Competition | Win a break in a Blackdown Shepherd's Hut

Iona Bower November 10, 2021

Win a shepherd hut break worth £300 to recharge body and soul

As winter wraps us in its chilly embrace, many of us dream of hunkering down and snuggling up away from the cold. However, with Christmas soon upon us, there’s always a myriad of lists, plans and chores to work through in preparation for the holidays.

Blackdown Shepherd Huts understands that the frenetic pace of the festive season can often take its toll, so with this in mind, it’s offering one lucky reader of The Simple Things an overnight stay for two in Dimpsey Glamping’s Yonder Hut, which started out life as a Blackdown Shepherd Hut Brace Hut.

Based in the Somerset countryside, and just ten minutes from Blackdown’s Ilminster-based workshop and display garden, Dimpsey Glamping offers a luxury, year-round escape with all the comforts of a 5-star hotel room.

The Dimpsey Yonder Hut features some of Blackdown’s finest craftsmanship, such as its signature star-gazing roof light, ideally positioned above the opulent bespoke double bed, which brings new meaning to sleeping under the stars. Meanwhile, outside, the wood-fired hot tub provides another vantage point to sit and watch the visiting wildlife that’s on your doorstep, including deer and a stunning array of birds. However, if the weather scuppers your plans for an al fresco dip, retreat inside for a luxurious soak in the elegant William Holland copper bath.

Catering is also covered with the hut’s cleverly crafted kitchen – or, for those who simply don’t want to miss a minute of the views, the outdoor kitchen, with pizza oven by Fire Pits UK. Ideal for making the most of the pizza kit included as part of the prize. A night in the Dimpsey Yonder Hut is summed up beautifully by one guest, who said: “The Dimpsey shepherd hut is wonderful on so many levels. Our welcome by Emma and her family was outstanding and, as for the hut, it’s a work of art by those who built it – made comfortable, intriguing and exciting by Emma’s terrific sense of British style.” So however busy your 2021 may have been, a break in a beautifully crafted shepherd hut is the ideal opportunity, in Dimpsey Glamping’s own words, to relax your body, recharge your soul and rediscover each other, all in preparation for a new year full of adventures.

FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN Blackdown Shepherd Huts has a onenight stay for two in a Dimpsey Yonder Hut at Dimpsey Glamping up for grabs, worth £300.
