Nearby attractions include Stonehenge, Stourhead, Longleat safari park and the Jurassic coast including Durdle Door and Lulworth cove. The hut, tent and stable block are located in a meadow banked by wildflowers, well isolated from the main house. From there, you can enjoy your breakfasts or sundowners al fresco in total privacy.
