Unique and Bespoke Stunning Thatched Dorset Shepherds Huts with Private Hot Tub
A pair of handcrafted shepherds huts which host bedroom and living space with a French enamel log burner, dining area for 2 and t.v, which leads through to a fully equipped galley kitchen which then leads on to the other hut which is the bathroom which has an amazing steam shower for two ! Equipped with lights, bench, foot massage, steam maker, rainfall shower plus another shower head and various massage jets, bluetooth and fm radio. This shower unit also transfers into a steam room.
Outside there is your own private garden area, which has a Hot Tub with masses of jets and fountains - great fun, an enclosed fire pit with BBQ and garden furniture. The garden area is partially lawned and partially gravel and fully fenced. There is also a fishpond with fountain in the garden and a secret hidden deck that beckons for an evening aperatif while gazing over the countryside. A wonderful spot for early morning sunrises or stunning evening sunsets.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Ruth Turnbull
A little about us - Mike and Ruth. Our home is Hedera Cottage which is attached to our other holiday let Godwin's Cottage. Mike has lived here for many years and has worked long and hard on updating the cottages and grounds. It was in need of a bit of TLC when he took it on. He is a digital marketeer by trade and can be found a lot of the time sat at the kitchen table drinking masses of coffee tapping away on his keyboard. Ruth joined Mike a while ago after moving back to the UK after working in France for 17 years running a large Chateau. Furry Friends - Lulu an elderly black Labrador that is the Head of the family, Gordie another black Lab who likes to think he is head of the family and Harley our soft and loving Irish Wolfhound and Percy & Mayzee, 2 black cats who look down in disdain at the silly dogs. The garden is partitioned off so the animals will not disturb you, but are more than happy to play with new friends if you would like that. Occasionally the 2 daughters of the family return, normally when in need of a roast dinner or a bank balance top up. At the moment they are working hard and travelling the world.
Why they chose this property
The Huts in the Glade is a place where you can totally unwind and relax. The property is edged by Laurel hedges at the front & side, surrounded by it's own grounds, approximately 2 acres and edged by open fields at the back and a horse paddock at the bottom of the garden. It is totally secluded and peaceful. All you tend to hear is the night time hooting of the owls, the morning song of the birds, the occasional bark of a deer (or dog!) and the whirring of the pheasant as he and his partner like to feed from our bird table ! So although being able to get into the hustle and bustle of the towns and tourists down the road, it is a haven to come back to in the evening and relax.
What makes this property unique
Mike and I hand built our set of Shepherds Huts. They are totally unique and you won't find any others like them in the world. This means you get a lot of extra space than normal huts, including a full bathroom & kitchen. The glade is peaceful and calm. If you want to go to sleep listening to the hoot of owls or the nightly calls of the stags. To sit outside star gazing and then be woken up by birdsong, this is the place for you.
