Weymouth and Portland District: soggiorni in minicase

This is our second stay here and we enjoyed the most glorious weather which was such a bonus - it also meant we could explore other elements the property has to offer including BBQ and sunshade - the hut is well designed and has just the right amount of everything you could need for a short stay - if it’s available then book it !

It is hard to describe the beauty of this place. From the step out onto the beach which is at the quieter end of Lyme Regis but still very close to all the action to the Sky window to watch the stars. It has everything you could want in a small space which makes it feel cozy but also homely. This is my third time and I am someone who doesn’t like to visit the same place twice. I would recommend you book this place – you won’t be disappointed!

We had the most idyllic stay at the Shepherds hut. Lots of lovely touches like fresh flowers and homemade cookies. Good sized super comfy bed. Generous garden with hammocks and lots of seating and fabulous wood fired hot tub. BBQ and fire pit completed the ultimate outdoor private space. Very peaceful and green, lots of birdsong and visiting robins. Great value for such a wonderful experience. We would definitely return here and recommend.

We had a lovely, cosy stay in this little hut. It was a great adventure for our youngest son. We enjoyed getting snug with the log burner and having our breakfast in the sun. Carolyn was really friendly and welcoming.

On arrival at Lytchett Manor we were greeted by friendly staff, we were given very clear instructions as to where our accommodation was. On first impressions we were like “wow”, very clean, very well maintained, just amazing & it didn’t disappoint for the couple of days we were there, the shower/toilet blocks were absolutely spotless and very well lit at night, sinks to do your pots & pans, facilities for laundry cleaning, what more can I say, except the added bonus was NO noisy arcades or club house!!! We will definitely be going back again and staying for longer, keep up the excellent work Lytchett Manor 👌

Spent a few much needed days away walking the coast. This was a great little place to come back to at the end of each day and relax. Eric provided plenty of local recommendations of things to do and places to eat. Fantastic view along the beach made even better by the sunshine I was blessed with during my stay.

Our one night stay in the treehouse was fabulous… Set in a private spot with great views the treehouse provided surprisingly spacious accommodation. The bed is comfortable, the kitchen area is functional with sink, toaster, hob, fridge and utensils. The separate private toilet/shower is literally a few steps from the main treehouse, it is set up as a shower wet room with WC, very clean and modern. The outdoor space is great with table and chairs and a fire pit that is great for bbq cooking and also supplying heat sitting out on a chilly evening, we loved listening to the abundant bird song whilst watching deer, peacocks/hens and the odd rabbit while the sausages sizzled over the embers. At night the whole area is subtly illuminated by atmospheric lighting for pathways and coloured lighting into trees to create a wonderful after dark strolling experience… We highly recommend the treehouse and the other quirky accommodations we saw at Moonacres, and will stay again.

Nice and cozy, as described and in the photos. Very quiet and relaxing. Not far from the seaside. Would recommend

We enjoyed and appreciated the flexibility of the accommodation which suited our needs for our visit to the area.

The Cabin is a perfect location for those looking for a comfortable, out of the way location. The facilities provided are excellent and the Cabin is exactly as described.

Axe Valley View is a wonderful cabin in a picturesque and peaceful location - we were looking for somewhere to relax and we found it!! The cabin is equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay Alison, our host, was very welcoming and gave us good suggestions about local places to visit, and she recommended 2 excellent restaurants (the Tytherington Arms and the Anchor Inn at Seatown - both worth a visit)

We can't thank William and especially Arianna enough, they went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. The location and the cabin are absolutely amazing. We had the best time and will definitely revisit in the future. Thank you.

We loved the Woodpecker Cabin so beautiful and such a peaceful location , just us the birds and the squirrels and the deer of course. The Cabin was beautifully thought out everything we needed for a weekend away , everything had been thought of . The lake was an added bonus great place for a pic nic . we also feed the deers with sarah which you don't get to do every day . Chester and Sarah were great hosts so very friendly and great at communication. we will definitely be returning in the future and will tell all our friends to do the same . Thank you both so much.

Firstly, we will definatley be back in the future! We decided to stay due to its proximity to Longleat but also the coast. The pod did not disapoint, it was very clean and had everything we needed. The weather was lovely which meant the far reaching views were beautiful. Such a lovely peaceful place to stay

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

Lovely stay, loved the cabin and its own private garden was perfect for our dogs.

What an amazing stay, scenic location , great attention to detail in the shepherds huts with everything you require for a stay. The whole experience exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be back again. Peter the host went above and beyond to ensure our stay was one to remember .. A true gem in the rolling hills or Somerset.

Lovely tiny home with everything one (or two) may need. Exceptional location for Portland excursions/climbing and wonderful place all around. Will definitely come back!

Was a wonderful little stay. Just what me and my partner needed a nice escape from London and switch off for a couple days! Loved sitting on the decking just relaxing and admiring the nature around us! We drove to West Bay which was 20mins and walked up to the Golden Cap and had a beautiful bit of lunch there in a place called Rise which I would highly recommend. Thanks again Sharon.

My partner and I enjoyed a splendid two-night stay at the Hideaway. The property was impeccably clean, and the hot tub was exceptional. We appreciated the tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. Annie provided outstanding service and ensured a warm welcome. We look forward to returning.

This Airbnb is the perfect English countryside getaway for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in nature and also be as cozy as humanly possible. Karen and Simon were extremely helpful upon check-in showing us exactly how everything works. from the wood-fired hot tub to the fire pit, they really have thought of everything you would want for a trip like this. it's was also out first time in this part of the country, the whole surrounding area is gorgeous. Myself and Sophie would highly recommend. Thanks Karen & Simon

My partner and I had a fantastic stay in Sheena’s shepherd’s hut. We arrived quite late in the evening but Sheena was super communicative and accommodating and gave very helpful instructions for finding the correct entrance to the property, which were a life saver looking in the dark! The hut is secluded far in the back of the garden with its own driveway entrance so still feels very private. It’s fitted out adorably with everything you could need and we enjoyed using the cosy log burner as well as two spare electric heaters when we wanted to warm up quickly. It was also generously supplied with tea/coffee/milk, biscuits and some kindling for the log burner. The property is a handy 20-30 mins from most tourist locations around Dorset so it was a great base for us to visit Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, Seatown/Golden Cap, Weymouth, and even Monkey World :)

Kath was a responsive and fabulous host and the hut was everything we were hoping for. Would recommend the lamb sausages!

A lovely time was had over the bank holiday weekend at The Nest. The hut was exactly as described and included everything that we needed as well as being comfortable and cosy. Both pubs within the area were friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed a lovely local walk along the old railway line. We had a delicious roast lunch at the Spyway Inn which is just a short 10 minute drive from the hut with a lovely pub garden overlooking the Dorset countryside. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt very welcomed by our hosts. The hot tub was a particular highlight and the perfect way to relax and unwind at the end of the day. Would definitely recommend staying here and hope to return in the future!
