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.

What a truly special place. Set in secluded surroundings, it really a great place to unwind and refresh. The views are amazing, the walks fantastic and the accommodation rustic and full of charm. Close enough to society to have things to do but far enough away for an extra special relaxing romantic hideaway. An absolute gem of a place that we shall return to for sure. And an extra special gesture of yummy cake warming on the Aga for when we got there.

In addition to the positive comments above you will (weather permitting and it did for us) be able to enjoy DARK SKIES. No cloud, no moon, no artificial light and the sky is just amazing. Take a guide book and look into the past. You might see the present in the shape of the ISS passing overhead. Other highlights. Fresh fish bought in Lyme Regis. The amazing Dansel Craftwork Gallery in Abbotsbury (take money!). The beach and collapsing cliffs at Charmouth. The Olive Tree in Bridport. More nuthatches than you've ever seen (encouraged by birdseed).

Ultimate bolt-hole. The Hut is cosy, self-contained and fully equipped with all you need. Thoughtful touches & helpful owners. The English countryside in full glory, owls, deer, woodlands, hills. I came solo this time but will come back with my husband another time, it lends itself to romance. It's called a hut and it is made of wood but this is a stylishly and creatively built hut with lots of space arranged with great thought and care. Lots of great walks without needing to get into a car and Lyme Regis, Axminster, Bridport, Jurassic coast plus much more a short drive away. HIghly recommend.

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.
Amazing Hideaway which we can't recommend enough. The Hut is beautifully decorated and has literally everything you could want - The Aga provided gentle warmth and fantastic toast throughout our stay. - on the couple of cool nights we had the wood burner provided masses of heat. The Hut provided a fantastic base for our visit and truth be told we could have spent the whole break without going out and we would have been quite happy - There were Deer and Birds to view a plenty, at dusk the Bats came to flit past the windows - and oh! what a glorious view of the night sky. - What a great place!!
