About Tokenhill Dorset Shepherd's Huts
This idyllic adult-only site offers bespoke shepherd's hut's nestled in a secluded field on a peaceful working farm in the Piddle Valley, just 15 minutes from Dorchester. The Hut's were built nearby by renowned hut maker, Plankbridge, to the highest standard and the owners have used quality furnishings throughout. Both of the shepherd's hut's feature a king-size bed, electric, an ensuite shower, a kitchen and a wood burning stove, so no need to worry if it's raining or cold, you can hunker down and while away the day in complete warmth and comfort. If you want to get in touch with nature or maybe do some stargazing then your outdoor claw-foot bath tub is the perfect spot. Relax and listen to the owls in complete privacy, or maybe sit around the fire pit with a glass of wine. There are plenty of spectacular walks direct from your doorstep, the Dorset Gap being just one of the must-see places on your list. The County town of Dorchester has many shops, cafes and museums to keep you busy too. If the coast is what you are seeking then just a 35 minute drive away is the Jurassic Coast with Weymouth's sandy beaches and just a little further is Durdle Door, 40 minutes away, with its breathtaking beach. Dogs are not allowed, sorry.

Things to do on site and in the Dorchester area
The huts are a stone's throw away from the beautiful and famous Dorset Gap and many other picturesque public footpaths. The Dorsetshire Gap is a critical, historic track junction, once the hub of central Dorset in southern England and a well-known beauty spot and magnet for ramblers.
There are many excellent hikes and gentle walks through the Piddle Valley's rolling hills. On your way, you can stop by the Lyscome Chapel, a historically listed building that was forgotten for many years.
For an idyllic afternoon out, head to Athelhampton House and Gardens (20 minutes), a stunning manor house with wonderful grounds and gardens. Tour the house and explore all of its hidden secrets!
For a day out by the sea, Weymouth is just a 30 minute drive away, with stunning sandy shores and great attractions on the sea front. The famous Durdle Dor is also just 40 minutes away, known to be one of the UK's best beaches.

- Dorset Teddy Bear Museum (15 minutes)
- Dorset Museum (15 minutes)
- Monkey World - Ape Rescue Centre (25 minutes)
- Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens (35 minutes)
