About this property
Located in Dorset, Hintock is a beautiful, bespoke shepherd's hut offering the most magnificent views and an outdoor bath, making it the perfect bolthole for a couple or solo traveller seeking a tranquil private escape to the countryside.
Step up and enter Hintock through the french doors where you will be greeted by a lovely open-plan living space. To the left is a king-size bed with Egyptian cotton bedding and fantastic views over the rolling Dorset landscape, with plenty of storage space underneath. Opposite the french doors is a comfy leather sofa and television with the kitchen space on the right. The kitchen is well-equipped with an oven, electric hob, fridge freezer and sink - everything you need to cook up a storm after a days exploring. There is a table and chairs for two, again, with stunning views through the window above. The en-suite is through a door at the end of the hut, and is home to a shower, wash basin and WC.
Outside you are treated to your own spa area, with a large stand-alone bath tub with hand-held shower attachment which is privately situated on a patio; a delightful place to unwind and relax with a glass of wine overlooking the surrounding fields. Bespoke wooden deckchairs surround the firepit, which can also be used as a barbecue for cooking alfresco. There is also a bistro seating area which is great for a morning coffee.

Mr Doggart
A beautiful shepherds hut that had all the little touches that make a weekend away so special but I won’t ruin the surprise and let you know what they are. It was very clean, well stocked, and was more than we expected. Thank you!!

This is the perfect place to both relax and to do some sight seeing. We have been a few times before and it is our place to just unwind and get away from the pressures of life.
