It’s true that the UK has no shortage of amazing places to stay. There are ultra-modern hotels and castles, scenic camping sites and stately homes. But there’s one type of holiday accommodation that is truly different and that’s the luxury treehouse – but where are the best ones around the UK?

South-east England

West Lexham Treehouses and Glamping offers options both for treehouse holidays and for those who prefer glamping. Located near Kings Lynn in Norfolk, the site has units that can sleep two to six people and has hand-built, rustic treehouses that are insulated, have log burning stoves and even a private BBQ area. The location is half an hour from the Holkham coast and near locations such as Swaffham and Castle Acre.

South-west England

Lavender Hill’s The Treehouse is probably one of the sturdiest looking treehouses you can image and ideal for anyone who is a little uncertain about the idea of treehouse holidays. Located near Taunton, the property sleeps four and is a two storey property surrounded by trees that gives the feel of a treehouse while offering the stability of a wood cabin. It has five star boutique interiors with plasma TV and log wood burner among the features.

Sunridge Treehouse is another that is part treehouse and part wood cabin and gives visitors the luxury experience. The accommodation can sleep six across three bedrooms and features modern touches such as TVs in every bedroom. There’s a state of the art kitchen and open plan living-dining room area on the upper floor with amazing views out across Devon’s Yealm Valley.

The Midlands

The Woodlands Treehouse at Hothorpe Hall is near Theddingworth, Leicestershire and is another location ideal for a couple’s getaway. The treehouse is in five acres of woodland but is also very much a modern, five star accommodation. It features comfy sofas and beds, surrounds sound music system and even gas central heating so doesn’t be put off if you want to visit in winter – it is always cosy inside.

Northern England

Cleveley Mere Treehouse is close to Garstang, Lancashire and is a spacious and very modern treehouse that includes Hypnos mattresses and a £40,000 kitchen – so is definitely at the top end of the luxury scale! It also has access to a range of features with its lakeside location including mountain bikes, kayaks, crazy gold and even its own ping pong table.

Scotland

Brockloch Eco Retreat is near Kirkpatrick Durham in Dumfries and Galloway and offers a treehouse with double bed, small kitchen and even a small bath. It is the perfect refuge for a romantic getaway and spring is a great time to visit as woods floor below is filled with bluebells. The site is near Dumfries with lots of beautiful villages to explore, hiking trails and the coast to the south.

Tree Howf has been expertly built around an ancient ash tree and has amazing views across Dunblane and the wider Perthshire area. It is a single bedroom treehouse that sleeps two and has handmade, rustic furniture, stained glass windows and wood burning stove to add to that woodsy experience. Whether you want to see the animals in spring and summer or stargaze in winter, there is always something on offer here.

Wales

Living Room Treehouses offers the classic treehouse design, a single bedroom treehouse that can sleep up to four with the pull-down bunks. The treehouse has a pod-like design and is ideal if you want a digital detox, away from all that technology. There is a wood burning stove and you even arrive across a wooden suspension bridge – or via the spiral staircase if you prefer.
