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.

The Hut - a slight misnomer for such a spacious and well appointed abode - is a piece of paradise! It's so secluded, so peaceful…time slows down...is spent watching the cows grazing in the field, the birds flitting about the trees, the changing light, the stars at night….the overarching beauty of The Hut is that you feel immersed in nature. Yet it's super comfortable, relaxing and warm and cosy. Plenty of space to hang out - & a v big bath! Mark & Susan are great hosts: welcome hospitality touches + Mark provided great local intel! We didn’t want to leave (nor did the dog). Highly recommend!

What a welcome retreat The Hut proved to be. It's set in beautiful countryside with amazing views from the glass fronted lounge, wrap around decking and garden. The noisiest it got was the sound of a horse walking by! We loved the rustic look of the place, with all the lovely timber, yet The Hut is also very well fitted out with everything you need. The bed is incredibly comfortable, as are the sofas, and the bathroom has a huge bath and a very good shower. We went during the heat wave, so we didn't get to use the log burner - I think we'll have to make a winter visit!

A very sacred space to retreat from the busy ness of "life". I have been returning here at numerous times of year for a number of years now. I cannot recommend this haven of peace enough. A truly comfortable stay surrounded by birdsong and the occasional "moo" or "hoot". Beautiful woodland walks and hillside tracks right on your doorstep as well as easy access to the beach and some fine restaurants in the area. Mark is a wonderful host and will leave you in total seclusion unless of course you ever need for anything, though to date I have been more than contented. I will return again!

What a wonderful find. The Hut is so comfortable, with lots of room to chill out if you don't feel like venturing out. The setting is so quiet and tranquil, the perfect place to get away to recharge your batteries. There are lots of walks from the property so there is no need to get into the car during your stay, just stock up on food and drink before you arrive! We really loved our short stay, thank you very much for creating this perfect place to share.

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.
We loved The Hut so much that we returned for our second visit within a matter of months! We had the best holiday, 'getting away from it all'; walking the dog along the stunning coastal paths, beaches, through woods and fields, returning for cosy fireside evenings, the Aga keeping us toasty and cooking our food to perfection. We were awed by the stars at night and the beautiful sunrises - which are conveniently late in winter ; ) Once again a huge thanks to Mark and Susan for the hospitable touches, and for their vision in creating such a magical place. We will be back! : )
