The Artisan Shepherd’s hut is our very first shepherd’s hut, it is nestled into a secret garden surrounded by a hornbeam hedge. Very private!
About the Artisan
French doors give you access to the Artisan, which is equipped with antiques and restored furnishings to give a relaxed country style. The kingsized bed has ample storage below and a pull out table for intimate dinners for two. Each hut is individually decorated. The Artisan has a fun colour scheme with wallpaper inspired by Edouard Manet.Â
The ensuite includes our own handmade Fizzly Tree natural soap.
The Artisan has its own outside private fire pit and dining area.  The hot tub is positioned right in front of the Artisan and is very private. I can’t think of a better way to enjoy a starry night! If we know your arrival time we will try our best to get it warming before you arrival
Kitchen facilities
The kitchen is furnished with freestanding antique furnishings and built in sink. There is an induction hob, kettle, toaster, china, cutlery, and washing up facilities with Ecover washing up liquid and tea-towel. Â
Tea, coffee, oil and sugar provided.
There is also cooking equipment that can be used over the fire pit. Â
BBQ Hut
Within the forest garden there is also a BBQ hut. This is a hexagonal building with the BBQ in the middle.
The red fridge in the BBQ hut is for the sole use of the Artisan. Guests are welcome to use the shared BBQ hut facility during their stay.
As this facility is shared by only 3 huts it is usually available for solo use. It is spacious enough to take a large group if you are visiting with friends.

Expansive views from the hut and local footpaths
We are fortunate to enjoy stunning views down a long valley all the way to Eggardon Iron Age fort. With not so much as a hamlet visible this makes for some wonderful scenery.Â
We are surrounded by a fabulous network of footpaths and bridleways – we supply a walking map. As a result of the rolling hills of Dorset each brow of a hill brings a whole new vista. Within half an hour walk of the glampsite you can see miles of the Jurassic coast all the way from Abbotsbury to Lyme Regis. You will never bore of this vista!Â
If you are wishing to eat out there are also some lovely places within nearby Beaminster or beyond. Beaminster is a 2 mile walk.
