepherd's hut was exceptionally clean and welcoming. It was also more private and peaceful than we anticipated which was wonderful. We visited in winter and were perfectly cosy. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Fabulous little find in Bothenhampton, Dorset. A very comfortable Shepherds Hut that’s secluded and in a lovely setting. Location is close by to Bridport and West Bay, ideal for exploring locally and taking country walks. Market day with a variety of stalls on Wednesdays and Saturdays in Bridport that are well worth exploring. The Shepherds Hut is ideal for a quiet country break for two people.
