About this property
REALLY luxurious new shepherd's hut, overlooking our alpacas!
This hut was specially built for us, and is now being offered for the first time. It is BIG at 18' x 8' and has a SEPARATE shower room/loo hut which is 12' x 7'6"...the size of most people's bathrooms! It is stylish, luxuriously and fully equipped, and has a large outside deck overlooking our fields with 18 alpacas and Capability Brown open parkland beyond that. The hut has satellite WiFi and a Smart TV, offering Netflix, BBC i Player, All 4, You Tube etc.
Situated in an idyllic part of west Dorset, and just a short drive from the Jurassic Coast, this location and setting has everything you could possibly want for a few nights quiet and peaceful Glamping....without the hardships (the loo, for example, is a normal flush loo...!) An induction hob, fridge/freezer and microwave, together with mini log burner make this a cosy home away from home, and the separate shower/bath hut just a few paces away (for exclusive use of the one two person shepherd's hut) makes this a luxurious and spacious choice without the usual glamping compromises! There is also a small BBQ just to the side of the deck.
Our in tact breeding male alpaca (Dandi, by name!) is often just outside your window, and the spectacular views over parkland are just idyllic. If you want the best...then these two new stylish huts are it! For longer stays, we also have a washing machine available.

About the host
Hosted by Paul Abadjian
Fiona and Paul Abadjian have 5 properties listed with VRBO. 2 in Dorset, Alpaca Shepherd's Hut and Alpaca Cottage, 1 in Battersea, London, and 2 in Marbella, southern Spain. They have been hosting most of these for 5+ years, apart from the brand new Shepherd's Hut!
Fiona is a corporate travel agent, and Paul buys and sells classic Jaguars, as well as managing the rental properties. They live in west Dorset most of the time, with 2 cocker Spaniels, 18 alpacas and 3 rescue chickens. All their properties are lavishly and stylishly specified as homes, rather than just rental properties.

Why they chose this property
If you want the BEST in terms of Glamping without the compromises, this is it. The 2 huts (one living/sleeping, one showering/loo) are generously sized, and work in the same way as all the facilities in your home would. No primitive facilities for OUR guests!! Many thousands of pounds have been spent establishing the infrastructure, and specifying and detailing these two huts, in order to make them to stylish, attractive and user friendly. The location is stunning, with gorgeous alpacas RIGHT OUTSIDE YOUR WINDOW!! There is a lovely spacious deck on which to relax, eat, drink and take in the spectacular open views. Located just off the National Cycle Path #26....which is a private lane at our location, there are loads of great walks, country pubs and wonderful places to visit on your door step. Bikes are available for hire @£10 each per half day.
There is also decent WiFi courtesy of it's own satellite dish!
