Stargazer Copse Gate is a romantic glamping shepherd's hut in Dorset, just 2. 5 miles from Charmouth. This hut offers its own hedged space with countryside views guaranteed to impress. With the farmhouse B&B just 100 metres away, it's the kind of place where sheep are among your neighbours - a good match if your human ones drive you nuts.
Set on a working farm with rolling hills in every direction, this rural escape puts you within striking distance of the Jurassic Coast. Fossil hunting at Charmouth beach is just 3 miles away. Explore the South West Coast Path or climb Golden Cap for views that'll make your heart skip.
The shepherd's hut packs impressive amenities into its cosy space. There's one double bedroom with a comfy bed, bathroom, and a kitchen area with combination microwave oven, electric hob and fridge with ice compartment, plus a wood burner for those chilly evenings. The enclosed garden offers a good sunset-watching spot before you slip into the hot tub with a glass of prosecco fizzy.
Visit Golden Cap (4 miles, 10-minute drive) for spectacular coastal views, hunt for 180-million-year-old fossils at Charmouth Beach (3 miles, 7 minutes), explore historic Lyme Regis (4 miles, 12 minutes), or climb Colmers Hill near Symondsbury (5 miles, 15 minutes) for panoramic vistas.
Stargazer Copse Gate delivers a good couples' escape, with the farmhouse and its farm shop close at hand - nothing beats sizzling local bacon after a night stargazing from your hot tub, with Golden Cap's ridgeline rising beyond the hedges.
