The Hide With Private Wood Fired Hot Tub. A truly romantic getaway on a Vineyard

Located in a quiet corner of the vineyard 'The Hide' is a truly romantic get-away

Surrounded by woodland and farmland with a vineyard in front of you - a private space perfect for 2 adults with a newly added Wood Fired Hot Tub in a shelter facing west for those evening sunsets

This is a unique and rare opportunity to stay on an organic & Bio Dynamic Vineyard in England in a Shepherd's Hut & Cabin, located in an AONB on Dorset's Jurassic Coast

You have your own area on the vineyard, where you can relax and enjoy your outside space with a fire pit under a canopy of trees tucked away in the best corner of the vineyard, with beautiful views out across the valley and to the sea.

Not long released having gone through a full refurbishment with everything updated, improved and finished to a lovely high standard - aesthetics and comfort in mind - it's up market glamping!

We will leave you a complimentary bottle of our sparkling wine as a gift for your stay :)

- The Wood Fired Hot Tub and shelter with decking and seating - perfect for evenings under the stars - facing west for those sunsets. A beautiful cedar clad two person hot tub which will be cleaned, filled with fresh water ready for your arrival along with a crate of wood with everything you need to light your very own wood fired hot tub - available all year round. There is an extra charge of £50 for this facility

- The Shepherd's Hut - has a lovely atmosphere and is warm and comfortable decorated in neutral colours it feels like a serene space as soon as you walk in. The hut is fitted with mains lighting and sockets, heated by a little wood-burner to make your evenings cosy and romantic. There are plenty of candles in the room if electric lamps are not wanted. The bed is a very comfortable and has a memory foam mattress. The bed linen is a lovely white cotton with soft touch quilt and pillows and a couple of cosy, handy throws for those colder evenings. A lavender sleep spray and room diffuser are there for use during your stay

- The Cabin - has a great deck area for sitting out and enjoying the beautiful views and evening sunsets. The double doors of the cabin open out on to the deck. Inside the cabin is a kitchen and indoor seating area. The kitchen is well equipped with enamelware, all the utensils, pots and pans, cutlery etc. A great little fridge, a two ring electric hob with a whistling kettle, toaster and a sink with hot water. There is a 2 seater leather sofa in front of the wood-burner - perfect for a cosy night in in front of the fire. The wood burner has a small bread oven which is great for a slow cook meal. There are electric lights and lamps, candle holders, room spray and diffuser, books and walking maps and games compendium

- The Shower Room - There's a separate warm and cosy shower room tucked on the back of the cabin which has an electric shower, basin with hot and cold water, toilet, shelving, wooden seat and a great heated towel rail, shower wash, hand wash and hand cream, room diffuser and room spray

- Fire Pit - Outside the Shepherd's Hut is the Fire-Pit with a hand forged cooking tripod and grill. Wood is provided for this together with a set of BBQ tools and skillet pans for a great cook out. There are a couple of large tree trunks for seating and if you prefer to cook on gas there is a gas BBQ on the decking of the hot tub

The Hide has an 'off grid' feel as there are no TV's, radios, microwaves or WIFI
A great way to live simply for a few days - of course with a sprinkle of luxuries!

There is good 4G from across the valley

Little Waddon Vineyard has a no pet or children policy

We are a working vineyard set amongst neighbouring farmland.

You'll be staying on Little Waddon Vineyard which is a boutique little vineyard sitting on a gentle south facing slope, with views of the sea beyond Chesil beach. This is the Jurassic Coast in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It's located in the same valley as Abbotsbury Sub-Tropical Gardens so benefits from this unique micro climate. On a lovely summer's day it could easily be the South of France! Little Waddon Vineyard has a beautifully wild quality about it, surrounded by native tree species and abundant wildlife.
Watch the pheasants feeding on the land and slowly going up to roost in the evening, the air bat display at The Hide at dusk, the woodpeckers swooping through the vines, the amazing swallows feeding off the insects above the vines in the summer and our resident owl calling in the evenings all year round!
This fantastic growing habitat (terroir) is a loam soil on Kimmerage clay over chalk, which provides a wonderful environment for the vines to thrive. In short it’s perfectly suited for growing organic grapes with Bio Dynamic principles and practices x

Stunning
Amazing vineyard views, the hide is done out beautifully with all the pots and pans you need for indoor or outdoor hob or bbq cooking so you need to bring nothing. Wood burners in each room and a fire pit outside for cooking/ marshmallow toasting makes it so cozy! Hot tub is so much fun to heat with the wood burner and so relaxing to look over the vineyard sat with a glass of vino. Completely isolated and so peaceful. hosts are so friendly and helpful. We booked the vineyard tour and cheese and wine tasting whilst there and it was gorgeous, so much food! 10/10 would recommend for a chilled out getaway. Within driving distance to so many beautiful places. Honestly think this is the best glamping style accommodation we’ve ever stayed in, feels so luxury with little touches like dressing gowns and lovely smellies! Couldn’t have been better, thanks guys x

The Perfect Honeymoon Stay
The Hide is one of the most picturesque, private and intimate locations I have ever seen. Karen & Simon’s attention to detail is clear throughout the hide from their modern yet charming decor to their wonderful customer service. They ensured our stay was perfect and nothing was too much trouble for them. We also had the opportunity to go on their wine tour. Where they again, went above and beyond to make our honeymoon extra special with little personal touches. Thank you Karen and Simon for making our time at The Hide so special for us. You both truly deserve every success and happiness. We can’t wait to stay with you again! Kind regards, Miles & Becky

Wonderfully relaxing
Beautiful hide away for a peaceful and relaxing break away with my husband. Being back to basics but with a chec feel was perfect. Everything was beautifully presented and enabled us to have a romatic break with true quality time together. Would definitely recommend using the hot tub for peaceful evenings and the fire pit for rustic, tasty meals. The hosts were happy to help when asked but otherwise left us to enjoy the escapism. Would certainly recommend to anyone looking for an escape from the everday stresses of life or for a romatic break away.

Wonderful Weekend
Karen was a very helpful hostess from the point of booking well before our visit, with lots of local info to help us plan our stay. On arrival we were given a quick tour of the area with all of the info needed to get the hottub up and running. The location is wonderful, one of the most private places we have ever stayed (in England). The bed comfortable, the bathroom was the nicest we've had on a glamping trip, the hottub easy to use even though wood fueled, and the living area and kitchenette tidy and functional. Thank you for a truely great weekend away and all of your help.

An amazing stay in a charming area
The property is charming and has beautiful scenery to enjoy a coffee in the morning, or a glass of wine at night. The drive to the beach is only 15 minutes away with some beautiful walks nearby with parking available, also not far from the property. The management of the property was fantastic, clean and cosy, with the hosts available to help at any time we needed them and were very friendly. We would also recommend the wine tour and tasting around the vineyard. We can't wait to come visit again!

We had a lovely stay at the Hide. Karen and Simon were wonderful hosts and really took time to show us around and get to know the place. We loved how private and secluded it felt.

Our second stay at The Hide and it was PERFECT❤️
This was our second stay at The Hide and it was absolutely amazing. Karen and Simon are wonderful hosts and made our stay perfect. The Hide has wonderful facilities and is beautifully clean. We really enjoyed the addition of the wood-fired private hot tub, sitting in this in the evening watching the sunset over the vineyard was just perfect. The location of the Hide is very peaceful and you really feel relaxed and get to enjoy the scenery and wildlife. We were very lucky with the weather so went to various beaches during our stay such as Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove which are only a 30/40 minute drive away and are well worth the visit. Thank you Karen and Simon - we already can’t wait to plan our next visit to The Hide next year!

Great little hidden gem
Really great experience, unfortunately the weather was rubbish during our stay which had a bit of a negative impact on out visit - but this takes nothing away from the hide, it's in a wonderful location, it's kitted out with all you would need and Karen was a fantastic host, happy to help with anything you needed. We would like to visit during the spring/autumn as we feel it would be an entirely different experience - and we could properly enjoy the beautiful vineyard too. Our only negative is that staying during the winter when it's dull and dark pretty much always - some more lighting around the huts would have been useful. THE HOT TUB !! - you MUST make use of the amazing wood fired hot tub, set in a little section of woodland just a minutes walk down through the vineyard from the hide. This was really a great experience and truly peaceful and relaxing.

Perfect mini-moon spot!
We booked the hide as a mini-moon starting the day after our wedding and it was the perfect spot for this. The campfires, sunset over the vineyard, cosy wood burning stoves and hot tub are so romantic and the perfect way for us to relax post-wedding. The surrounding areas are also beautiful; we walked down into the village for brunch, went to the local pub for dinner, explored the Jurassic coast. The facilities were fantastic: Karen and Simon have really thought of everything and sent us lots of suggestions of places to go! We also, unfortunately, had to cut our trip short after contracting Covid at our wedding but Karen and Simon were very understanding and sympathetic which was greatly appreciated.

Romantic Hidden Gem!!
Wow, where to start. Firstly, by saying how delightful and what perfect hosts Karen and Simon were. So friendly, nothing was too much trouble and they had an abundance of local knowledge which certainly helped in booking my partners 50th birthday celebration meal. Moving onto the location which was gorgeous and so romantic and true to the photos online. The views overlooking the vineyard were breath-taking and all viewed from our cosy log cabin warmed by our log-burner. The local area is steeped in history, with beautiful coastline, charming oldie-worldie villages and the people so friendly. The hide facilities are spotless, comfortable and every attention to detail has been thought about. The outside hot-tub was an amazing experience and a absolute must. Night time in our shepherds hut was surprisingly comfortable and cosy with luxurious bed linen, towels, toiletries etc. It was in short a mini adventure for us which bettered many 5 star hotels where all you really see is inside your bedroom. In summary, we came away from the hide happy, relaxed and with an amazing sense of well-being. Oh, not to mention a bottle of their wonderful organic wine. Every effort was made to make the facilities as eco-friendly as possible, so even our conscious was spared. Not so when we fly abroad. "The Hide" should be renamed to "Hidden Gem" because that was exactly what it was. An absolute delight and we feel privileged to have experienced it. A big "THANK YOU" to Karen and Simon for making our stay truly memorable. We've promised ourselves to experience the delights again in summer where we feel it'll be a different experience in a different season. If you're lucky enough to experience it then you'll need a torch, slip on/off garden shoes, dressing gowns for walking down too the hot tub. All the other ingredients to make it comfortable and memorable are all in place. We would highly recommend this mini break and wish Karen and Simon all the best for the future.
