Fig Tree Shepherd’s Hut

Fig Tree is a timber shepherd's hut built on wheels, positioned in a corner of an orchard garden near Bothenhampton. The single bedroom holds a freestanding double bed; a shower room with cubicle and heated towel rail sits alongside. The open-plan living space contains a small kitchen with two-ring hob and microwave, a dining table, and an armchair—no television. Shutters close over the windows at night. Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are included; heating keeps things warm in winter.

The hut overlooks an organic farm, with views across the hills. A garden surrounds it, furnished with teak loungers for sitting out. The path to the entrance passes seasonal flowers and a stone wall, with fig trees nearby. Parking for one car is provided on the property. One mile away is the beach; the Jurassic Coast and surrounding countryside are within reach for day trips. The setting suits anyone wanting quiet time away from everyday life—writers, couples, or those simply seeking space to rest. No smoking inside the hut.
