The hut is amazing! The garden it's enclosed in is perfect trees all around many different plants/bushes, it's lit at night outside with mini string lights which go off at 10pm. It is so quiet here. Chickens might want your attention in the morning 😀. They really have thought of EVERYTHING!! you could possibly need. Literally just turn up with your clothes only and you're good to go! The hosts were both the nicest you could meet, and the other residents in the village were all really nice! If you like to walk or drive around some amazing sights or just want to hide out from the kids at home for a few days this is your hut!
P.s do not worry about it being cold in the slightest as there is a log burner with everything you need to keep extremely toasty 🥵😁!
Thank you both and will definitely be seeing you and the animals again very soon!
Nothing not to love!

Excellent stay at the Wayside Shepheard Hut.. the hut itself is very pleasant set privately in a secluded corner of a country garden, the set up is a slightly rural feel that I liked. I enjoyed having my breakfast with the chickens...

The Wayside Shepherd’s Hut is set in the garden of a thatched cottage. The setting is gorgeous with fairy lights in the trees, and it’s clear a lot of thought has gone into the property. The host was friendly and welcoming and made sure we were settled in before leaving us to our stay.
The facilities include a small fridge and freezer, 2 burner hob with a grill and oven. Although the hut is very small, it is comfortable. There seems to be everything you need to cook meals if you wish to, but there are places to eat nearby if you prefer.
The bed is comfortable. The settee is snug for 2 people, but there is also a picnic table and chairs outside along with a small bench and sun loungers. Inside there is a foldaway dining table and chairs.
The shower and loo is in a small separate building, and are clean and provide soap, shower gel etc. if you need them.
There is also a small wood burner, but we didn’t need it as the weather was warm.
We didn’t find anything we didn’t like, but if you’re not used to camping / glamping you may find it fairly snug. It is exactly as described - a shepherd’s hut. Don’t expect a large caravan!

Well equipped. Private space in garden. Half bottle of Prosecco much appreciated. Comfortable bed. Good shower. Friendly host. Great location for Beaulieu Motor Museum which was the reason for the stay. Loved the very friendly chickens.
One burner on the hob would not light. Smaller than pictures suggested. For elderly folk who need to go to the loo in the night this was not the best place to stay as the one near the wall had to climb over the other waking up partner in the process.

Really nice hut with a cozy fireplace, had all the amenities. We were welcomed with a bottle of sparkling wine, there was milk in the fridge and breakfast cereal available as well as coffee, so we felt really well taken care of. The hosts were very flexible too. The environment is beautiful, it's the perfect weekend away to cozy up
The bed was a tad uncomfortable for us as it had a big dip in the middle

All just fantastic, the host's were lovely, the chickens were lovely and the dog too :) The location was very quiet with birds in the bushes outside in the morning, local shop and pub within walking distance. Had a fantastic time, thank you very much. Elizabeth

Really cosy hut in a fantastic location right in the middle of the New Forest. Lovely hosts who welcomed us when we arrived. Village shop and pub on the doorstep and great walks. Perfect also for kayaking on the river and biking. We had a lovely stay.

The hosts went above and beyond to solve an initial issue regarding the gas. The hosts even supplied a new electric single hob, kettle and exceeded all expectations!! I wouldn't have to think twice about booking again!

Just loved the quaintness and cosiness alsohow private it was despite being in someone's garden. We had visits from chickens a beautiful dog and cats in the distance. The hut is well kitted out and little touches like flowers processco milk cereals tea coffee all provided meant a lot. The trip to bathroom during night was interesting but facilities good. Extremely comfortable bedThe location is ideal for visiting this area we were here for a planned trip to auto jumble at Bieulieu Estate. Would come again.
No was great

Enjoyed the quiet location, it had everything we needed for a few nights stay.
The setting was ideal to hide away and have some proper relaxation.
Being greeted by the premises security, three crazy chickens was added bonus. We loved the girls greeting us every day.
Forgot to bring slippers the walk to the shower/loo was bit painful without shoes.

The hosts were always busy but always very friendly and helpful. The hut and facilities were very clean and the location was great. Lovely touch with proccecco in the fridge and wild flowers picked and placed in small in vase in kitchen area. There are 3 chickens there that greeted us every morning and whenever we returned to the hut. They loved crushed cornflakes !! We would definitely recommend a visit here. Dawn
