The Novelist is suitable for two guests making it a perfect place for couples that love a few days away glamping.
The owners of the Dorset Forest Glamping Site wanted to make a stand-out site from others by offering three uniquely decorated shepherd huts.
The Novelist is the largest and stands out with the beautiful bath. The hosts also wanted to fill them with good quality furnishings and antiques, giving a touch of luxury to the accommodation.
Although there are three huts, this doesn’t stop the place from being secluded as the huts are kept away from each other, giving guests privacy and space to relax.
The living area is decorated in a luxurious and welcoming style, making guests feel at home.
The sofa has a breathtaking view of the surrounding county and valleys.
Don’t worry though, if you like to have your home comforts, a TV is available and wifi.

The open plan living gives plenty of opportunity to socailise whilst cooking.
Lots of light comes in, making the hut a bright and airy space.
The bedroom is beautifully painted with a gorgeous mural on the wall; a real wow factor is the panoramic skylight.
Guests can lie back and enjoy the views of the sky, a million twinkling stars sparkling just for you and your partner, whilst sitting comfortably in bed.

Outside, guests can enjoy the large decking area, with sunloungers, outdoor dining areas, a fire pit and a hot tub.
You can float around in the tub whilst being outside, enclosed in your own country haven, listening to nothing but the sounds of nature and bird song.
