Esme’s Escape is a luxurious glamping retreat infused with 1940s nostalgia, perfectly blending rustic charm with modern comfort – and with the added bonus of the local pub just a short stroll away. This multi-award winning, land-girl inspired shepherd’s hut with its own hot tub is nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Haselbury Plucknett in South Somerset. Guests can enjoy the best of both worlds: a peaceful countryside escape with the convenience of a delicious meal only 2–3 minutes away on foot. Ideally situated for exploring the Somerset Levels, the Jurassic Coast, and many historic villages and market towns, it’s perfect for both adventure and relaxation.  One small dog is welcome.

Whether you choose to sightsee or simply unwind in the popular log-fired hot tub, Esme’s Escape invites you to step into Esme and Fred’s wartime love story.

Simon and Karen, have happily called Haselbury Plucknett home since 1998, raising our two sons here and building lasting friendships within the village. When our sons prepared to leave for university, we were inspired to create a unique holiday retreat in our small orchard. Having both originally met through agriculture – just like Esme and Fred, the couple who built our home – a shepherd’s hut felt the perfect way to unite both of our love stories. Built largely by hand from a Blackdown Shepherd Huts kit, the project took just five months of weekends and evenings, and we’re delighted to now share this special space with guests.
