Paddock View at the Barns

Paddock View at the Barns - Dog Friendly Shepherds Hut in Alderholt, Dorset

Paddock View Shepherd's Hut is set within the grounds of our natural small holding, a unique and beautiful semi-rural location near Alderholt, Dorset where we grow fresh vegetables.  It is the perfect place to escape into nature, a peaceful retreat where you can sit on the veranda and watch the sun go down enjoying your favourite tipple.

Your well-behaved dog and/or horse are welcome to enjoy the experience with you.  There is a paddock available for your horse to graze and plenty of riding from the field.

The barns are right on the border with Hampshire and near the New Forest, ideal for boxing out for probably the best open riding spaces in the UK.

Meet Amos the ram, Jet the horse as well as Syke the dog, a Husky with stunning blue eyes. You could also see a couple of geese wandering around with sheep and goats nearby. Kitty cat lives in the barns and often stops by to say hello.

Available for short breaks, weekly retreats or longer stays.

Paddock View is warm and cosy in the winter, cool and airy in the summer with the luxury of a built-in shower room. Its porch area provides a great place to relax in the summer heat.
