The Hut

We just wanted to thank the owners so much for making the Hut available as a holiday retreat. It really is a little piece of heaven. We had a wonderfully restorative few days. It was perfect. Just what we needed. The Hut was wonderful to return to each day. Such a relaxing and beautiful place to be.

The Hut is a hidden gem with a wall of windows that look onto a rising tsunami of lush, rolling countryside. No people around. No street lights. No cars. Just birds (and later bats!) flying around. Bliss. Inside, there are rustic features that make this a proper, very special stay in the country, a world apart from standard accommodations in the region. The terrific little kitchen, the fantastic wood burner, and the perfect sofas were glorious. Proximity to beaches, good restaurants, and the coastal path were amazing also. We could have stayed a lot longer and we will be back.

What a wonderful place to get away from it all. The location is nearly of the beaten track, and what a fantastic view from “The Hut”. Just a short drive from Bridport and Axminster. Fantastic walks and the accommodation is just right for a cosy night in. Everything you need for a relaxed stay away, with mod cons. Mark and Sue really have nailed it with this accommodation, relaxing and well appointed. We would really like to return soon.

We chose The Dorset Hut for our first anniversary over Easter (2019) and it was just wonderful. We were blessed with fantastic weather but the Hut itself could not have been more perfect. It was so lovely and cosy with amazing views over the countryside. Completely peaceful and relaxing. Mark and Sue were the perfect hosts, helpful and responsive to email queries. We are already planning our next trip there!

The Hut exceeded our expectations, providing a blissful sense of being in the landscape. The beautiful location manages to combine a feeling of seclusion and wildness with accessibility to amenities in Bridport, Axminster, & Lyme, as well as the spectacular Dorset coastline. Despite the local attractions, we ended up wanting to spend time at the Hut, exploring the walks on its doorsteps, and just enjoying its calmness. The peace at night was also remarkable - punctuated only by the occasional owl or fox.
