Description

Charmouth 2.9 miles. Oak Shepherd Hut is a charming escape nestled within a beautiful woodland in Monkton Wyld, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Dorset, but still conveniently located near Lyme Regis, Charmouth, and Seatown along the famous UNESCO Jurassic Coast. Ideal for couples, this rustic hut provides a distinctive glamping experience with an open-plan design, making it perfect for those looking for a romantic retreat.

Inside, you will find a snug double bed that's ideal for falling asleep after a day of adventure. The kitchenette is equipped with a small fridge and cooking facilities, perfect for whipping up light meals or savoring a morning coffee. The living area offers a lovely place to relax, featuring a woodburning stove for chilly evenings. Outside, the property features a spacious gravel seating area complete with a fire-pit, ideal for outdoor dining or simply enjoying the serene surroundings.

Set within private woodland, this area provides a lovely spot for taking leisurely walks through bluebells and primroses, enjoying a picnic by the stream, or observing the local wildlife, including deer, pheasants, and various woodland birds. If you’d rather not cook, a quick drive will bring you to The Hunters Lodge Inn, a 16th-century coaching inn pub at Raymonds Hill that operates seven days a week. If you venture a bit farther, you'll find Lyme Regis with its beaches and the historic Cobb harbour. The sandy beach is perfect for swimming or relaxing in the sun, while those seeking a more active beach day can try paddleboarding or embark on a boat trip from the Cobb harbour to take in the breath-taking Jurassic coast from the water. The town features a fantastic array of restaurants and indie shops, excellent for gathering your holiday necessities.Millers Farm Shop, located just a short drive away in Kilmington, offers a wide selection of local goods and fresh meats, with its on-site restaurant being a favored stop for a meal. This area is well-regarded among walkers, as the South West Coastal Footpath presents amazing hiking opportunities, passing through numerous coastal villages and offering stunning views along the Jurassic Coast. Famous for its fossil-rich shoreline, a trip to Charmouth will lead you to its Heritage Coast Centre, where you can learn about the local geology and see Attenborough’s Sea Dragon up close, or participate in one of the guided fossil walks to search for your very own ammonites. Other popular day trips include Beer, a picturesque fishing village boasting a sheltered beach, charming shops, and art galleries, or Seaton, known for its wetlands centre and heritage trams.

Oak Shepherd Hut in Monkton Wyld presents a one-of-a-kind and peaceful retreat, perfect for a couple's getaway in the beautiful heart of Dorset.

The hut was perfect in every way - and I’m so sad to leave such a comfortable bed.

The only slight negatives were - it was very hard to find (what 3 words took you to farmhouse) the bridge is overgrown so we drove over it several times without realising. The track to the hut is very hard going and would not be suitable for all vehicles so this should be made more clear. It was extremely hot in the hut so a fan would have been useful and maybe a washing line to dry towels after a beach day would be a useful addition (like a camping fold away one) . But this did not detract from such a beautiful setting. The wildlife was amazing- I enjoyed my morning coffee outside watching butterflies, listening to crickets and spying squirrels in the trees. Beautiful and unique experience I won’t forget.
