It may have few big towns and no cities or motorways at all, but Dorset definitely doesn't have a dearth of dazzling scenery. Fan of hidden hamlets and rolling farmland? Then you may find it particularly pretty at Lower Wraxall Farmhouse, a tiny site 20 minutes' drive north of Dorchester. Things have moved since the days when Thomas Hardy described Gabriel Oak's basic shepherd's hut in 'Far from the Madding Crowd'; guests looking for a bit of pampering should find the accommodation's kitchen, logburning stove, running water and wifi welcome. One thing hasn't changed, though – these huts are still cosy hideaways, small enough to be snug but big enough to contain almost everything you could need (there's a reason Hardy called them 'little Noah's arks’). Guests can also use the on-site tennis court or the board games in the hut. The hut is on a working farm, set in a secluded location a short walk away from the pastures and main buildings. The private garden it's been parked up in is bordered by a stream and is almost always abuzz with wildlife that you can admire from the comfort of your porch or on the outdoor furniture provided. Or maybe you'd like to look up at the stars while wallowing in your rather fab outdoor bath (with hot and cold water so you can get it just to your liking)? Lower Wraxall Farmhouse is about 20 minutes' drive from Dorchester, home to the nearest supermarkets. There's also a pub and handy village shop in Cattistock, slightly more than a mile away. Closer to home, owner Judy is happy to welcome you to the farmhouse across the road for breakfast (for an additional cost, and as long as you let her know in advance), including homemade marmalade and locally sourced ingredients.

The Beech Hut herdestuga

Tyckte om The Beech Hut was spotless and had everything you would need. Complimentary milk, cookies and home made carrot cake too! The hosts were extremely friendly & accommodating. The garden was beautiful. Can't wait to stay again!

Tyckte inte om Not being able to stay longer! The garden wasn't completely private. This did not bother me but it might to some.

The Beech Hut herdestuga

Tyckte om Exactly as per the pictures. The hut is in its own enclosed garden which was perfect for letting the dog explore. Great area, with lovely houses to look at and easy to access nearby towns / beach by car. Really enjoyed how peaceful it was sitting out on an evening. The lemon drizzle cake, milk and fresh eggs from their hens was a nice touch - and delicious cake! Judy was a lovely host and great communication.

The Beech Hut herdestuga

Tyckte om The location was so peaceful, surrounded by beautiful trees and a stream running nearby. We sat eating breakfast looking and listening to the variety of different birds that were visiting the bird feeders...wonderful!
The little hut was cosy and warm with a lovely little log burner and a large comfortable bed. It had everything you needed and our dog Jake was able to run around the fenced garden without any restrictions. A perfect little gem that made our 3 day stay over the Xmas period very enjoyable.

Tyckte inte om The cooking facilities were rather restricting .We did take our Air frier but having just one hob and one small saucepan limited our ability to cook a variety of vegetables at a time. I think a double hop and larger saucepans would be an advantage .
We didn't want to eat out during this period so we managed with a few adaptations. Otherwise everything else was perfect.

The Beech Hut herdestuga

Tyckte om Very clean and well equipped - toaster, kettle, microwave oven , pots & pans and everything else you might need during your stay. Even milk waiting in the fridge for a cup of tea :)

Heating was on during our stay and it worked really well for the space, we also used wood burner couple of times which was nice.

Cozy warm space to just forget about your worries and relax. Everything you could think of was there, even pillows and blankets for outside chairs were provided which is a lovely touch.

Loved the peaceful setting, selection of tea, cake and biscuits waiting on us when we arrived was really nice.

Tyckte inte om That we couldn’t stay longer :( wish it was slightly less expensive so we could stay couple more nights

Also it would be nice to have some lights at the back of the hut , unfortunately I timed my bath wrong and it was too dark to use it as couldn’t really see anything

The Beech Hut herdestuga

Tyckte om Stayed in The Beech Hut for a weekend getaway. It’s in an absolutely beautiful setting, with a gentle stream running through an idyllic garden.
There is ample room in the spacious hut with a well stocked kitchenette: fridge, microwave/grill/oven, induction hob, and toaster and kettle. Also had a barbecue which we happily used and an outdoor bath. There is a wood burner, but we didn’t need it in the summer. It got a little chilly overnight but there’s also a little electric radiator which worked very well.
Great for walking, escaping to the countryside, and relaxing in nature.

Tyckte om Good location, lovely garden with little stream which the dog loved. Everything fitted away nicely in the Shepherd's hut but was all there (microwave, hob, shower facilities). Host was friendly and helpful.

The Beech Hut herdestuga

Tyckte om Beautiful location. One of the nicest shepards huts I’ve ever stayed in. Microwave and cooking facilities available, but well tucked away and out of sight due to making the most of the space I would imagine. Great night sleep & the bed was really comfy. Gutted we didn’t get to use the outside bathtub as we spent a little longer at a pub a couple of villages along instead & lost track of time. Would love to come back and stay for longer next time. Super lovely and super peaceful with wonderful hosts. Really found a little gem here!

Tyckte inte om That we didn’t have the time to stay longer!

Tyckte om Location, immediate surroundings, the garden, the babbling brook, the bird feeders, the fire pit, loved the very comfortable, snuggly bed, the eggs, cake and tea/coffee on arrival, the attention to detail including a dog blanket and towel, and Judy, our wonderful host. This is a beautiful place to stay which we would highly recommend.

Lokala sevärdheter

Are you houseproud and/or a keen gardener? Prepare to meet your match at Mapperton House and Gardens (10 minutes' drive), a splendid sandstone manor with some of Dorset's top topiary. If you hold historic houses in particularly high esteem, also drive out to Sherborne Castle and Gardens (30 minutes), a fine country pile built by Sir Walter Raleigh where you can admire Capability Brown landscapes for hours on end… Recommended beaches in the area, meanwhile, include West Bay (30 minutes), Lulworth (40 minutes) and Charmouth (45 minutes). Burton Bradstock and Codgen beaches (both half an hour away) are both particular favourites of the folk on site, as is the coast path around there. Fancy dozing on a deckchair or frittering away small change at old-school arcades? Trips to Weymouth (30 minutes) should also be in the offing. Cerne Abbas (15 minutes) is also worth visiting for the Cerne Abbas Giant, an enormous (and very much naked) male figure carved in chalk into the hillside. No one quite knows quite how old it is or how it got there, but you can have any archeological debates over a scone or two at the village's tea rooms. For more walks, try Eggarden Hill (15 minutes) or the Iron Age fort Pilsdon Pen (25 minutes).
