What a spot Barkhill Shepherd’s Huts has, in four acres of paddocks and surrounded by open Dorset farmland. Each hut has its very own outdoor space, and being spaced approximately 25 metres apart, they have plenty of privacy. They are screened with hazel hurdle fences and decorated with solar lighting and seasonal garden plants. That’s not to mention the far-reaching views towards Hambledon Hill, Compton Abbas and King Alfred's Tower. Inside each hut, the beds are freshly made with 100% cotton duvets and linen. There's a radio, a Bluetooth speaker and binoculars so that guests can check out the local wildlife, which includes the likes of hares, deer, hedgehogs, barn owls, bats, sparrow hawks, kestrels and buzzards. There’s a logburner to keep the place toasty and a handy ensuite shower (with shampoo, shower gel and hand wash provided), toilet and basin. Kitchen facilities are also internal and they include a small gas hob, fridge and a cluster of kitchen utensils. Ground coffee, tea, herbal tea, a pint of milk and a bottle of wine are provided. The outside space is pretty ace too. You’ll be set to soak up plenty of fresh country air around the open firepit, gas or charcoal barbecue and firewood facilities provided. There’s a seating area by the firepit and barbecue so you can get settled for any alfresco meals. Guests are welcome to pick their own apples and pears in the small orchard. If you feel like eating out, just roll on over to Sturminster Newton (10 minutes’ drive), which has a few pubs and eateries (including one which was in the Good Food Guide every year for 40 years). There are also two small supermarkets less than 10 minutes drive away if you need to stock up on supplies.

Tyckte om A truly amazing stay! The Hut was so well equipped we felt like we could up-sticks and move in permanently without a care in the world and never look back! The space was fantastic, the bed unbelievable comfortable, our own shower and full bathroom in the hut itself made for a truly incredible stay. And that's before we even get on to the view, the setting, the welcome and the attentiveness. Waking up to stare out over the fields and hills was so special, going to sleep under the starlit sky it perfect peaceful surroundings, a lovely welcome gift of red wine, and a lovely greeting really made the experience special, plus plenty of firewood and the fire pit right outside our door. Absolutely uncomparable. We will definitely stay again!

Tyckte om Beautiful spot just outside what seems to be a quintessentially English village (Okeford Fitzpaine). Lovely view of the Dorset countryside with wildlife sounds all around. John and Jane met us when we arrived and showed us around but let us get on with our cosy weekend. They were both very friendly and hospitable. The shepherd's hut was in a field near to their house but they'd put up small inobtrusive wicker privacy screens near the hut decorated with fairy lights to make it even cosier. The hut was clean, well-kept, traditional in style and you could tell John and Jane had thought about the little extras. The bed was comfy and the shower was hot (though we didn't need it given the heat). We cooked both nights at the hut, once in the kitchen and once on the bbq. We had everything there we needed to cook. Fresh coffee was also provided! We both had a really wonderful time and would definitely return (if we ever get a weekend to ourselves again)!

Från föreståndaren: Hi Ben

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a great and thoughtful review. We really appreciate it and hope to see you both again some time.

Kind regards
John & Jane

Beautiful wk end getaway!

Tyckte om Super comfortable, cosy and well equipped with lots of personal touches. More space than you might expect and very efficient shower with plenty of hot water. The huts are in a superb position to enjoy your individual space and uninterrupted fabulous views. Jane is a wonderful host, every need enthusiastically catered for, nothing is too much trouble and the welcome gifts were much appreciated.
Ideally located to enjoy this part of Dorset with superb walks in all directions and pretty towns and villages to explore.
Can’t recommend Barkhill highly enough and will definitely be booking again.

Tyckte om Totally loved our stay in the latest addition to the shepherds huts, Sunny Jim.

Couldn’t have asked for better hosts, Jane and John, who were always on hand and made us feel totally welcome. The facilities are spot on with private outdoor seating spaces, parking, gas barbecue and fire basket for sitting out in the evening.

The hut was superbly set up, spotlessly clean and homely with a perfect view across the rolling hills of Dorset. Access to a variety of places worth a trip to is easy. I can thoroughly recommend a visit to Sturminster Newton mill. Jonathan gives a great history tour and the tea and cakes were delicious.

If you’re looking for somewhere that is welcoming, quiet with expansive views and plenty to do on the doorstep then you cannot go wrong with the Barkshill Shepherds Huts.

Wonderful welcome, amazing views, beautifully appointed. We felt very spoilt. …

Tyckte om Wonderful welcome, amazing views, beautifully appointed. We felt very spoilt. Jane and John had thought of everything. Lovely toiletries in the showers, freshly cut flowers, milk in the fridge, there were biscuits, a cafetiere and fresh coffee, nice tea bags... they had included so many extras we had not expected. There were gorgeous local art works and tasteful vintage pieces used to decorate the hut. It was so peaceful; we had a wonderful 5 days and nights. Highly recommend a trip to Milton Abbas if you happen to be there for the annual summer fete in July; also Weymouth for sandy beaches and a lovely harbour and the mobile fish and chip van in Child Okeford ! We will definitely be coming back.

Brilliant hut! Intimate, cosy, fabulous hosts!
