Oak Shepherds Hut is located in the middle of private woodland close to Lyme Regis and Charmouth, just inland from the World Famous Jurassic Coast. Guests have total privacy and stunning countryside views from Oak Hut. Oak is nicely furnished and has a woodburner for cooler evenings (along with electric heating). If you are looking for accommodation that is a little out of the ordinary, Oak will not disappoint.
John is a recently retired from the IT industry and has lived in Lyme Regis for most of his life. He loves the outdoors and his Oak Hut is placed so that visitors get to see the best of West Dorset and East Devon. He is passionate about ensuring his guests get a little more than they expect when staying at his rural but accessible Shepherds Hut.
Oak Hut is situated on 25 acres of private woodland with a stunning little stream. Lyme Regis and Charmouth are both short drives away. The area is packed with museums, interesting little shops, gardens, boat trips, walks, etc. The World Famous Jurassic Coast in on your doorstep and the area is of outstanding natural beauty.
