Amazing property with lots of storage and roomy inside. Worth a visit for the gorgeous views and fantastic breakfast alone. Hosts are warm and welcoming while the Shepherd's hut boasts privacy and comfort. Hot tub is great and property is well set up including outdoor seating and lighting. Would definitely recommend and we will return. We even were able to bring home some fantastic farm produce to enjoy.
Debbie
Beautiful shepherds hut set in a very scenic place. Beautifully clean and had everything we needed. Sitting in the hot tub with beautiful scenery all round was perfect. The owners are a very hospitable and helpful couple and the highlight was sitting at the farmhouse table eating a smashing breakfast and chatting with them. Would totally recommend to all friends and family.

The cottage was amazing so big the water was so hot and the shower was amazing couldn't doubt this place only the hot tub had a bit of dirt in it but that's it
Andie
Stargazer is a perfect slice of West Country Heaven!! Off the well beaten track with fabulous views of the surrounding countryside, fully private (other than the sheep!), sturdily, but beautifully built, & tastefully furnished, including everything for a relaxing & peaceful stay (sole use of the hot-tub, helped!!). Farmhouse cooked breakfast includ ed, each day, supplied & prepared by your wonderful hosts (Charlie & Lucy) who obviously love what they do. Nothing could have been better, for us!

Dagmara
Perfect holiday! Location, hut, breakfast, the owners, really everything was amazing. 100% recommend.
Molly
Absolutely beautiful location. I thought it would be a scam because I've never been on this website before but the experience me and partner had was phenomenal. If you enjoy being on a farm with farm animals, long walks and a 20 minute drive to the beach then I would recommend going!
James
An incredible property, so clean and tidy. The owners are so friendly and such incredible hosts. They seem to have spotted all the little bits you might want and covered it. Will definitely be going back and highly recommend this to all. Full farmhouse English breakfast again cooked by the owners so attentive to guests even though they are both wor king farmers and it was a busy time even joined us for breakfast on our last morning such lovely people. Cant wait for the next time.
Thomas
Our stay at Copse Gate Farm was fantastic. Our hosts could not have been more welcoming and were there to help us with anything we needed. The farm was beautiful as was the hut. Very cosy with stunning surrounding views. If you are looking to get away from it all then this venue is perfect. Strongly recommend.
Martin
We stayed in the amazing Shepherd's Hut. It is much bigger than the standard hut, with really great amenities. The location is amazing with great views across the farm and the hot tub was lovely to relax in after a long hike. Thank you so much for Charlie and Lucy for their wonderful hospitality and fantastic breakfasts. They really made our stay s pecial.
Laurel
The hosts were excellent, helpful and friendly. They helped with anything we needed and the breakfast they cooked was brilliant. Located on a lovely farm with a hot tub for stargazing, it is 15 minutes from Bridport and Lyme Regis making exploring easy and quick with some really nice restaurant options. There are also great facilities in the hut fo r cooking your own food. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend to anybody looking for a comfortable stay in Dorset.
