Little Oak Treehouse

This truly dreamy, dog friendly glamping abode is simply perfect for a unique staycation. Nestled high within the forest lies a completely peaceful paradise, waiting to welcome you with its calm and cosy aura.

This hidden haven is no ordinary escape, it truly is one-of-a-kind.

Arriving at Little Oak Treehouse feels like a scene out of a fairy tale. You follow a winding bluebell-lined path through the forest to reach your hidden haven. The layout is truly unique. Downstairs you will find the open-air living and dining space, beautifully decorated in calming neutral tones. On cooler days, you can pull across the transparent canopy to keep the space nice and cosy. There’s even a little gas heater which is sure to keep you toasty. You will also find the bespoke kitchen that wraps around the tree trunk itself on the ground floor. The space is perfectly equipped for your stay in nature. There’s a gas hob, mini oven, fridge, kettle and wood-fired pizza oven that sits just out to the right of the kitchen.

To find the bedroom, climb the stairs. Step inside and sink into the luxurious aura this dreamy space radiates. There’s a warming wood-burner and underfloor heating to keep you cosy no matter the weather. You’ll also find two little armchairs and a sumptuous double bed adorned in luxury linens.

The compost toilet and hot shower are just a few footsteps away from the treehouse, gorgeously presented and just the spot for freshening up.

There are three stunning seating areas to enjoy outside. From the ground floor, climb the first couple of steps to find the perfect spot for enjoying your homemade wood-fired pizzas. The next level leads you to a sweet set of wicker chairs, idyllic for that evening sundowner. The last lot of steps take you to the bedroom where you’ll see the perfect bistro set for enjoying your morning coffee just to the left of the door. The fantastic wood-fired pizza oven also sits just outside the hideaway close to the kitchen. This unique feature makes romantic nights even more special; a little taste of Italy to enjoy during your stay in nature.
