Well what can we say...
A step back in time with all the comforts of home - an magical stay in a 1940's - themed stunning shepherd's hut... from the moment we arrived. We were swept into a beautifully curated 1940s dream. Esme's Escape is an absolute gem - lovingly created thoughtfully styled to transport you straight into Esme's bygone era, while still offering all the creature comforts you could wish for. Every detail told a story - from the photos to the wat hats to the coupons, pennys etc. The whole hut jus wrapped around us with warmth just like a cosy hug. It wasn't all about the aesthetics Esme's Escape feels like home. with a cure hearth shaped Victoria sponge cake and apple juice waiting for us. that cake tasted like it was made with love by a loving grandmother...
...continued to outside...
We spent most of the evenings under the thick dence cloud unfortunately covering the stars. But did not spoil our stunning beautiful stay. the evenings in the hot tub whilst cooking a Delicious Pizza in the woodfired oven looking out to the views of the countryside. Then sat back with a glass of wine listening to the blackbirds chirping away.
This place is a hidden treasure. A perfect Romantic retreat for anyone craving a little nostalgia.
Thank you!

P.S. The cake and breakafast was delicious
We had the most magical stay at Esme's Escape! The Shepherd's hut was absolutely perfect - it had everything we needed and so many beautiful touches that made it feel really special. we were greeted witha delicious cake, and the coffee maching was stocked with plendy of pods, plus there were hot chocolate-making ingredients and marshmallows - such a treat!
The breakfast pack was incredible, full of delicious local goodies that we really enjoyed. The hot tub was the cherry on top - nothing better than relaxing under the stars after a day out.
Our hosts were fantastic - always on hand if we needed anything but we also felt like we had total privacy. It was the perfect balance. Their recommendation of The White Horse pub for dinner was spot on - the food absolutely delicious.
We can't wait to come back - it was the perfect escape!

We were blown away by the attention to detail, you really have thought of everything.
We enjoyed some sunny days down at Lyme Regis & Charmouth, and the hut was perfect to come back to after a long day of fossil hunting.
Thank you for such a warm welcome and allowing us to enjoy the beautiful space you've created.
