When you think of a treehouse, you may be picturing a botched up wooden box precariously perched up a tree!But there are some truly astounding treehouses across the UK, many of which are genuine architectural wonders.
I’m a big fan of treehouse stays, as they’re a wonderful way of getting back to nature while enjoying luxury touches and exceptional style.
They blend seamlessly into their serene surroundings, offering not just a roof over your head but an enchanting interplay between nature, comfort, and design.
For those weary of the mundane hotel room or the ubiquitous holiday cottage, a treehouse offers a nostalgic reconnection with childhood dreams, paired with the luxuries of modern living.
From the remote Scottish Highlands to the picturesque valleys of Wales, and the leafy corners of England, the UK boasts an array of unforgettable treetop retreats.
Join me as we climb ladders and cross bridges to discover the very best of UK treehouse stays.
A quick note on dog-friendly treehouse stays in the UK – I’ve done my best to include some dog-friendly options, but the majority of treehouses are unfortunately not able to cater for your furry friends.
This is usually because of the surrounding birds and wildlife. That said, I’ve included a handful of dog-friendly treehouse stays which have been marked in this post.
Whether you’re seeking a romantic hideaway, a family adventure, or simply a tranquil place to listen to the whispers of leaves, the perfect canopy-covered oasis awaits.

1. Nymetwood Treehouses
Where: Crediton, Devon
Sleeps: 4
Highlights:
- Outdoor bath
- Skylight above the bed
- Beautiful Scandi interiors
Dog-friendly? No
Nestled within a sprawling 20-acre expanse of woodland, meadow, and apple orchards, lies Nymetwood Treehouses.
There are two treehouses to choose from (I stayed in Starling), both surrounded by the enchanting Devon countryside and perched amidst the tree canopy.
The treehouses combine cosy comfort with chic Scandi design that looks as though it belongs in the pages of an interior design magazine.
They are best suited to two adults but there is a small room with bunk beds to accommodate two extra little ones.
Stargaze from the cosy king-size bed situated in the mezzanine or settle into the sofa with a good book in front of the woodburner.
A real highlight is the outside copper bathtub on the deck, perfect for soaking up the tranquillity of the surrounding woodland – a real highlight of my stay.
You’ll find everything you need at the treehouses, with fully equipped kitchens, board games, books and Netflix.
Not far from Dartmoor National Park, both Devon and Cornwall’s treasures are within a stone’s throw.
My recommendation? Put a Harry Potter film on the TV, light the wood-burning stove and snuggle up on the sofa with a cup of tea – or glass of wine.
It honestly does not get more comforting and peaceful than this.
2. Bower Treehouse
Where: Bruton, Somerset
Sleeps: 2
Highlights:
- Outdoor bathtub

On arrival at this charming treehouse, we picked up our lanterns before heading into the woodlands.
Here you cross a bridge which takes you over a trickling stream to the treehouse.
It’s a back-to-nature treehouse stay but with a touch of luxury. Lie back in the king-sized bed carved from stag oak and stargaze through the skylight.
Whip up a meal in the copper and brass kitchen, or fire up the BBQ for an alfresco treat.
A particular highlight of mine was soaking in the outdoor bath at night, with a glass of Champagne and a light trickle of rain. This place is truly dreamy.

Its biophilic design ensures that it blends seamlessly with the surrounding natural environment, creating an unforgettable woodland oasis.
Luxury touches abound here and perhaps my favourite feature are the electrochromic windows – they allow you to see out, but no-one or no-thing to see in.
Cosy up in front of the floating woodburner, soak away your stresses in the stone bathtub or dine under the stars on the outdoor deck.
The design of this treehouse stay is simply breathtaking and it’s no wonder that it’s so difficult to find availability here!

With limited technology and no television, the treehouse offers the perfect excuse to disconnect from the world.
Yet the treehouse still has a strong sense of luxury, with underfloor heating throughout, a designer fireplace, and an outdoor copper bathtub.
I can’t think of a better place for a dreamy digital detox.

Oh, and there’s also a slide down to the ground for those wishing to unleash their inner child. Count me in!
