10 inspiring treehouses in the UK

Scandinavian design in the treetops

Cleave looks like it’s been borrowed straight from a Nordic design magazine and plonked in Dartmoor. Perched above the woodland, the tall gable window frames the forest and is perfect for brooding over misty mornings, while the wood-burner keeps things cosy.

When it’s sunny, the action moves outside, where the deck holds both a dining table and a bath made for two. It’s a good thing the trees are so tall, because you might not be rushing back inside in a hurry.

Secret rooftop with woodland view

Pomeroy is a showstopper in every sense. Perched among pines and willows, it combines craftsmanship with comfort, offering everything from floor-to-ceiling windows and a wood-burner inside, to a spa bathtub and Finnish sauna outside.

And then, just when you think that’s plenty, a rooftop terrace appears with seating by a firepit, an outdoor TV, and countryside views stretching to Wells Cathedral. Whether you’re cycling the lanes on vintage Dutch bikes or stargazing from the tub, Pomeroy inspires at every turn.

Adventurous treehouse in the Lake District

Silva Treehouse is big enough for the whole gang, and has the key feature every adult secretly wants: a secret slide. You could use the door to the games room, but where’s the fun in that?

Spend your days hiking in the Lake District hills, then come back for late night table tennis tournaments or movie nights. Inspiring? Yes – mainly because it proves that growing up is optional. It’s a place that balances adventure with playfulness, while giving everyone their own corner to relax in.

City escape in the woods

Only 90 minutes from London, Happenoak proves you don’t need to travel far to feel far away. Set in Cambridgeshire woodland, it’s bright, colourful and filled with natural light – the opposite of your cramped train commute.

It’s an inspiring space to reconnect with nature without compromising on comfort, and offers the perfect dose of escapism, even if only for the weekend.

Stargazing treehouse with a hot tub

The Lodge Treehouse is a retreat for those who love their home comforts. Inside, there’s a spacious living area and a waterfall shower en suite, but the real showstopper is outside.

On the deck sits a jacuzzi bathtub made for long evenings under the stars. Pour a glass of wine, sink into the bubbles, and let the peace of the woodland settle in around you. It’s the perfect recipe for doing very little.

Wine, views and woodland calm

The first thing that strikes you as you crunch down the woodchip path to Tinkers Treehouse is the perfect peace of its forested surroundings. 

As you round the corner, your sophisticated apartment in the trees draws into view. Settle on the balcony with a glass of wine and plan the days ahead as you survey your private wilderness.

A storybook escape in private woodland

Faraway Treehouse is the kind of place that feels plucked from a storybook. You follow winding paths through private woodland until, finally, the treehouse reveals itself – an inspiring hideaway designed to spark imagination.

Inside, velvet curtains, floor-to-ceiling windows and eclectic touches make it feel magical but lived-in, like you’ve stumbled into the lair of a forest sprite. It’s a retreat for dreamers, perfect for slowing down and switching off.

Creativity and stargazing in Wales

From the balcony at Cnocell y Coed you can sip your morning coffee while gazing over a lush Welsh valley, or sink into a cosy reading nook, or swinging sofa.

What makes Cnocell y Coed truly inspiring is the way it sparks creativity, with a “get inspired” hamper, complete with books, a notepad, pencils, and even an easel and canvas to help channel the surroundings into words or art. Add fossil hunting trips, fairy folklore walks, and skies made for stargazing, and it’s a place where imagination comes alive.

Luxury treehouse and restoration in the hills

Bower Treehouse is a retreat built around gentle luxury. Every detail connects you back to nature, from the king-sized bed carved from stag oak, to the organic bath salts and candles.

There’s also a vast outdoor bathtub where you can soak as the light fades across the Somerset hills. It’s deeply nurturing and restorative – a place where indulgence feels completely at home.

Family adventuring in the treetops

This family-friendly spot sits in the grounds of a medieval manor house and comes with its own cabin-bed nooks tucked beside a spiral staircase, giving the treehouse a sense of playful adventure. It’s basically the childhood den you always wanted, with better heating.

Kids can run wild outdoors all day, while adults get the peace and quiet of knowing everyone will sleep well afterwards. For families looking to escape and reconnect, it’s a perfect choice.
