    “A truly wonderful stay.”

    Simple, secluded luxury on a private estate, next to ancient woodlands, with roaming deer greeting you for breakfast. Every detail was thought about, the fixtures and fittings are high end, the scenery serene, the cabin - perfect, cosy, comfortable. Sika provided a well needed break for my wife and I, some time alone to read and eat good food. We'll be back (very soon I imagine).

About the location

WARMWELL

Dorchester 5.7 miles; Weymouth 8.1 miles; East Lulworth 10.8 miles

Warmwell House Shepherds Huts are located in the small village of Warmwell, 5 miles from Dorchester. Warmwell is a conservation village with many traditional dwellings, including the 400 year old manor house and a charming church (open to visitors). The nearest village with a pub and shop is Broadmayne (1.8 miles away by car - or a lovely walk via Warmwell Heath -approx 3/4 hour). Warmwell is a 10 minute drive to Ringstead Beach and is also close to the popular attractions at Lulworth, Corfe, Dorchester and Weymouth. For those who prefer not to get in their cars there is a wonderful assortment of wildlife right on your doorstep. Deer roam freely and will often come up to the huts. Cattle and sheep graze the land whilst rare species of birds and Exmoor ponies can be spotted on Warmwell Heath.
So relax up with a cuppa, lounge in the hammock and take in the tranquility of your surroundings. As dusk draws in enjoy watching the stars and wait for the deer to make tentative steps towards your hut. There are plenty of blankets to keep you warm as you unwind by the firebowl, roasting marshmallows or simply enjoying some rest and contemplation. A list of nearby cafes,restaurants and walks is provided so you can plan the next day. If you prefer to stay put there are plenty of tasks to be getting on with such as gathering kindling for your fire, watching out for birds and wildlife or prepping a delicious barbeque.

Please note, the hut does not accept children.

Please note, no hen or stag parties.
