Our favourite treehouse stays in Wales

Beudy Banc Treehouse wins all the prizes for location and is a favourite treehouse in Wales for outdoor adventure aficionados. From your treetop perch, you’re just minutes away from some of Wales’ most fabled landscapes. Hike through ancient forests, plunge into wild swimming spots near cascading waterfalls, or take on the legendary mountain biking trails of Dyfi Forest. 

For a slower pace, head into Machynlleth, where charming streets are lined with independent cafés, the Wales Museum of Modern Art, and a warm community spirit. After a big day out, stoke the wood burner and watch the night sky fill with stars, completely undisturbed by city lights.

If treehouse life is the dream, Lofty brings it to reality – thirty feet up in the canopy, in a woodland valley straight out of a fairytale. This off-grid treehouse invites you to slow down and embrace the simple joys of fire-lit evenings, log-chopping mornings, and the quiet hum of the forest. 

The adventure begins right at your doorstep, with a circular hike that weaves through lush valleys and opens up to sweeping views of southern Snowdonia. Follow Glyndŵr's Way, an ancient trail rich with history, before rewarding yourself with dinner at a characterful countryside pub just a mile away. At Lofty, time slows, worries fade, and you’ll spend the stay enveloped with a sense of magic and calm.

The stuff of childhood dreamlands brought to life, Copse Camp is a treehouse filled with wonder. Rope bridges sway between the trees, a gypsy caravan serves as a second bedroom, and Beano comic wallpaper lines the walls, giving the space a playful, nostalgic charm. 

Here, mornings start with a steaming coffee on the deck, overlooking rolling moors where rabbits, foxes, and owls roam freely. You’re in nature, my friend! Margaret and Jenny, your welcoming hosts, know the area like the back of their hands and will happily point you towards the best market towns, National Trust treasures, and hidden countryside pubs. Stargazing here is a must too, the skies here are epic. After a day of exploring, sink into the hot tub, breathe in the crisp night air, and marvel at a sky so full of stars it feels infinite.

We know what you’re thinking… you really need to stay in a treehouse in Wales that is epically beautiful, very chic and comes with an outdoor breakfast bar, hot tub and a pizza oven. Cuckoo’s Hideaway ticks all the boxes and is humble with it.  

Kick off your stay by tucking into the welcome hamper whilst delighting in the view from the sofa. Once you’re settled in, head to New Quay to spot dolphins in the bay, or meander through charming market towns filled with artisan shops and cosy cafés. The next day, choose a section of the Wales Coast Path to tick off the list. Back at your treehouse sanctuary, leave plenty of time to soak in the hot tub. It’s on the elevated deck and is really a rather wonderful place to be.

The Owners of Nyth y Barcud Treehouse made a genius move by popping a special glass panel in the elevated floor, offering guests a unique window into the wildlife below, enjoyed from the comfort of the sofa. Watch red squirrels scurry and birds flit through the undergrowth as you sip your morning brew. A masterpiece of design, it’s filled with modern amenities, blending comforts with deep immersion in nature.  

Adventure seekers will thrive here. With world-class mountain biking trails on the farm itself and countless hiking routes nearby, this is the perfect spot for outdoorsy folk that find joy in getting gloriously muddy. The nearby town of Machynlleth is filled with culture, delicious eateries and the promise of a good time. You’re guaranteed to feel very far away from it all as you spend your evening fireside, and the wilderness settles into night.

Seclusion, romance, and adventure intertwine at Mistletoe Treehouse. Ditch the car upon arrival – you won’t need it. Just footsteps away, the famous Wye Valley Walk stretches out before you, leading to Offa’s Dyke and miles of untouched countryside. Medhope Organic Garden is just 2 minutes' walk from the cabin and sells eggs and a range of seasonal produce, so you’ll be able to whip up some slap-up brunches in your kitchen, or over the firepit.  

Prefer water to walking boots? Canoe down the River Wye, gliding past ancient woodlands and dramatic cliffs, before stopping for a riverside picnic. This is a perfect spot for a romantic weekend away. If you're in the mood for something creative, book a green woodworking course with local artisan Gemma. Or simply stay put and pop another log on the fire. Whatever floats your boat.

If you’re longing for total peace and quiet, The Perch will be a bit of you. Hidden on a hillside outside Llanidloes, this snug treehouse invites you to switch off completely. No WiFi, no phone signal, just rolling countryside and the occasional passing tractor. 

Sit out on the deck with a locally made sparkling cider from the welcome hamper, followed by a long and restorative dip in the hot tub as mist rises from the hills. Inside, the compact kitchen has everything you need to whip up a meal, while the wood burner keeps things toasty on cooler evenings. Local gems include Wild Oak Café, a vibrant vegetarian spot showcasing local artists, and the Mid Wales Art Centre, which offers workshops and exhibitions. For something truly special, visit Welsh Mountain Cider for a tasting experience.

Perched up in a stunning Welsh valley, Cnocell y Coed is more than just a treehouse. It’s a retreat designed to spark creativity and connection with nature. Whether you’re an artist, writer, or simply someone who loves to let their imagination roam, this stay offers something truly special. 

One of the most thoughtful touches is the "Get Inspired" hamper, provided to every guest. Inside, you’ll find everything you need to embrace your creative side. With the peaceful surroundings and rolling hills stretching beyond the balcony, it’s the perfect setting to sketch, write, or just reflect. For an extra touch of magic, take the binoculars from the hamper and wander into the nearby woods to the Giant’s Grave, a Bronze Age burial site wrapped in local folklore and believed to be watched over by fairies. Magic, indeed. Whether you come here to explore, create, or simply escape, Cnocell y Coed will leave you feeling inspired in more ways than one.
