The Hillside Hut

The Hillside Hut is a luxury, unique, private space nestled within the tranquil unspoiled Dorset countryside. Perfectly situated just ten minutes from Dorchester, the quaint County Town of Dorset. You'll also find that you are only of few miles away from the sea and several award-winning beaches.

Everything about The Hillside Hut has been cleverly conceptualised and executed to create a living space like nowhere else. It offers more space that a Shepards Hut and is more unique than a cabin. Research suggests that the shape of the space even has mental health benefits.

The owners take pride in this space. They have even ensured that your stay will benefit the environment and local community. The bathroom is twinned with a loo in Malawi, and the hut is sourced and crafted from local Dorset Oak, the hot tub runs of sawdust briquettes from a local mill, and the owners works closely with local and national charities every year.

Within the main space, everything has been thought of. The oh so comfy king-size bed will allow you the opportunity for a great night sleep and unforgettable morning views. The stylish log burner will keep you warm and cosy, while for ease, radiators are also provided. Stylish décor includes a cuddle sofa where you may choose one of the board games or books to help you digitally detox.

If your relaxation includes devices, the hut has its own excellent WiFi, along with mains electricity and USB charging points. Other opportunities to relax in your private space include a hammock, artificial grass perfect for sun bathing, yoga or reading and a wood-fired hot tub – perfect for soaking in with a glass of bubbles and admiring the night sky.

The indulgence continues outside, where a bespoke horsebox bathroom has been expertly designed to include a piping hot double shower with discreet views of the countryside, heated towel rail and complimentary toiletries.

Meanwhile, a fully equipped covered kitchen provides plenty of scope for fine al fresco dining, with a 4-ring gas hob, grill, microwave, fridge-freezer, and Kadai BBQ and firepit (on request), all adding choices to your cooking options.

For those unable to getaway without children, or actively seeking a family break, the ‘bunk room’ adjoining the main bedroom, through a hobbit door is a 'den' with bunk beds for two children, suitable up to a height of 5'6". The Den has its own side entrance door, which you can choose to lock or use.

Between the views, the tranquility, the relaxing hot-tub, lounging in the sun, or cosying in blankets under the stars, guests often struggle to leave. For those looking to venture out, you will find an award-winning local vineyard, award winning Sculpture by the Lakes and the world-famous Jurassic coast.
