UK Staycation - Dimpsey Glamping

- This post was a PR stay, but was under no obligation to review.- 

Nestled in a woodland clearing in the Somerset countryside, you'll find Dimpsey Glamping's Yonder Hut - a luxury shepherd hut that comes equipped with everything you need to unwind for a couple of days. A wood fired hot tub, a pizza oven and even an indoor copper bath, you'll never want to go back to camping as you know it. 

One of my rituals whenever I go camping, or in this case glamping, is to make a scrumptious breakfast of scrambled eggs on toast eaten outside with a piping hot drink to start the day. Whilst I still bundled up warm in a scarf and a big knit, it wouldn't be needed as the fireplace kept us toasty inside and kept the whole hut warm throughout the night. 

As we visited in November, the autumn leaves started to fall throughout our stay and we even had a couple of foggy mornings making it extra magical. The birds were always chirping away and we even got to spot some wildlife. In the corner of your clearing in the woods, you'll find a swinging seat hanging from one of the trees. This quickly became my favourite spot to sit and I found that despite bringing my book down there to read, I was often left in a trance watching the wildlife as I gently began to swing. There's walks around the area perfect for exploring, but I swapped those for a wander around to see their resident sheep and cat! 

Dimpsey Glamping describes the Yonder Hut (and their other two huts on offer at the same spot!) as a 5* luxury and I couldn't agree more. A full sized bed to snuggle up into, a well equipped kitchen and even an en-suite - if the hot tub or copper bath wasn't what you fancied. Yonder Hut is essentially two full sized shepherds huts put together, so you have a little extra space and all the luxuries you need to unwind and relax. 

We let the wood fired hot tub heat up throughout the day and as our stay coexisted with Bonfire Night, we spent hours watching the fireworks light up the night sky as we soaked away. I think I felt so relaxed that I dozed straight off in the sumptuous bed! Now I've stayed at the Yonder Hut, I would love to try out their other huts, the Hither and Dapple. 

Would you stay in a shepherds hut? 

The Best Christmas Jumpers This Year

The Christmas countdown is on... which means so is the hunt for the best Christmas jumper! I've put together the ultimate list of Christmas jumpers for all tastes and budgets, so if you're looking for something wearable (or maybe a little outlandish) then I suggest you read on. 

I'm personally not just a "wear a Christmas jumper once" kind of girl, in fact I often wear Christmas jumpers throughout the month of December. They bring me quite a lot of joy, so I've gained quite the collection and I'm happy to invest in a jumper if a special one catches my eye. The Kiel James Patrick sweaters are always a must to have a look at and my Santa's New Sleigh sweater is a prized procession of mine and one that I've got lots of compliments on. 

This year I'm really loving Joules and everything they've had on offer throughout Autumn, so I had to take a look at their new in jumpers for Christmas and I was pleasantly surprised. On one hand you've got the Fleece Navidad jumper which is simple, yet effective, but I'm also loving the Ski Jumper which I feel like you could get wear out of even into January. 

Christmas Home Decor Finds

Christmas is coming! Whilst some may say November is too early to think about Christmas, let alone decorate for it, I personally like to get in there early and look at what the shops have got to offer. Over the past few years, I have been adding to my Christmas decor collection that I can reuse for years to come, so I like to see if there's anything else I would like to add. Here are my favourite Christmas decor finds so far this 2024. 

One of my favourites this year has been picking up this Gingerbread House Cushion from TK Maxi, I feel like it would match my current decor perfectly and it's super cute! You may also recognise this Snowman Cushion from last year and it's back! It's huge, snuggly and perfect for filling any gaps you have with a jolly snowman face. 

I've also picked up a couple of bits from Primark home, so would recommend checking out their new in pieces if you want some cute trinkets, cushions or blankets.
