Reconnect with nature at this unforgettable escape, 'Far From The Madding Crowd’. Set in the heart of the iconic Thomas Hardy’s Blackmore Vale, the Shepherd’s Hut provides the perfect setting to unwind, relax and soothe the soul. The internationally renowned Todber fishing Lakes are a short stroll away. Dorset’s stunning Jurassic coastline is 45 minutes’ drive away. Closer to home are the historic towns of Shaftesbury, Sturminster Newton and Sherborne. Numerous Farm shops and pubs are close by. The shepherd's hut has a well equipped kitchenette which includes a gas hob, small gas oven and fridge. Washing up liquid, salt and pepper, tea, coffee, sugar and olive oil is provided. The shepherd's hut has a Hobbit wood burner for colder weather. The day bed pulls out to make a comfortable queen sized double bed. Above the double bed is a fold away pipe cot (used on boats and similar to a hammock). The table folds up to make a small single bed (190 cm long). There is an ensuite bathroom with a shower cubicle. Bedlinen and towels are provided, along with hand wash, shampoo and shower gel. French doors open out to a deck with table and chairs. Below the deck is an Indian Fire bowl (perfect for barbecuing and/or toasting marshmallows, whilst star gazing). The shepherd's hut is set in a 1.5 acre paddock along with our second shepherd's hut. The paddock is shared with our goats and chickens. There is an outdoor above ground swimming pool which despite not being heated is popular with our guests.
Two beautifully made and very well appointed Shepherd Huts in a very peaceful location with lovely hosts... what's not to like?! We really enjoyed our two night mini break here..
Todber is a hamlet near to the large village of Marnhull and the Saxon hilltop town of Shaftesbury - there are numerous country pubs nearby and fabulous walks at Duncliffe woods, Hambledon, Hod Hill, Bullbarrow, Fontmell Down and Win Green to name but a few. We are next door to the internationally renowned Todber Manor fisheries.
The Dorset Jurassic coast is 45/50 minutes away with attractions such as Lulworth Cove, Studland Beach, Sandbanks, Monkey World, The Tank Museum etc. in the Purbeck area. Weymouth and Dorchester have numerous family based activities and attractions such as the dinosaur museum and a sea life centre.
Away from the coast there are plenty of places of interest to visit, Stourhead House and Gardens; Longleat House and the famous Safari Park; The Newt in Somerset (renowned restaurant and gardens); the Hauser & Wirth Garden and Art Gallery at Bruton , Sherborne Abbey and Castle ,and other stately homes, such as Athelhampton House; Kingston Lacy and Forde Abbey to name but a few.
There is free parking on site - the nearest train station is Gillingham - 6 miles away. Trains run to Salisbury , Cathedral City, and further afield. 3 miles away in the local town of Sturminster Newton is the pretty and scenic trail way (14 miles of off road walking and cycling) which runs from Sturminster Newton alongside the river Stour and beyond the Georgian Town of Blandford to the village of Spetisbury. There are several village pubs along this route for food and drink.
Our larger local towns of Gillingham and Shaftesbury offer a good range of supermarkets for stocking up, there are farm shops locally and village stores in the neighbouring village of Marnhull.
自我介绍
For a good few years I have wanted to share the beautiful area I live in with other people. I enjoy creating beautiful spaces for others to relax and enjoy. The shepherd huts were built by my husband who is a carpenter with over 30 years experience. Having worked in a stressful environment I understand the need for peace and tranquillity far from ‘The Madding Crowd’ which is apt as our shepherds huts are set in the iconic Thomas Hardy Blackmore Vale. I also enjoy gardening and grow lots of organic vegetables - the tomatoes in the polytunnel are especially flavoursome.
