Here the entire hut is themed to suit, but you can forget digging for victory and get ready instead to uncover the Dorset Coast and Weymouth, plus enticing beaches.

About Esme's Escape

For mud free glamping, this space is between family houses and a secluded Somerset landscape and has all the glam touches that will keep you feeling comfortable in the countryside. The shepherd's hut has embraced its quirky history through a story of love during the war in this part of Somerset. The tale features young Esme, a Land Girl at the time and her fellow Fred. You'll get to know their story through the decorations and trinkets inside the hut. Step into the hut, filled with a timeless sense of the past and take in the smart kitchen area with all your cooking supplies. Cook up a classic (no rationing for you!) and eat with your other half in your cosy space. Curl up on your comfy double bed and take in the vintage decor and sense of a bygone love story. Then, fling open the front door to get gorgeous views of the twinkling stars. Relax in the hot tub and enjoy a pizza from the pizza oven. Even if the weather turns, you can cosy up by a warm stove or watch a DVD in your private nook.
