The Experience
Through dappled woodland, down a drive swathed with wild flowers in spring to the most romantic, tucked away wooden retreat with stunning views over meadows dotted with Herdwick sheep. You’re quite alone and not overlooked so you’ll feel free as birds.Inside is warm, unfussy and welcoming with plenty of squishy seats, a sweet kitchen area with a warming Aga (lit in cooler months) and all the stuff even a demanding cook could need. Books, maps and a wood-burner with plenty of logs make rainy days happy too, so hunker down and plan your next outing.Bring bikes and join The Marshwood Vale which passes the top of the drive, explore Charmouth Forest with walking tracks in multiple directions, visit micro-breweries, gin distillers and vineyards, drive to Lyme Regis (12 minutes) for Hix oyster and fish. Beaches (10 minutes) are grand for fossil hunters, Burton Bradstock has the marvellous Hive Beach Cafe. Return to a sundowner on your veranda and watch the stars, and bats, come out.

We absolutely loved our week in The Hut. It is the perfect escape in a beautiful location. Lovely local walks to explore the area with pub lunches, before coming back to cosy seclusion with an amazing view over rolling Dorset hills. The Hut has everything you could want for a relaxing stay, and we really enjoyed its calmness - punctuated only by the occasional owl or fox. We can’t wait to come back soon.

The perfect place to relax and unwind! Peaceful, comfortable and stylish with a lovely view over the valley. Easy to get to, some great places to eat within a short drive, beautiful woodland walks straight from the door. We intend to come back!

We had a fabulous week, the hut is a beautiful property. It is unique, rustic, comfortable, well equipped and in an idyllic position. We spent hours simply taking in the views from both inside and sitting on the lovely covered veranda. It’s also near the coast so there’s easy access to the coast path, beaches, seaside towns and villages if and when you can tear yourself away from the peace and quiet of the hut. Communication from Mark was excellent, whilst respecting our privacy throughout our stay, which was very much appreciated. We highly recommend the hut and look forward to returning.

The most peaceful and relaxing holiday retreat! We could have stayed put and fed the friendly robin for the whole stay but the walks from The Hut and the nearby beaches and beautiful Lyme Regis tore us away for a while! The Hut has everything you need and would suit any weather! We were lucky enough to enjoy some sunshine and made the most of the sun loungers and relaxed to the sound of the birds and cows.. Mark was the most communicative and friendly host even before our holiday had begun, thanks so much for your “Goodbye” email, that was a first! You have built a fantastic ‘hideaway’.

Location
The neighbourhood
You're well ensconced in Charmouth Forest here with walks in many directions – spot buzzards, deer, pheasant and sheep by day and badgers, foxes and bats at night. A mile up the road is Woodhouse Farm Stables for lovely hacks along bridle paths. There are plenty of good pubs nearby: Shaves Cross in the Marshwood Vale, the Anchor Inn at Seatown and the Harbour Inn at Lyme Regis one of many to enjoy. River Cottage HQ is worth a visit – some of their foraging courses take place in the forest at the top of the drive. You're near to pebble and sandy beaches for grand days out with a picnic.
Local points of interest from Susan & Mark Rogers
- Excellent horse riding close by with Lee at Woodhouse Farm Riding Stables. All abilities welcome.
- National Cycle Network at end of drive.
- Fabulous local restaurants, including Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall’s River Cottage which also offers cookery courses and Mark Hix’s Oyster and Fish House.
- The Marine Theatre and Seafishing at the Cobb, Lyme Regis.
- Great walks straight from the door into beautiful Dorset countryside.
- Good for bird watching & fossil hunting along the nearby Jurassic coast.

Introducing
Susan & Mark Rogers
Mark (who used to be a commercial pilot) and Sue (a delightfully friendly ex ward sister who bakes a mean Welsh cake) live a field away and through the trees, but they can't see you and you can't see them. They built the hut in 2012 having completed renovating their own home and it has been let out more or less continually ever since. They love sharing this special part of Dorset with the people who come to stay.
Tucked away in the heart of the Dorset countryside, The Hut is an ideal rural retreat full of rustic charm. We enjoyed local picturesque walks with our dog and discovering beautiful beaches, local pubs, and vibrant towns a short drive away. Evenings were spent cosying up by the fire to the sound of owl calls and the occasional rustle of wildlife. Thoughtfully equipped with everything for a peaceful, restorative stay, The Hut blends comfort and character very well. We look forward to returning.
