SHEPHERD'S HUT (DELUXE). Beautiful 1 bedroom, with patio, ideal for couples.


SHEPHERD’S HUT (DELUXE).
A beautiful artisan built luxury large shepherd’s hut, with the ambience of modern living in a quiet country retreat.
Situated at Foxhill Farm set apart from our other two holiday cottages is our one bedroom absolutely charming Shepherd’s Hut. With a hand built fitted oak kitchen supplying full size gas cooker, microwave, retro fridge with freezer, compact coffee machine and toaster, the living area also provides a dining table, two pretty carver chairs and a quirky addition of three vintage cinema seats giving a unique interesting touch. A television with built in dvd is also supplied. Rustic industrial lighting provides a cosy feel and the accommodation which is centrally heated comes fully equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay.
A full size shower room is provided fitted with toilet/shower/wash basin cabinet/heated towel rail and the separate pretty bedroom houses a handmade double bed, a hanging wardrobe space, bedside tables with retro lamps, usb connections and a television with built in dvd. A lovely country outlook is enjoyed from the Hut and as we are in an area of no light pollution you can also indulge yourselves in star gazing through the roof skylight. All quality linen and towels are provided and a washing machine and tumble dryer are available.

A stable door leads from the oak veranda which is up 4 small steps from a private patio with table & chairs and chimenea with FREE logs provided.
The patio area is enclosed with a rustic fence which is ideal for dogs (£10.00 per stay) which are allowed under our standard policy of ‘providing they do not go into the bedroom or on the furniture they are very welcome’.

From the Shepherd’s Hut you can cycle or walk a short distance into the forestry tracks. We have plenty of storage for your bikes. If you wish to bring your boat to take to the coast then we can store this securely for you.
At the bottom of the road we have the local shop/post office and village pub.
Situated on the edge of the New Forest, located on the boundary of Dorset and Hampshire, close to the River Avon. Ideally situated to explore Ringwood Forest, on our doorstep, and a short drive can take you to the New Forest National Park famous for its free roaming ponies, donkeys, cattle and pigs in the autumn,, New Forest Water Park, Moors Valley Country Park, the local quaint town of Fordingbridge, delightful Wimborne Minster or the local market town of Ringwood. All offering excellent pubs/restaurants and coffee houses. Bournemouth coast’s spectacular beaches are an easy 25 minute drive, the Jurassic coast within easy reach and the ancient city of Salisbury with its beautiful cathedral is well worth a visit.

Perfect, peaceful retreat
Loved our shepherd’s hut, small but perfect, comfortable and quirky. So peaceful, surrounded by the beautiful New Forest. Very dog friendly, dog walking area outside of hut, and endless forest walks. Welcoming pub within walking distance serving good beers and food. Thank you Dennis and Heather, we have had a very relaxing weekend.

Gorgeous location, cosy cottage
The moment I walked in I fell in love with the decor, the hut was spotlessly clean and smelt wonderful, close to a gorgeous wood you can walk to, also a great pub to visit, only downside wifi and dryers, we had loads of washing to do and the dryer wasn’t working properly so cost a fortune

Lovely 3 night break
The Shepherd’s Hut was lovely, we really enjoyed our short stay. Did some lovely walks in the forest nearby. Bed was comfortable, and the shower was good. The Kitchen quite small but no problem if you want to do something basic like pizza.

Shepherds Hut Short Break
Had a very nice 3 night stay, and will certainly be looking to return in the future (perhaps to one of the larger properties, as we found the Shepherds Hut a bit on the small side with our large German Shepherd !!).

Beautiful shepards hut located in a quite village. Very private and a home from home everything you need. Spent a few nights here and was so relaxing. The stars at night are amazing and such a peaceful place to sit on the patio outside. Lovely hosts! Visited Bournemouth as the air festival was taking place only a 25 min drive away. Newforest is worth a visit again so close to this hut. Great little break left feeling refreshed which is what you need from a break away! Thank-you Heather and Dennis xx

Luxury loving shepherds!
Very well thought out and pleasantly furnished "hut" (this is selling it short!) - this is a sizeable property to call a hut and is scrupulously clean, in excellent (as new) condition and thoughtfully furnished, right down to the table and chairs outside. Our hosts were kind, helpful and welcoming and we had a very pleasant short stay.

We had a lovely time here. It’s in a great location with a fab pub down the road and beautiful Ringwood forest up the road. It was a lovely place to relax after our long day of cycling. Very peaceful listening to the birds (one even came to see us before we went to sleep - on the skylight). Heather was lovely and welcoming. Thanks for a lovely stay!
