Vakantiewoningen in een herdershut in Test Valley District

Just had a fantastic stay here - it's a beautifully presented shepherd's hut surrounded by rolling green. Host communication was great, and we found the hut to have everything we needed. The bed is comfy, the shower is great, and there is a functional kitchen. There are a couple of bbqs and a swim spa (a very large hot tub), making it easy to relax if you don't fancy going out. If you do want to go out, you can walk to local pubs or to Heale Gardens, which is lovely. I imagine most would come here by car but it is possible to train into Salisbury and get a taxi, as we did. All in all, we couldn't recommend this place enough - it's fantastic and I think we'll try and make it a yearly occurrence.

A lovely little place to stay! We managed to book a last minute one night get away in the shepherds hut and it was a perfect choice for us. Hassle free booking with very good communication. A beautiful little hut in lovely surroundings. Easy to find and had everything we needed for our overnight stay. The hosts were very welcoming as were the neighbours who owned the big garden/field opposite! Found a great pub (The Crown) in the village where we enjoyed a lovely Sunday carvery! Overall a great overnight stay. Thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing your little slice of paradise - the view, space, cabin and overall location make this not to be missed. The large fire pit was amazing and thanks for the first night’s wood. The view from the gas bbq was phenomenal. Fantastic pubs and historical sights of Lacock in walking distance, absolute peace and quiet, it’s just a dream holiday for anyone - especially a weary urbanite like me. Perfect for couples to go off-grid and relax. Thanks so much Mark for your helpful comms and all the thought you’ve put in to the place - we can’t wait to come back :)

A fantastic place in a pretty, serene location where you can chill by the fire pit. The kids loved the hut and the amenities and brought them away from their devices and into the outside!

I booked this for my parents in law and Sue was brilliant. Very warm and welcoming and was happy for us to visit them as much as we liked. Beautiful garden with beautiful views, will definitely be booking again.

This is a perfect little place in the New Forest! It is our 4th time staying here and we love coming back. The full English breakfast made with locally sourced ingredients is to die for! We love seeing all of the animals on the farm and the forest, and our dog had a mini holiday of her own here. Amanda is an amazing host and a wonderful human being and we love listening to stories from her life and her knowledge about the forest. We hope to be back again

A very tranquil setting. Lovely comfortable accommodation with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Lovely friendly hosts too.

The 2 ladies that greeted us upon check in were friendly and helpful. the campsite is clean, peaceful, tranquil. plenty of toilet/shower blocks which were clean, modern and accessible whenever my family needed. all guests very friendly. as for the shepherds hut, it was warmer then expected with plenty of room and storage under the main double bed. mattress very comfortable and 2 single beds which could fit up to 5ft 2 child on comfortably. if your on a budget i would recommend arranging food (there is 2 electric hob perfect for pasta) as a family of 4 we walked to nearest pub restaurant st peters finger, was nice but pricey and limited menu. highly reccommended for short stay (1/2 nights) with local links for things to do

We had a perfect stay in Isabel’s charming & peaceful Shepherds Hut. Stunning location nestled in the new forest, with plenty of walks straight from the door. We especially recommend the walk to The Royal Oak pub for a pint and ploughman’s! Isabel was an extremely helpful, friendly & generous host. The hut is very well equipped for a short stay, and we loved sitting in bed looking out across the green paddocks. We also loved cooking outside on the BBQ in the evening sun. All in all we couldn’t have asked for more & would highly recommend!

My son and I had a wonderful stay. It was just what we needed; relaxing, beautiful surroundings and very close to the beach. Tim was a great host and we will definitely return.

Elaine and Bruce were fantastic hosts and truly made us feel at home. We arrived and the BBQ was fully set up ready to use and the beautiful Shepherd's Hut was immaculately clean and comfortable. They were always on hand to help with any questions we had and were thoroughly welcoming and accommodating. We would certainly recommend to others!!

Just got home from a fantastic 3 night stay in the shepherds hut, could not fault it one bit, the hut was amazing and such a peaceful place to stay. We would highly recommend it and we will be looking into booking again in the future. Tom our host was fantastic from start to finish, checking in with us regularly via message to see if we needed anything and was super responsive when we messaged him or asked for anything. Thank you Tom and Lucy. We had the best time.

This was such a great experience from beginning to end. We had a lovely open view across a large meadow area where we saw hares and deer. We barbecued, used the firepit, splashed in the hot tub, and generally relaxed. Everything we needed was provided - we just brought our food and drinks. There's a walkable pub (~45 minutes away) and shop next to that. Laura was very friendly and helpful. We couldn't have had a better time, short of someone posting a winning lottery ticket through the door as we slept.

Had a beautiful weekend at the hut. With fully equipped kitchen. Host provided enough coil to keep us warm. I just think that check out time is a bit too early, meaning that we had to clean everything and be expected to leave at 10am. It’s a beautiful place and great location for the area. Would definitely go back and recommend. Only issue is the early checkout combined with the strict cleaning policy.

The tinky winky hut was a prefect relaxing little getaway.. We loved using the hot tub and cooking on the bbq. Inside the hut was a lovely size space and had everything you needed. Neo our husky, had the best time zooming up and down the enclosed area. Mo was there to greet us and went through everything we needed to know and very responsive on here if we needed to message him. Great hosts! We loved the freshly laid eggs in our breakfast sandwiches too. Thankyou for them. We would definitely recommend this place :)

Well appointed shepherd's hut in country setting. Perfect for a few days of retreating from the world. Comfortable, cosy & quiet inside, with seating & aperitif-size table outside. The little Everhot oven was delightful & the duck down duvet perfect for snuggling under, behind the pretty linen curtain. Plenty of off-road walking (or in my case running) routes. Village café, shop & two pubs, in easy walking distance. We found St Mary Bourne to be very well kept village, with an interesting community. Plenty of birds and other wildlife to observe. Easy check-in & good communication.

This was the second time we stayed at the glorious little Acorn Hut. Again we were very warmly welcomed by the family and we had a perfect stay! We will go back again!

My partner and I had a wonderful stay in Emily’s shepherds hut, with our Beagle. The village is quiet, beautiful and clean. The local pub was perfect to dinner on the day of arrival. The drive to the new forest was along picturesque country roads and super easy. We also went to Bath for the day as well during our stay and I would highly recommend! The shepherds hut has everything you could need, and Emily was super helpful when booking. We really appreciated being left to our own devices for our stay and would absolutely recommend if you’re after a relaxed, out of city experience. A magical stay, thank you Emily x

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hut! Had everything you’d need and a lovely location!

beautiful surroundings and incredibly conveniently situated very close to where we were heading. quiet and full of friendly deer

I live locally and booked the shepherd's hut for my parents for a night. They were absolutely delighted with the stay - it's extremely comfortable, well appointed and spacious. They commented that the shower was fantastic, and there are loads of thoughtful touches all around the cabin as you explore. Thanks again, Mandy and Martin - I'm sure they'll be back!

Perfect night away, cosy and relaxing - just what we were looking for. Great location, easy check in and helpful host. Food at local pub was also really nice. We would definately stay again!

We had a lovely stay at Louise’s charming shepherd’s hut. It was cozy, clean, and well-equipped, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is fantastic - just a short walk to beautiful Avon Beach and literally couldn’t be closer to amenities. Louise was a welcoming and helpful host, making everything super easy. The hut is right next to a road, so if you’re a light sleeper, that might be something to consider - but otherwise, I couldn’t fault it. A perfect spot for a getaway with the sea close by!

Absolutely beautiful cabin to spend a weekend away! My partner and I absolutely loved our stay, the combination of being out in nature with the wood fired hot tub was just amazing. The location is fantastic too, as we drove down to Durdle Door on the Saturday and spent the day in Bath on the Sunday. Angela is a fantastic host and we will definitely be back!
