New treehouses ‘like a 5-star hotel’ set to open in UK – with country’s first forest megaphone and stunning views
IF you fancy a night in the trees then there is a new property opening in January that might take your fancy.
UK treehouse specialist TreeDwellers has revealed the one-of-a-kind holiday homes, designed to be like a “five-star hotel”.
It will be the first of their treehouses to open in the country, within the Cotswolds in Oxfordshire.
The seven treehouses will be made from timber and glass, within 1,700 acres of the Cornbury Park woodlands, known for being the home of Wilderness Festival.
Each one will have a full kitchen, living area, and a wood burning stove when the temperature drops.
They range from one to two bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms as well as an outdoor shower on the private terrace.
Within the treehouse resort will also be the “UK’s first forest megaphone” within the forest, where guests can list to the sounds and vibrations of the trees.
Guests will be given a hamper of local treats when they arrive, with Missing Bean coffee, Minor Figures Oat milk as well as tea, cheese and wine.
However there is also an on-site shop with local beers, wines and treats.
And activities including private yoga, guided meditation and in-room treatments can be booked, as well as recommendations for local walking tours and dining spots.
Their social media page explains: “We don’t do ‘back to nature’, so you’ll be living with every mod con, bell and whistle you’d expect from a 5-star boujie hotel.
“Being with nature doesn’t mean you should suffer without life’s luxuries.”
Tim Rees, Founder and CEO of TreeDwellers, said: “I am over the moon to introduce TreeDwellers to the UK,” said
“It’s been a long journey to bring this vision into a reality and I am thrilled to welcome guests into this extraordinary space.
“The woodland has long been a sanctuary for me and I am confident our guests will leave feeling relaxed, restored and inspired.”
The properties will open from January 2024, and start from £210 a night, with a minimum two-night stay.
To get to TreeDwellers, trains from London to Charlbury take 90 minutes, with it a short drive away.
And the Cotswolds, one of the most popular destinations in the UK, is home to a number of stunning towns and villages.
The small town of Painswick has been called a “magical” place and “Queen of the Cotswolds”.
Castle Combe is known as the “prettiest village in England” and even has a popular racing track where tourists can drive their own cars.
And the Cotswolds is also home to the UK’s largest sandy inland beach.
