My Granddaughter and I had a great time at the Dorset Alpaca Shepherds Hut, it’s amazing being able to see and get so close to the Alpacas… especially Dandy! The location is very tranquil and beautiful, we were lucky enough to see deers and bats during the evening too. Our hosts were very welcoming and lovely . The information binder is excellent, full of places to walk and visit. Would definitely love to go back!

Lovely quiet idyll in beautiful countryside; although close to amenities of the county town still felt private enough to feel lost in the Country. Thanks to our hosts and to Dandy the Alpaca who greeted us every morning

We had a very calm and relaxing stay at the Alpaca hut. Our hosts were extremely helpful and friendly. There was a BBQ which we used and the hut itself was very comfortable and cosy. It was great sitting out on the decking and watching the Alpacas in the field!
