The Happy Hut, Sopley

The happy hut was such a beautiful romantic place which was just perfect for a relaxing weekend. Me and my wife both loved it from the hut to the hot tub and our lovely little neighbours. Everything was thought of from the arrival gifts to the blankets , slippers and robes . We also visited the Woolpack inn for some lovely home cooked food . We cant recommend the happy hut enough, we will definitely be back for another weekend as soon as we can

We visited the happy hut for my partners 30th birthday weekend away and it's safe to say we absolutely loved it there it was peaceful, clean, cosy and everything you could want for a weekend away, Would definitely recommend to others and would love to return for another weekend away in the future! !

Jusy returned home after spending 6 nights in the happy hut, and yes we had an amazing time we was greeted by Alan the host off which we asked if he could suggest places to visit which he kindly wrote down for us,we visited them all and was not dissapointed we also visited Hythe which i would recommend. The Happy Hut has it all there is nothing that is not missed out fom Preseco, Slippers, Dressing gown but above all the Hot Tub which we went in every night come rain to minus 2 degrees. my wife and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND a visit. Regards Arthur, Mary.

What a find! The Happy Hut was everything and more. We had an incredible three nights just relaxing and felt fully recharged at the end of our stay. Perfect location for doing everything or nothing. We will most certainly be back!

Stayed for a few nights over a weekend with my partner, really lovely place to stay, it was extremely comfortable, cosy and romantic. The hot tub was very welcome with the long days walking around and exploring, the long journey there to find a really nice welcome back including eggs, juice, milk, prosecco and many more was a very very nice touch! The host was attentive and respectful of privacy, overall a lovely little gem with a beautiful pub down the road, a perfect little base to hang your hat after a long day exploring! Would love to come again!

We visited The happy hut at the end of October. It is such a lovely place to stay. Very clean, tidy and warm. With little touches all around the hut and outside. Everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Really appreciated the treats that the owners left for us to use. We visited the pub The Woolpack just down the road, which was friendly and the food was good value. Would definitely go back to The Happy Hut for another stay.

Just returned from a lovely weekend staying at The Happy Hut. ..what a gem of a place ...it has everything you need for a very comfortable stay....even had milk and juice and fresh eggs from the chickens in the garden...chocs and proseco too...such a lovely touch...the hot tub was fab...and just at the bottom of the lane was The Woolpack pub...very nice food ...Will definitely book again...Thank you once again x

Wow what a lovely hut. Exceptional comfort. Everything you need. Nice touch with welcome pack.hot top brilliant. Even dressing gowns and slippers provided 5 star stay. Booked up again

The accomodation was fabulous and perfectly placed for the wedding we attended at Sopley Mill. The welcome pack of chocolates, prosecco, eggs, milk etc was also a lovely surprise, and a dip in the hot tub made for a lovely end to our first evening after a long drive.We would highly reccomend the Hut to anyone wanting a chilled and relaxing break.

I had the most delightful few days escape at the Happy Hut on my own. Felt very safe and secure as the Hut is set in a lovely wooded garden compound, behind a locked gate. The quality of the accommodation is exceptional and every facility was there. Comfy bed, constant hot water, good heating and an amazing shower. All clean and well maintained with lots of thoughtful extras, almost too many to mention. As it was autumn, didn't avail myself of the hot tub, firepit or BBQ but these would be lovely in summertime. The little treats were an added surprise Prosecco, chocs, fresh eggs, orange juice. I found the microwave, 2ring electric hob, toaster were all I needed for cooking and the Woolpack pub is literally walking distance! The location in Sopley gives very easy access to the depths of the New Forest as well as larger towns like Christchurch and Lymington. The hut is accessed by 5 relatively shallow steps I walk with a stick due to arthritis but I managed these quite easily. A lovely stay and I hope I can come again.

We came to the Hut for a few nights to celebrate our marriage. It was serene, clean, comfy, and perfect. It's a great place to stay for a few nights, and was very difficult to leave!

Hi Allan We had a lovely week staying at the Happy Hut. Very cosy and romantic setting. The welcome bits and especially the eggs from the neighbours at Cluckington Palace were delicious. The local pub was amazing with awesome food. We would definitely stay again. Thank you, April and David

Great little place for couples, relaxing and peaceful with everything you need. Prosecco, chocolates and orange juice in welcome pack. You can have fresh eggs from the chickens on the property anytime. Loved the hot tub in the evenings looking up at the stars. Definitely recommend

A beautiful little hut! Lovely little touches such as eggs,milk and chocolates. Extremely comfortable bed, we slept very well! Lovely neighbours chickens who welcomed us but we're not noisy. Amazing shower. Weather didn't allow us to use the hot tub, but looked very inviting, and with gates closed, good privacy. The pub food was awesome with friendly hosts. Great location for local sites, for walks and visiting. Will be back hopefully when weather better. Thanks Alan.

We have stayed in A LOT of shepherds huts but this is definitely our favourite. Immaculate throughout, beautiful surrounding area with lots of coastal places to visit, hot tub maintained daily, chocolates and Prosecco on arrival and fresh eggs from chickens next to the hut! The perfect getaway, thank you.

Lovely, well equiped hut with thoughtful added extras we were not expecting that made everything more special. Thank you so much.

A well needed wonderful stay was had, only wish was that we had more time there. Alan was a great host and very quick to respond to any queries and the little extra touches were a welcome treat.

Absolutely gorgeous little hut, both inside and out. Furnishings inside were beautiful, and the outside was maintained efficiently. Fresh linen and basics like tra, coffee and milk were all provided. The hottub was beautiful and maintained daily. So much to see and do around the area, and the owners provided helpful info sheets for this if you wanted to use them. The chickens were cute, too. 1010 would recommend

This cabin stay was everything we hoped for and more! We booked it for my partner's birthday, and it was absolutely perfect. The space was super clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. The early checkin we requested was kindly arranged, which made the day even smoother and more special. The hot tub was spotless and ready to enjoy, and the outdoor area was a highlightbeautifully lit in the evening with several places to relax and unwind. It created the perfect atmosphere. Little extras like orange juice, milk, and water were such a thoughtful touch too. Every detail was taken care ofwe couldn't have asked for a better getaway. Would 100 recommend and definitely plan to return! Thank You So Much Alan

Ok... Our week at the Happy Hut. First of all, yes we stayed for the full 7 days and there is absolutely no storage for clothes. This meant we lived out of our suitcases. Turns out it was a complete blessing. When you can't be bothered to go rifling through your case to change your outfit you create less washing and we also had no packing on our last day! Win win. The Hut itself is exactly as described. It's adorable. Beautifully appointed and we wanted for nothing. Comfy bed. Great shower. Coffee machine very important every utensil you can think of and all necessary electrical goods. There were some lovely added extras like dressing gowns and blankets too. Cannot fault the hut. The plot was idyllic. You are truly surrounded by what feels like you own personal forest. Fairy lights, fire pit and a BBQ add to the fun. The comfiest garden chairs ever and a wonderful hot tub. What more could you want?? Well if it's a pen full of chickens you are in luck. I mean I'm not a huge fan but they did make me giggle and seemed very pleased to see us when we would come out in the morning or return from a day out.. The Woolpack Inn serves beautiful food and is in walking distance if you want a drink or three. The Happy Hut is an excellent base to explore beautiful Dorset. We were truly spoiled by the weather and made it to Durdle Door which was breathtaking in more ways than one!! My one piece of advice if you choose a stay at The Happy Hut is to go with someone who will appreciate the utter romance on offer. It really is a little bit of paradise. Thank you

We stayed for 3 nights and had an amazing time. The hut was absolutely fabulous with everything you could possibly need. totally a five star experience. looking forward to returning for a longer stay. Big thanks to host Alan who was very helpful.

1010 Oh, what a wonderful stay we had at the Happy Hut! Although sad to leave, we felt totally refreshed and relaxed. We cant fault anything at all. It was exactly what we had hoped for and more. We immediately felt comfortable and the shepherds hut was so cosy with everything we needed and more. Private, romantic and perfectly placed. We loved our neighbours at Cluckingham Palace too! Thank you to Alan for being such a thoughtful host.

Absolutely loved our stay. Lovely hut with everything you need and more. Thank you for the little extras. We cant wait to return

We had a lovely stay at the Happy Hut it was peaceful, very cozy, and the perfect place for a relaxing break. The surrounding countryside is beautiful, and we really enjoyed exploring the area. We'll definitely be coming back for another stay in the future!

The Happy Hut was in a perfect location for us we had a great time exploring the forest and the beaches. The facilities were ok but the outside area was very untidy. The tree was growing over the door into the hut. The grass was dead and there were lots of brambles around the hot tub. Unfortunately it wasnt very pleasant to sit outside. The hut inside was ok but the bathroom was very small. It was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The eggs were lovely but no wooden spoon to cook scrambled eggs with

This little hut was amazing! clean,warm and cosy with everything you could possibly need .The bed was very comfortable there were flowers ,fresh eggs ,Prosecco and a fridge of essentials . The local pub is within walking distance and very good for food .The hot tub was lovely. A great few days away in a lovely area .We have already recommended it to friends and family and looking forward to another visit soon .

We were disappointed hot tub not available on first day

Everything about The Happy Hut was spot on. We couldn't have asked for anything more it was perfect. The trouble is now, The Happy Hut has set a standard I'm not sure other properties can live up too!!

A nice shepherd's hut in a nice quiet village, hot tub was ready on arrival, wood and lighter left for the fire pit. Alan had even left tea & coffee as well as basic amenities. Nearby 0.1 Mile pub had decent food. Plenty of places to visit nearish by.

We had a great time! Beautiful location and great facilities everything was just so lovely, felt very relaxed! Will definitely be back.

Wow what a gem We have had a fantastic relaxing time in a fab location On ... Wow what a gem We have had a fantastic relaxing time in a fab location On arrival the place was warm and cosy lots of extras including fresh eggs, orange juice, milk, chocolates, Prosecco Hot tub was perfect too Will definitely return

What a gem of a place for a weekend away in Dorset. The Happy Hut was excellent, beautiful interior and exterior, with a lovely outside space complete with excellent hot tub and fire pit barbecue area. Sadly the british weather in Feb did not lend itself to the bbq fire pit would be great in warmer weather but we took full advantage of the hot tub! Some lovely welcoming touches from the host in the room, including fresh flowers and a bottle of prosecco! Hut itself was very cosy. Highly recommened and would definitely stay again!

We had a really lovely long weekend stay at the happy hut. Despite the storm outside, the hut was warm, comfy and cosy. Great facilities, it had everything we needed. Thank you to the owners for the welcome basket, and supplies in the fridge. Pub was less than a minute walk from the hut, and lots of other local pubs as well. It was nice to have the recommendation letter from the owner to help us decide where to eat or visit. We would recommend the Happy Hut, and visit again. Thank you

My partner and I had such a wonderful stay at the Happy Hut over new years eve. The hut was extremely well equipped and cosy, with so many thoughtful additions. Alan was a perfect host, accommodating and communicable. Highly recommend we'd love to stay again!

We had a lovely welcome letter with listings of local pubs cafes butchers etc. We also had a bottle of Prosecco, fresh eggs, Lindt chocolates and in the fridge was bottled water, milk and fresh orange juice! Beautiful white super soft dressing gowns were provided and they smelt so fresh. The hot tub was a great bonus. We have nothing to fault about our stay. Clean and very cosy and definitely warm enough! We stayed December the 27th 2024. Nice private setting. The pub was literally a two minute walk! Alan was a great host and we will definitely return without a doubt. Thank you for a lovely stay. Lisa Price and Mathew Baker .

My partner and I had an amazing time. Everything was set up on arrival and were quick to answer any questions we had.

We had an amazing stay at The Happy Hut and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking a cosy getaway in a stunning location. The Hut is incredibly comfortable, spotless, and equipped with everything you could possibly need, with so many thoughtful touches throughout. Plus, the outdoor hot tub was an absolute treat! Alan was a wonderful host, ensuring we felt right at home and well taken care of. We would love to come back again!

Beautiful property. We had a lovely stay here. Everything was just as described in the listing.

What a gem of a place, it may be small but punches above its weight. We had a lovely short break in the Happy Hut, clean and comfortable. After spending days exploring it was great to chill out in the hot tub in the evenings. Prosecco and fresh eggs from the girls next door was a nice touch as well. Thank you for sharing your place!

Alan gave me a call to make sure that we would be catered for on our arrival, this was much appreciated and thoughtful. The Happy Hut was clean, comfortable and simply delightful. Alan had fresh Roses, Milk, water, Fresh Orange Juice, Bottle of Prosecco and Organic Eggs from his chickens!!!! The Hot Tub was a BIG surprise. Loved every moment and was very sad when we had to leave the Happy Hut. Highly Recommended
