Barkhill Shepherd's Huts

Syntes om The location and the stunning views. The hut is so pretty, neat, cosy and sparklingly clean. We spent two nights in Sunny Jim and it was blissful and oh so peaceful. Lovely hot shower and a comfy double bed. BBQs, beautiful sunsets and star gazing. What more could you ask?

Syntes om The views are even more gorgeous than any photo can do justice - over to the hills to the east (the hillfort on Hambledon Hill particularly) and far views to the north/northwest.

The field was full of butterflies in July and the sunsets to our left were lovely every night. There was a nice mown path around the field too.

Lots to see in the local area - the cottages are gorgeous in nearby Okeford Fitzpaine. Down the hill there’s a mill and river at Sturminster Newton and lots of other close by towns full of history - eg Sherborne and Shaftesbury (which has gorgeous views). Or you can go up the hills just to the south for even better views. Cerne Abbas was great.

I liked that it wasn’t a touristy spot and plenty of locals were up for a chat.

Syntes 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!
