Hamper and Drinks In the hut is a drinks menu containing drinks from our local breweries and distilleries. We can bring orders to your hut during your stay. This includes our own hut special cocktails and own labelled wines! Expansive views from the hut and local footpaths We are fortunate to enjoy stunning views down a long valley all the way to Eggardon Iron Age fort. With not so much as a hamlet visible this makes for some wonderful scenery. Above the bed is a panoramic star gazing window so the views are also upwards! We are surrounded by a fabulous network of footpaths and bridleways – we supply a walking map. As a result of the rolling hills of Dorset each brow of a hill brings a whole new vista. Within a short walk of the Astronomer you can see miles of the Jurassic coast all the way from Abbotsbury to Lyme Regis. You will never bore of this vista! If you are wishing to eat out there are also some lovely places within nearby Beaminster or beyond. Beaminster is a 2 mile walk.
