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 love our visits to the hut. It is the perfect escape to break up the winter. Great walks to explore and pub lunches in the area before coming back to cosy seclusion with the coal fired Aga and log burning fire. The oak frame and timber construction give the hut real character and there is plenty of room to stretch out and relax.

We had a lovely time at The Hut. Spacious yet very warm, cosy and comfortable. Good walks from the door. Lovely views. Our dog enjoyed it too.

This was our 3rd visit to The Hut - a place we just absolutely love and so does our dog! From the minute we arrive we feel we are at home....and never ever get bored of the view...whatever the weather it continuously changes and so much wildlife to appreciate. My husband had a close encounter with a tawny owl one evening ....such a special moment. The location for visiting other places in Dorset is perfect too. We can't wait to return again....

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hut, which combines a barn-like sense of space with great coziness, warmth and comfort. With all that wood, and the weather playing up outside, it sometimes resembled an old sailing vessel, watertight and seaworthy. Nice touches include the wheelbarrow for luggage and an ample supply of logs (other owners please note). The tucked-away position ensures privacy and quiet, but the attractions of West Dorset are close at hand (Satnav helps). And the solid-fuel Aga is a feat of engineering!

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.
The hut is a unique place, full of charm and character. It's in the middle of nowhere so you will not be disturbed, just the sheep and horses in the nearby field. Views to die for, log burner, AGA and a stack of DVDs to keep you entertained in the evening. Lyme Regis and the coast is just 5 miles away. The ultimate getaway for a couple looking to take themselves out of the world for a while!
