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’). 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 get your day off to a good start with a full English breakfast.

Tyckte om: Very qwaint little hut, cosy and warm, away from all the hustle and bustle but only half an hour away from the coast and other places so perfect for us. Had fresh milk and hot drinks available so it was a blessing when we finally arrived in the dark and wet. Bed was super comfy although positioned so you need to climb over the other person if you're on the inside, but other than that, great. Lovely shower but bathrooms very small, not a problem for us though, soap, towels etc all supplied. The location is opposite the farmhouse in the old forge, don't do what we did and follow the sat nav!! We had a rather traumatic experience down a farming lane in the dark and rain. Dog towel and blanket also provided which was so helpful, lots of space outside for the dog, gutted I didn't get a chance to use the outside bath or fire pit. Will definitely come back! Oh and had a lovely bottle of bubbly for our anniversary waiting too, such a lovely touch 😊

Tyckte inte om: Apart from the position of the bed, everything else was absolutely great!! Could have done with a couple of games or books and/or a small TV above the bed for bad weather days/evenings but we went and bought some cards so kept busy on the evening anyway.

Tyckte om: Lovely clean and well appointed Shepherd's hut and garden. The fairy lights outside made it feel cozy even in bad weather. The outdoor bath was a great addition! The homemade bread and eggs from the farm were a thoughtful touch.. good location too :)

Tyckte inte om: Nothing really.. the bed was a little on the hard side for us but everyone's different.. and maybe some games and a pack of cards in the hut would have been a nice addition, as we did have one day of very bad weather all day.. luckily I brought my laptop so we were able to watch some films in bed :) Would love it if the price was a little lower than £90 per night as it was quite expensive for us.

Tyckte om: Beech Hut was the ideal location and accommodation for my little autumn retreat with Paisley my Cockerpoo. Nestled in it’s own garden, in very quiet Lower Wraxall it was perfect. Loved the decor, loved the comfy bed! The bath tub out back is an inspired idea and on an autumn night, watching the stars in a warm bubble bath was magical. Very kind of the owner to leave some home made apple cake for me, delicious! The log burner was lovely.

Tyckte inte om: Just small things really, the path to the bath tub in the dark is a little precarious, maybe a little red light that won’t spoil the star gazing would just make the experience a little safer, or perhaps something that could be switched off once you are in the bath, or maybe a torch. Also, though I could manage and the owner offered, lifting the microwave from under the bed is a little challenge, however the microwave is so much more than a microwave! it was a really good idea for the hut. Could do with more info on pitch up website, like there are towels provided, basic toiletries etc, just be helpful to know when packing.

Tyckte om: Really loved the tranquil location, in it’s own enclosed garden area , very safe for dogs. The shepherds hut had every thing we needed for our stay, can’t believe you could get so much in and still have space. From the moment we arrived Judy made us very welcome with a beautiful vase of cut flowers to a box of fresh egg. She gave us lots of ideas of where to eat and where to visit. Sitting by the fire pit under the fairy lights with a glass of wine, perfect way to end the day. Morning cuppa out side watching the woodpeckers on the feeder what a great way to start the morning. There is so much to do in the surrounding areas, we spent the time exploring the beautiful villages and great beaches recommended by Judy. Lots of great food pubs nearby, you do need a car to visit them though. Would defiantly recommend staying there.

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).
