  Beautiful shepherds hut in a quiet location, owners very friendly and knowledgeable of the location area and beautiful walks and nice local pub if you are wanting to venture out and about highly recommended for a chilled out off grid break to recharge

• "A lovely stay at Keets, beautiful quiet location 10 mins drive to the coast."

  It is off grid, so you need to be prepared for this. However, owners are local & very friendly and will go through everything on arrival. If you enjoy the countryside and rustic surroundings, this is a perfect break.

• "The weather wasn't great, but it gave us a perfect excuse to spend some time enjoying the cosy shepherd's hut (the epitome of the Danish concept of hygge) and particularly its log-burning stove."

  Between the showers, we enjoyed some lovely walks, including a couple to different beaches from the door of the hut itself. Further afield, we explored Weymouth, Portland Bill and visited Hardy's Cottage. There's a lot we didn't manage to do, so fully intend to return.

• "The Keets is a cute abode on a piece of land where the owner gardens organically, but doesn't live there."

  It looks very idyllic and you can use the whole garden to sit there. Even when it rains, you can sit in a greenhouse and drink your wine. The hospitable owner received us very kindly and can tell us a lot about walks in the beautiful surroundings. The living quarters are real camping and a bit spartan. ;-) The electricity is generated by two solar panels, but if the sun is not shining, you may have to take a cold shower. So use electricity sparingly! The bed sleeps fine. And the hot tub is fantastic. We used it a number of times, although it takes two and a half hours before the water is up to temperature! :-) In short, the stay is a bit primitive, but if you like that, you have an original and unique stay in The Keets of Middle Acre!

• "Keets was a beautiful stay in a lovely setting."

  The hut was well equipped and there were some lovely touches such as marshmallows and cookies on arrival. The hot tub was perfect once we worked out how to not over heat it! The outside space is lovely and relaxed with the sounds of the ducks providing a quite nice background noise. Roger was so accommodating and only too happy to help us which was appreciated.

• "Just returned from Keets."

  What a amazing experience, have to be honest wasn't sure what to expect once we realised it was off grid, but what a truly memorable time. Roger and Michelle perfect host there to meet us on arrival and explain running of the place to us, and it was great to just walk to orchard and collect fresh produce as and when you needed it. What a little cutie sweet pea is, always ready for a little chat, when we were around. Would definitely recommend it and do it again. John and April Beeley

  The hut had everything we could have wanted and more, local home grown fruit and vegetables and hosts which couldn’t do enough for us, telling us about the local area and even driving us to places. The beach and pub were in beautiful walking distance with lovely views. We will definitely be back!!

  Michelle and Roger are fantastic hosts and really make you feel at home with a warm friendly welcome. The shepherd's Hut is well appointed with everything you need and is so cosy and comfortable. There is everything you need for outdoors, hammocks, loungers, bbq/smoker and a great hot tub. Do check out the rest of the place too, there are many seating areas and a wooden hut/sunroof kitted out with comfortable seating, complimentary drinks, books, suggestions for things to see and do in the area. All in all, 10 out of 10, will definitely go again. Thank you Michelle and Roger.

• "We had an amazing few days away in the solitude of the Dorset countryside."

  Michelle & Roger furnished the property spectacularly with everything you could need, and we even had an eye-opening tour of some of the local area, including cows! It's a great location, far enough away from the main roads to feel secluded, yet close enough to Weymouth & Dorchester for any shops or supplies. We will seriously be considering returning next year!

  Michelle and Roger (and Bee!) are the friendliest hosts. Such a lovely quiet spot. You're not overlooked by anyone but it's close enough to the real world that you can walk to the pub. Hot tub under the moonlight is a must :) Cannot fault this place - from the comfiest bed in the world to the marshmallows for toasting - this is the perfect getaway to escape a hectic life! We didn't want to leave!

  The hut is beautifully compact. We particularly enjoyed the wood burning stove and hot tub. The owners were incredibly nice & helpful and Bee was a delight.

• "This was such a lovely shepherds hut, we really enjoyed our stay."

  We had a lovely welcome when we arrived, Michelle and Roger both gave us all the info we needed and were really helpful. The hut is incredibly well equipped, as well as having ample private outdoor space and set in lovely grounds. We were very lucky with the weather and were able to use the BBQ to cook in the evenings, but had we not been, the kitchen has a gas ring and plenty of pans that it wouldn't have been a problem to rustle up something easily. The fact that Keets is 'off grid' was great, no TV or wifi, so we could really switch off. The wood burner kept us toasty in the evening and the hot tub was a delight after a long day of walking along the SW Coast Path. Keets is really well situated for access to the coast path so you don't have to drive anywhere and only a short walk to the local pub. I'd definitely recommend staying. Amazing hosts and perfect accommodation, can't wait to plan another trip soon.

  It was the perfect balance of rustic nature with luxury! The hut is small but so perfectly laid out, every bit of space is used effectively and the lovely owners have provided absolutely everything you could possibly need. They were also super friendly and helpful, providing tips for us useless city dwellers on how to set up the wood burner and also giving very clear instructions for local walks. We didn't use the hot tub in the end but it looked absolutely gorgeous. We explored the local area a bit and the pebbly beach is lovely but most of our time was spent enjoying the hut, lying in the garden reading, toasting marshmallows on the firepit and cooking a feast on the BBQ. As the listing says there is no wifi which is all part of the fun 'off grid' experience but there is perfectly good mobile and 4G signal if needed. The hosts kindly provide all the essentials you need for cooking, plus fuel for the wood burner, BBQ, firepit and hot tub. There was very reliable hot water and a lovely fully functional bathroom with a great shower - we couldn't believe they fit all of that plus a lovely comfy double bed into such a small space! We'll be back as soon as we can.
