About this property
Located in Dorset, Hintock is a beautiful, bespoke shepherd's hut offering the most magnificent views and an outdoor bath, making it the perfect bolthole for a couple or solo traveller seeking a tranquil private escape to the countryside.
Step up and enter Hintock through the french doors where you will be greeted by a lovely open-plan living space. To the left is a king-size bed with Egyptian cotton bedding and fantastic views over the rolling Dorset landscape, with plenty of storage space underneath. Opposite the french doors is a comfy leather sofa and television with the kitchen space on the right. The kitchen is well-equipped with an oven, electric hob, fridge freezer and sink - everything you need to cook up a storm after a days exploring. There is a table and chairs for two, again, with stunning views through the window above. The en-suite is through a door at the end of the hut, and is home to a shower, wash basin and WC.
Outside you are treated to your own spa area, with a large stand-alone bath tub with hand-held shower attachment which is privately situated on a patio; a delightful place to unwind and relax with a glass of wine overlooking the surrounding fields. Bespoke wooden deckchairs surround the firepit, which can also be used as a barbecue for cooking alfresco. There is also a bistro seating area which is great for a morning coffee.
