About this property

Fig Tree Shepherds Hut

A gorgeous Shepherd’s hut overlooking an organic farm and only 1 miles from the beach, a perfect retreat!. All on the Ground Floor:

Open plan living space.

Living area: (No TV)

Dining area.

Kitchen area: 2-Ring Hob, Microwave

Bedroom area: Double (4ft 6in) Bed

Shower Room: Cubicle Shower, Heated Towel Rail, Toilet. Electric central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included. Welcome pack. Enclosed garden. Private parking for 1 car. No smoking.. Fig Tree is a bespoke shepherd’s hut designed and created as a beautiful retreat nestled in the corner of a garden orchard. Wander down the path past the seasonal sweet peas and roses, and traditionally crafted stone wall to find the shepherd’s hut beside two fig trees. Inside the shepherd’s hut you can relax, look out at the organic farm, and watch the evening sun turn the hill golden and the birds swoop and soar. When you are ready to snuggle down for the night, close the custom-made shutters and settle into the free-standing bed chosen to enable ease of access and fitted with beautiful V&A bedding, and a goosedown duvet in the winter.

Fig Tree Shepherd’s Hut is uniquely designed with wheels made at Bridport Foundry. Inside is tastefully decorated for a feeling of calm and freshness, and a vintage G-Plan oak chest of drawers and space under the bed provides storage. There is a fitted kitchen with two-ring built-in ceramic hob, microwave, and fridge with icebox, and also a dining table and chairs so you can eat and stay cosy inside if your holiday coincides with a rainy day, or use the table for a writing retreat and be inspired by the wonderful surroundings as Wi-Fi is included. The shower room includes a large shower cubicle, heated towel rail, and cosmetic mirror.

Fig Tree is the perfect location no matter the weather, if you’re visiting during the winter, the heating will ensure the shepherd’s hut stays warm, and if it’s the summer you can soak up the sunshine in the garden featuring the finest-quality sustainably sourced teak loungers and table.

After exploring the stunning World Heritage Jurassic Coast or strolling through the gorgeous countryside, relax and savour a moment of calm in the garden which features clematis and roses which fill the space with a beautiful scent. Listen for the robins, jackdaws, blackbirds, wrens, sparrows, owls, and sheep. You may even be visited by our friendly and inquisitive hens. And as the sun sets, look out for bats and take time to gaze in wonder at the night sky.

Fig Tree Shepherd’s Hut is the perfect place to experience Dorset’s beauty and unique energy. The area is rich in history and culture with local festivals, thatched brewery, Iron Age hill forts, and Bronze Age barrows, and also an award-winning local food and drinks scene for you to enjoy. Wander amongst Bridport’s market stalls and vintage quarter, walk the Southwest Coast Path, swim at the newly-awarded West Bay Bathing Water Site, fossil hunt at Charmouth, explore Chesil Beach, see the famous Lyme Regis Cobb, and visit the renowned Abbotsbury Swannery and Sub-Tropical Gardens. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, now a National Landscape, is truly unforgettable, and at Fig Tree Shepherd’s Hut you can create memories to last a lifetime.
