Willow's Nest

We couldn't believe the quality of the fittings and the workmanship in the hut. It had marble tops and other quality fittings. It is small but very well designed. The bed is very comfortable and cosy. The shower is great and they've packed a dining table and a sofa into it. You can watch the TV from the sofa or in bed (it swivels). The cooking facilities are basic.

I think the description missed that there's free WiFi available.

Small nit picks - the shelf in the bedroom could be a bit bigger to get a big drinking glass. There's no instructions on how to turn on the strings of lights - though I figured it out in the end. There's a mystery switch above the fridge - don't know what that did - it didn't turn on the fridge! Most places come with a book with instructions.

Lots of places to stash things - under the bed, under the bench seats etc.

Great location. We saw deer and those smaller bambi things! (Sorry - I'm a townie). The walk from the car is very short. If you have an EV, there's a charging point behind the BP garage about 5 mins walk away. It's slow but you can just leave it there for a while (gate closes at 8pm and opens at 7am for the charger).

Loved this hut - it had everything in it

Immaculate hut, perfectly designed with all you need for cosy stay. Very comfy bed, great shower, nice kitchenette.

Willows nest was a perfect hideaway while visiting Swanage for the weekend to meet friends to dive with Swanage Boat Charters. Very comfortable, clean and had everything I needed. Such a sweet place.

Lovely, very clean shepherds hut in rural location

Thank you for providing an idyllic , peaceful location for our stay. The hut itself was perfect for our needs & the location halfway between Corfe Castle & Swanage couldnt have been better. Waking up to deer & green woodpeckers was the icing on the cake..
My wife & I visit Arne RSPB at leadt once a year & are delighted to have found your Shepherd Huts, we will definately return if they are available on our next trip.
