Treehouse in Cornwall with a wood-fired outdoor bathtub: Tucked away in the lush landscapes of the Helford River,
this enchanting treehouse invites you to enjoy an immersive escape in nature. Soak in the
wood-fired outdoor bathtub or step into the dappled delights of the ancient woodland as you reconnect
with the world around you.

Overview

Meaning ‘escape’ in Cornish, Skapya invites you to do just that on the doorstep of one of
Cornwall’s most magical woodlands. Nestled in the ancient canopy surrounding the Helford
River, this captivating treehouse sits 4 metres above the ground and boasts sprawling views
across the valley and rolling countryside. Soak up your dappled setting from your private
balcony as the swaying branches of mature oak, beech, and ash trees lull you into a blissful
reverie or step into the fire-warmed depths of your outdoor bathtub and let the melodic sounds of nature
wrap around you. With the tranquil banks of the Helford River on your doorstep, alongside cosy
pubs and cafés, the idyllic landscapes of South Cornwall have everything you need for a
rejuvenating escape.

Step Inside

The handcrafted curve of Skapya instantly draws the eye as you approach along the pretty
woodchip path and through an enchanting wooden arch. Inside the cedar-clad treehouse, a
Nordic-inspired interior instills calm and sets the scene for peaceful evenings curled up in the
glowing light of the wood burner. A sleek Scandinavian kitchen beckons for culinary delights,
with an induction hob, oven, toaster, stove-top kettle, and a dishwasher on hand. Extend the
fold-out table to enjoy breakfast gazing out the window or take your coffee onto the balcony to
sip in the dappled light.
Beckoning for cosy evenings by the flickering wood burner, the beautiful living area boasts style
and comfort at every turn, whether you want to unwind on the Graham and Green sofa with a
book from the shelf or sink into the beanbag as you listen to one of the discs on the vintage,
powder-blue Crossley record player.
The bedroom is a dreamy cocoon, from the king size bed with sumptuous bed linen to the
balcony, which calls for slow mornings as you soak up your beautiful surroundings. Get ready
for the day at the lovely wooden dressing table, or pull on a complementary robe and make your
way to your wood-fired outdoor bath for a blissful soak. Lined in gorgeous green tiles, the bathroom is an oasis of calm, with a rainfall shower and heated towel rail adding an extra touch of luxury

Outdoors

Making the most of the picturesque hillside setting overlooking the valley, Skapya boasts a
serene outside space. Encased by trees, sink into the soul-soothing depths of the wood-fired
outdoor bathtub as your leafy sanctuary serenades you with birdsong on the oak-scented air. As dusk
falls, gather around the flickering fire pit as stars blanket the sky above the gently rustling
canopy.

Explore

Nestled in the Lizard Peninsula National Landscape, with the ancient charms of the Helford
River on your doorstep, Skapya promises dappled adventures at every turn. The pretty village of
Gweek is a stone’s throw away, giving you easy access to warm and welcoming eateries, pubs,
and a beautiful waterside setting.
The Black Swan is a welcoming community pub, while Café at the Boatyard invites you to pop in
for a coffee with glorious views across the water. A little further and you’ll come across the idyllic
Helford village, home to the famous waterside pub, The Shipwrights Arms, which boasts
incredible views and a mouthwatering menu. A short drive from Skapya, Constantine is well
worth a visit as it’s home to two of Cornwall’s main foodie attractions. Slice is a charming café in
the woods featuring incredible brunches, lunches, and everything in between, while Constantine
Stores offers one of the most specialist collections of wines and spirits in the country.
Stepping into the leaf-strewn landscapes of the Helford River, discover a magical world of
oak-lined creeks and ancient woodlands that have inspired many works of art and fiction. Hire
kayaks or sailing boats to explore the river under your own steam, pausing at secluded coves
for quiet picnics as you go, or walk along the riverbanks and enjoy dips in the glassy waters. A
short drive will take you to the dramatic coastline around the Lizard Peninsula, where the
world-famous beach at Kynance Cove awaits. Or, heading into nearby Falmouth, uncover
sub-tropical gardens, award-winning restaurants, and golden beaches lined by azure seas.
