Four wonderful nights spent at Fig Tree. Very secluded and quiet with daily visits from the chickens which was great. Owners were lovely and delicious scones, cream and jam on arrival. The shepherds hut had everything you would need and we would definitely recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay here; it’s a beautifully designed, quiet hut, lovely view, gorgeous chickens roaming nearby, fresh and clean. We had a lovely walk into both West Bay and Bridport despite rainy weather! Scones on arrival were delicious. Whilst it’s self catering and the tea bag each was a welcome plus, a coffee sachet or two would have been a bonus for non-tea drinkers perhaps, for short (2-3 night) stays; just an idea! A wonderful place and kind host ~ a big thank you.

The shepherd's hut was exceptionally clean and welcoming. It was also more private and peaceful than we anticipated which was wonderful. We visited in winter and were perfectly cosy. Thank you for a lovely stay.
