Tranquil shepherd's hut retreat in Dorset, with a freestanding tub outside

Tucked away on the edge of the charming village of Piddletrenthide, just a short drive from Dorchester, Hurdlemaker’s Hut is a peaceful countryside escape in the heart of rural Dorset. Blending rustic charm with modern comforts, the handcrafted shepherd’s hut features a cosy open-plan interior with a wood-burning stove and a snug dining area. There's also a well-equipped kitchenette, with a two-ring gas hob, microwave, fridge, kettle and toaster. If you prefer to cook and dine al fresco, make the most of the gas BBQ and outdoor table and chairs before settling in front of the fire pit while admiring the rolling hills. Back inside, there's a double bed and a small bathroom with a shower. The pièce de résistance? A freestanding bathtub, in an enclosed space outside.

Each morning, the private patio is the perfect spot to sip on a brew while planning the day ahead. Hurdlemaker’s Hut is ideally positioned for exploring Dorset's Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), be it scenic walks through unspoiled countryside or driving south to the Jurassic Coast. You'll also find plenty of local attractions close by, including the National Trust’s Cerne Giant, the Dorset Museum, and Borough Gardens. Then back to Hurdlemakers to relax in the garden and take in more of those fabulous bucolic views.
