Our Favourite Woodland Stays for Autumn

It’s no surprise that many childhood fairytales feature a woodland setting.
There’s something inherently magical about a place that hums so happily with the fresh charms of nature, in surroundings that have stood the test of time, unspoilt and virtually unchanged for centuries.
From joyous morning birdsong to badgers scuttling through the undergrowth at dusk, the woodland boasts its own gentle soundtrack. Meanwhile, the sun has never looked quite as beautiful as it does when it’s sinking slowly over dense, whispering trees.
If it’s possible, these simple woodland pleasures become even lovelier during autumn. Think crunchy carpets of vibrant-hued leaves, crisp evening air, and clear, cool nights of stargazing-by-firepit, accompanied by steaming mugs of hot chocolate.
A classic time of renewal, autumn is the perfect season in which to witness everything that makes the woodland so special and unique. And when you’ve got a wondrous woodland retreat to curl up in afterwards, so much the better.
So why not cherish those special moments of reconnection – both with nature, and your loved ones – from the comfort of these incredible hideaways?
Boasting luxury of just about every description, you’ll soon find there’s no need to compromise on style or comfort… even when you’re living in the woods!
