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.

Off the beaten track in the middle of nowhere. Perfect. A remarkable, rare (re)treat. And Mark truly an amicable owner. Hidden down a track and such a surprise to find somewhere quite so ‘first-impression’ welcoming, instantly calming, captivating. Yes, the dramatic countryside is the main event, but few things gave greater pleasure than wandering back to such a revitalising ‘cuddle of a cabin’, where all expectations are positively met. Birdsong by day; wood burner by night; privacy at all times. A genuinely outstanding rural experience; wholly recommended to anyone seeking fabulous memories!

Thank you for a fantastic week in your wonderful Hut and its fabulous surroundings, there aren't many huts I could easily spend several months in, there wasn't a thing that had been overlooked. We also had the best of both seasons with a tropical(if you're from Scotland!)first half of the week and a more autumnal but equally beautiful second half exploring our beloved West Dorset again. We will definitely book again next year and our stay at The Hut this year has has convinced us that our future almost certainly lies in West Dorset

Just walking down the path with our bags and German Shepard you can feel the Hut work it’s secluded magic on you. Nestled in the crook of green hills and active wildlife the hut just takes you in and warms you with it’s AGA heart. It’s our 4th time here... The Hut offers as great base to explore the great beaches or gastronomic haunts or just a place to take advantage of poor mobile signal and an opportunity to disconnect. See you in 2020 for the 5th time.

This is our fourth time at The Hut and we just love it! Ideal for every type of person - those that want to go and explore, those that wish to walk everywhere and breathe in the most amazing views and for those just like us that actually just want to shut the world out for a little while. It’s warm, it’s so quiet and peaceful and above all we can choose not to see a single soul for our entire holiday 😉 However, when we feel a bit more social we can head out in any direction for an adventure. It’s like the Hut gives us a welcome embrace when we light the fire and knows just what we need!

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.
If your are looking for a cosy, secluded stay out in the countryside, the Hut is the place to be. Stunning views, wonderful walks on your doorstep. The only sound that you will hear are the songs of the birds. If the weather isn’t that nice to go out, the hut is comfortable to spend your day, with good wifi, a cosy woodburner and a nice bath. The kitchen is equipped with a big fridge so you can bring your own food for the whole week if you want to. About 6 miles away is the coastal town Lyme Regis which is worth a visit.
