Competition | Win a weekend in a Shepherd's Hut

Iona Bower November 13, 2024

We have a relaxing break in a Blackdown shepherd hut up for grabs, so you can enjoy all the home comforts with nature on your doorstep, thanks to Dimpsey glamping

As the festive season rolls in and we approach the final crescendo of the year, celebrations fill the social calendar and spending valuable time with loved ones takes centre-stage. Whether it’s sipping bubbles, surrounded by sparkling fairy lights at parties or getting together for bracing winter walks, crunching through frosty fields, followed by cosy afternoons in front of the fire, life is full. But as December slips into January, things slow down to a more sustainable pace and thoughts turn to plans and ambitions for the new year ahead.

If you’re longing to pencil in a treat to look forward to – something a little more peaceful than activities of late – then a glamping break might be just what you’re after. The Simple Things has teamed up with our friends at Blackdown Shepherd Huts and glamping retreat, Dimpsey, to offer one lucky reader the chance to win a two-night off-peak stay for two in Hither, a beautifully crafted shepherd hut in Chard, Somerset, together with a 60-minute relaxing massage* for one guest.

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 later in the year.

For more information, visit dimpsey.co.uk and blackdownshepherdhuts.co.uk, or follow on Instagram: @dimpsey_glamping; @blackdownshepherdhuts.

* An additional massage can be booked and paid for independently.

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.
