Tucked at the end of a peaceful country lane in the charming village of Sopley, The Happy Hut is a delightful shepherd’s hut offering a magical couples’ escape in the heart of Dorset. Just 3.3 miles from the historic town of Christchurch, this romantic hideaway promises a special kind of serenity you’ll never forget.
Step into a thoughtfully designed space that’s small in size but big on comfort. Inside The Happy Hut, you’ll find everything you need for a cosy and luxurious stay. The open-plan layout features a well-equipped kitchenette with a stove, fridge, and essentials for rustling up romantic meals. A quaint dining nook offers the perfect place to share breakfast or a bottle of wine, while the snug sitting area invites you to relax after a day’s adventure.At night, sink into the plush king-size bed, layered with soft linens and pillows, framed by windows that welcome morning light and starry views after dark. A private shower room is tucked neatly away, complete with fresh towels and modern fittings to keep you feeling pampered and refreshed.
The outdoor space at The Happy Hut is just as inviting as its interior. Nestled beside a babbling stream and framed by leafy trees, the private garden is an idyllic spot for lazy mornings and golden-hour evenings. Enjoy breakfast alfresco at the garden table, curl up with a book under the dappled sunlight, or sit beside the firepit as the stars emerge overhead. In the evenings, toast marshmallows, sip wine, and watch the flames dance as the countryside settles into its gentle nighttime rhythm. From this peaceful perch, you can hear birdsong in the morning and nothing but the soft rustle of leaves by night.
From your garden gate, follow the stream to discover the charming 17th-century Woolpack Inn, a local gem serving classic pub fare, real ales, and even a traditional afternoon tea. Stop by the nearby farm shop for fresh local produce or tasty treats to enjoy back at the hut. A short drive takes you into the beautiful riverside town of Christchurch, rich with history and coastal charm. Explore the ruins of Christchurch Castle, marvel at the incredible Priory, or take in panoramic views from St. Catherine’s Hill. For a relaxing day on the water, stroll along the quay or hop on a riverboat along the Stour. Nature lovers will find paradise in the New Forest National Park, where wild ponies roam and ancient woodlands invite long walks, picnics, and peaceful moments among the trees. For a livelier day out, head to Bournemouth to enjoy sandy beaches, beachfront bars, the Oceanarium, and Boscombe Pier.
