1 / 24Bolstone View Shepherd Huts - Loxley
Little Dewchurch, Herefordshire
A shepherd hut for two at Little Dewchurch near Hereford, on a working farm, with an enclosed garden, a fire pit outside it and one dog welcome.
Bolstone View stands on a working farm at Little Dewchurch, and Loxley is one of two shepherd huts on it. It takes two people and one dog, with a shower room, a double bed and a stove-effect fire that does the job without a chimney. The enclosed garden outside has a picnic bench in it, with a fire pit past that. A dog friendly hut is a small thing to run, and most of the appeal is that.
The enclosure matters more here than it would at a house. Past the garden the fields belong to the farm and may have horses or sheep in them, so a dog goes on a lead the moment it leaves the gate and does not need one at all inside. That is a clean rule, and a hut this size does not want a more complicated one.
The evening is the fire pit. It has a swing arm over it for cooking and the logs are left ready, and once it is lit there is nothing else to do and nowhere else to be. One dog, two chairs, a field of horses somewhere in the dark behind, and a bed you can reach in about four paces.
Hereford, 5.2 miles north, keeps the Mappa Mundi inside its cathedral, a thirteenth century map of the world with Jerusalem in the middle and the edges full of things its makers had only been told about. The Wye comes through the city with a path beside it. A footpath leaves 200 metres from the hut for anybody who would rather not drive at all, and a dog gets the lanes in either direction.

Is Bolstone View Shepherd Huts - Loxley dog friendly?
Yes, Loxley welcomes one dog alongside two guests. The hut has an enclosed garden where your dog can roam freely off lead, making it a genuinely practical setup for bringing a pet along rather than an afterthought.
Are dogs allowed at Bolstone View Shepherd Huts - Loxley year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's best to check directly with Bolstone View when booking to confirm availability for your dates.
What should I know before visiting Bolstone View Shepherd Huts - Loxley with my dog?
The rule here is straightforward: dogs are free to be off lead inside the enclosed garden, but must go on a lead the moment they pass through the gate. The surrounding fields are part of a working farm and may have horses or sheep in them, so it's a sensible and non-negotiable boundary to keep in mind.
