Treehouse holidays are unique - but treehouse accommodation like this is something else! Set in an AONB in Dorset woodland, 10 miles from the Jurassic coast, this treehouse has a distinctive camouflage design, inspired by the patterns used to hide WW1 ships. With a private deck and hot tub, it’s a glorious romantic retreat.
This collection of award winning luxury treehouses and a hand crafted woodland yurt are set in beautiful west country woodland in Dorset, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). It’s an adults only retreat, perfect for couples who wish to escape and recharge. Each treehouse has its own private deck with a wood fired pizza oven and hot tub, as well as an ensuite flushing loo. The original treehouse on site won an RIBA South West award and has featured on George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces and on Grand Designs. The other two treehouses have both been shortlisted for the 2023 RIBA architectural awards. This is unique glamping in England!
The treehouse is based in Dorset woodland, at the point where Dorset meets Devon and Somerset. It is 10 miles from the Jurassic coast at Lyme Regis and 16 miles from the coastal town of Bridport. River Cottage HQ, the brainchild of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall is 7.5 miles away, where you can book a variety of cookery courses, as well as courses in curing, smoking and foraging. Head to the coast for beaches, boat trips, mackerel fishing and fossil hunting. Forde Abbey, a medieval monastery, is well worth a visit and right on our doorstep as the estate borders the treehouse woodland. There are lots of great places to eat and drink in the vicinity, the nearest being the Tytherleigh Arms, two miles down the road. Visit Pilsden Pen, the second highest point in Dorset for superb views across Golden Cap and out to sea. Or perhaps you’d like a tour of the Black Cow Vodka distillery, local vodka made from milk! Electric bikes are available to hire nearby and can be delivered to the woods.
