The Shepherd's Hut at Coombe Farm Glamping is only an hour or so from London and within easy reach of Goodwood, Cowdray and the south coast; yet once you're here, you'll feel as if you've stepped through the back of the wardrobe and into the ancient woodland that surrounds, unimpeded views towards the South Downs and barely another soul around. The hut stands alone in the field, so you will exclusively enjoy the tranquility the land has to offer.
The Hut is equipped with fresh linen and towels, made extra cozy and warm with a beautiful flame and clean burning bio ethanol burner which creates a relaxed ambience, providing amazing heat for the chillier season stay.
The wash area is compact with everything you will need for alfresco catering and dining, including a great camp compressor fridge. We also provide equipment to cook on the ample fire pit for an authentic camp experience. We have a revitalizing, hot and spacious shower, all run from our off grid system. We also provide luxury toiletries.
Our loo is composting, extremely clean and freshly set up for every new guest and in keeping with our off grid, low-fi ethos.
Our family farm, Durleigh Marsh Farm is in Rogate, 5 min drive from Rake or about an hours walk through the woodland south from the hut. The popular Tea room offers a great breakfast and lunch menu. Booking is advisable.
Between the nearby traditional market towns of Petersfield and Haslemere you will discover a diverse choice of places to shop, dine and drink.
The site is encompassed by beautiful walks and trails taking you further into the heart of the South Downs.

Wild About Campers is a peaceful retreat amid spectacular hiking country in the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and 25 minutes’ drive from cliff-top treks along the South West Coast Path.
The Jurassic Coast at Lyme Regis is within 25 minutes’ drive, and if you feel a major shopping expedition coming on, the historic cathedral city of Exeter (35 minutes) will see you right. Both Exmoor and Dartmoor national parks are less than an hour’s drive away, while the pretty neighbouring town of Honiton (10 minutes) offers pubs and tearooms as well as antique shops to browse.
But if it’s a rural retreat you’re after, well, this is the place. The camping paddock is surrounded by peaceful farmland and borders the River Otter (look out for the resident beavers, otters and kingfishers, which occasionally appear), so you can fall asleep lulled by the burble of the river along with the distant hoot of barn owls – and wake up fresh in the morning to the sound of birdsong.
A popular family-run pub is five minutes’ stroll from the campsite, and you can pick up emergency supplies from a well-stocked village shop run by volunteers (five minutes’ drive).

3 nights at Little Fleece at Folly Farm
We absolutely loved our stay at Jane’s shepherd’s hut. it was the perfect off-grid escape from our busy lives. The hot tub and outdoor pizza oven were definite highlights and made the trip feel extra special.
Jane and her husband were incredibly welcoming, accommodating, and quick to respond whenever we had a question or needed anything. The hut is also ideally located; peaceful and secluded, yet close enough for lovely walks/run and a nearby pub for a quick pint.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing countryside getaway.

We had the most wonderful stay at this little countryside getaway! From the moment we arrived, Jane was absolutely incredible - so kind, welcoming, and full of helpful information about the lodge and surrounding area. She’d thought of everything, leaving clear instructions for how everything worked, which made our stay effortless and relaxing.
The thoughtful touches really made it special - from the freshly baked bread to the delicious shortbread cookies, everything felt homely and made with love. The setting itself was pure peace and quiet, surrounded by nothing but cows, trees, and the soft sounds of nature. It was the perfect place to switch off, breathe deeply, and just enjoy the calm of the countryside.
We honestly didn’t want to leave - a hidden gem that we’d return to in a heartbeat!

We had the best time in the Shepherd's Huts - it's such a magical place to stay, with beautiful views over the fields and even it's own little woodland walk. We spent two nights just us and our son, then my cousins pitched a tent on the third night. It was so peaceful to be surrounded by nature and have the place to ourselves. The huts were beautiful and cosy and the beds were comfy too. There was everything we needed to have a camping experience that felt both wild yet easy and with all that we needed. Thanks Abbey Home Farm!

Where to go
About
Jurassic Coast
Weymouth lies at the heart of the UNESCO-listed Jurassic Coast, where jagged sea cliffs tumble down to sandy beaches and rocky coves. Head east to marvel at the Durdle Door, Dorset’s most iconic landmark, or continue past Chesil Beach to see the golden cliffs of the West Bay or hunt for fossils at Charmouth beach. Hikers will be in their element here, and there is plenty of choice for camping along the coast.
Isle of Purbeck
Bordered by steep limestone sea cliffs, the peninsula known as the Isle of Purbeck curls out around Poole Harbour. This is the dramatic finale of the Jurassic Coast and the South West Coast Path, and highlights include the white cliffs of Old Harry’s Rocks and rock pools of Kimmeridge Bay. If you prefer water sports to coastal hikes, the sheltered waters of Poole Harbour are ideal for kayaking, jet skiing, and stand-up paddleboarding.
East Devon
The Jurassic Coast continues west into East Devon, where coastal hikes and fossil hunting are the main activities. Inland, the sloping farmlands and forested valleys of the East Devon and Blackdown Hills AONBs provide endless options for hikes, bike rides, and horseback rides. Come in spring and summer to admire the wildflowers, discover Iron Age ruins hidden in the hills, or stop at a country pub for a traditional Devonshire cream tea.
When to go
Summer is peak season in Weymouth, and the beaches get busy in July and August. Book campsites well in advance if you plan to visit at this time. The best weather for camping and outdoor activities is from April through October. Don’t be put off by the idea of a winter visit—coastal views can be even more dramatic when the winds pick up, and although it can get chilly, the weather rarely hits extremes.
Know before you go
- Weymouth has a few camping and outdoors stores where you can pick up supplies for your camping trip.
- Weymouth has public transport links to many of the surrounding towns and attractions, but it is handy to have your own transport, especially if staying at rural campsites.
- Most campsites require advance booking, and many ask for the full payment in advance. Be sure to check opening dates, as many campsites close in the winter months.
- Wild camping is illegal throughout Dorset.
- Camp near the coast and you could easily spend your weekend, week, or whole summer splashing around. The main esplanade-backed beach at Weymouth is sandy with safe shallows for swimming.
