Wander down the path past the seasonal sweet peas and roses, and traditionally crafted stone wall to find the shepherd’s hut beside two fig trees. Inside the shepherd’s hut you can relax, look out at the organic farm, and watch the evening sun turn the hill golden and the birds swoop and soar. When you are ready to snuggle down for the night, close the custom-made shutters and settle into the free-standing bed chosen to enable ease of access and fitted with beautiful V&A bedding, and a goosedown duvet in the winter.
Fig Tree Shepherd’s Hut is uniquely designed with wheels made at Bridport Foundry. Inside is tastefully decorated for a feeling of calm and freshness, and a vintage G-Plan oak chest of drawers and space under the bed provides storage. There is a fitted kitchen with two-ring built-in ceramic hob, microwave, and fridge with icebox, and also a dining table and chairs so you can eat and stay cosy inside if your holiday coincides with a rainy day, or use the table for a writing retreat and be inspired by the wonderful surroundings as Wi-Fi is included. The shower room includes a large shower cubicle, heated towel rail, and cosmetic mirror.
Fig Tree is the perfect location no matter the weather, if you’re visiting during the winter, the heating will ensure the shepherd’s hut stays warm, and if it’s the summer you can soak up the sunshine in the garden featuring the finest-quality sustainably sourced teak loungers and table.
After exploring the stunning World Heritage Jurassic Coast or strolling through the gorgeous countryside, relax and savour a moment of calm in the garden which features clematis and roses which fill the space with a beautiful scent. Listen for the robins, jackdaws, blackbirds, wrens, sparrows, owls, and sheep. You may even be visited by our friendly and inquisitive hens. And as the sun sets, look out for bats and take time to gaze in wonder at the night sky.
Fig Tree Shepherd’s Hut is the perfect place to experience Dorset’s beauty and unique energy. The area is rich in history and culture with local festivals, thatched brewery, Iron Age hill forts, and Bronze Age barrows, and also an award-winning local food and drinks scene for you to enjoy.

A lovely little place warm and cosy. Greater by the host who is a very lovely person. When we got to fig tree there was a cream tea waiting for us. Scones jam cream milk and tea which was delicious. During the stay Paul was very helpful with any queries we had.

I stayed here with my sister and initially were worried they're wouldn't be enough space in the hut but we were pleasantly surprised, it was roomy and enough space for us both to move round easily.The outside furniture was dated and there were no cushions for chairs and sunbeds that's our only moan.The welcome scones with jam and cream were a lovely touch but found one each was not enough. Two each next time 😋 there definitely will be a next time.
