Competition | Win a shepherd hut stay worth £340

Iona Bower November 16, 2022

Enjoy the best of both worlds with a break that offers nature on your doorstep and all the
creature comforts of home, too

The festive season – many of us spend all year looking forward to the final crescendo of the year, when celebrations fill the social calendar and spending valuable time with loved ones takes centre-stage. Whether it’s sipping bubbles at parties or bracing winter walks followed by cosy afternoons in front of the fire, life is full. But as we move into a new year, things slow down to a more sustainable pace and thoughts tend to turn to plans and ambitions for the year ahead.

If you’re longing to pencil in a treat on the horizon – but something a little more peaceful than activities of late – then a glamping break might be just what you’re after. We’ve teamed up with our friends at Blackdown Shepherd Huts and glamping retreat, Dimpsey, to offer one lucky reader of The Simple Things the chance to win a two-night stay for two in a beautifullycrafted shepherd hut in Somerset. With all the comforts of a high-end break, including sumptuous beds, cosy wood-burners and UK-made artisan pieces throughout, a shepherd hut stay at Dimpsey combines the best of luxury living with the simplicity of nature just outside your door. So you can relax and embrace the opportunity to totally switch off and recharge your batteries, ready to tackle all the adventures that are yet to come.

HOW TO ENTER For your chance to win a two-night break, enter our competition by the closing date of 11 January 2023 by clicking on the button below and answering the following question:

Q. Which county is the shepherd’s hut stay based in?

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
