One-Off Feature

A beautifully designed stilted treehouse for two set in a pretty woodland in Somerset.  The treehouse occupies the same site as some yurts and shepherd's huts, but is beautifully secluded in its own clearing and just a short walk from a private hot tub.  Set in your own woodland garden on an organic farm and with superbly bespoke interiors, this is a fabulous glamping destination.  Perfect for hot tub breaks for 2.

General Info

The Birdhouse is a stilted Treehouse in the woodland behind the collection of glamping yurts.  You enter the site through a gate in the hornbeam hedge and find a clearing alive with birdsong. The Birdhouse stands at the far edge on its tree trunk stilts. It’s clad in local cedar and the first impression is of a giant bird box with its large round window.  In search of treehouse holidays or romantic rural retreats - this is your place for glamping in England!

The handmade bed will have you waking refreshed to inspiring views through the two picture windows. You can ease into the day under the rain head shower then cook breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen.

You can eat around the handmade dining table or just lounge on the comfy sofa.
