TreeDwellers' encampment of contemporary treehouses join a massive woodland megaphone designed to amplify the sounds of the forest. Rose Dykins reports

TreeDwellers has launched a set of self-catered treehouses in the Cotswolds, creating a restful forest retreat in the UK.

Set within 1,700 acres of ancient woodland in Cornbury Park estate - close to the village of Chalbury, a 90-minute train journey from London -  the seven architecturally distinct treehouses are designed to blend with the surrounding forest.

Each treehouse is encased in timber, copper and glass, has a curvy design that feels conducive to its neighbouring natural environment, and is elevated three metres above the forest floor.

The one- and two- kingsize bedroom treehouses have fully equipped kitchens and cosy living area with wood-burning stoves, as well as free-standing tubs overlooking mesmerising views. Other amenities include Sonos surround sound systems and tablets. The décor of each treehouse is modern and neutral, with large windows that frame the woodland scenes and bring the outside in.

When guests arrive at TreeDwellers, they receive a welcome hamper with regional cheeses, Missing Bean Coffee, Canton Tea, Unordinary Oat Milk, and sommelier-selected wine. There is also an on-site shop for essentials, as well as treats, wine and local beer from TAP Social.

TreeDwellers is also home the the UK’s first nine-metre twin-coned forest megaphone. The wooden structure has been hand-crafted to amplify the sounds of the forest. There is also an on-site yoga platform and pagoda that guests can use to immerse themselves in the wellbeing benefits of being in the forest, or to host magical woodland weddings.

TreeDwellers’ location in the heart of the Cotswolds provides easy access to popular spots including Chipping Norton, Soho Farmhouse, Diddly Squat Farm Shop and Daylesford Farm Shop. The concierge team can help guests to plan their time exploring the local areal, arrange private yoga sessions or in-room wellness treatments, and offer dining recommendations.

TreeDwellers is the creation of Tim Rees - the company’s founder and CEO. His vision is to provide a sanctuary where guests can effortlessly transition from the high-alert beta brainwaves to the calm and restful alpha brain waves, fostering a sense of relaxation and inspiration. “I am over the moon to welcome the first guests to TreeDwellers,” he says. “It’s been a long journey to bring this vision into reality and I am thrilled to share this extremely special place with our guests. The woodland has long been a sanctuary for me, and I am confident our guests will leave feeling relaxed, restored, and inspired.”

Rates with TreeDwellers start from £220 per treehouse per night with a minimum two-night stay.
