The Birdhouse

Drawing influence from Scandinavian design and clad in local cedar, The Birdhouse is an exclusive, stilted couples retreat that will take your breath away.

It’s hard not to be wowed upon first glimpse of The Birdhouse. So named because of its large circular window and local cedar cladding, you will undoubtedly feel like a pair of lovebirds with a stay in this charming and natural place, built on tree trunk stilts and nestled amongst woodland which is also home to The Yurt Retreat's beautiful yurts, lodge and roundhouses. Voted one of the top three places to stay in the UK by The Times, The Birdhouse comes with its own private wood fired hot tub, and bookable access to an onsite woodland sauna.

The house is entered via a gate in the Hormbeam hedge, where you reach your own private setting with the Birdhouse at the far edge. Heading up the staircase to the outdoor decking you’ll hear the woodland alive with birdsong.  Step inside to take in the high vaulted ceiling, curved on one side, and the hand-made bed from where you’ll see views out to the woodland space via the cute picture windows. You have everything you need here to remain inside your sanctuary, including a fully-equipped kitchen, dining area and comfy sofa and lounge space.

Once inside, you will not want to leave, and you have the relaxing woodland sauna to enjoy on the grounds, but should you manage to prize yourself away from this wonderful bolthole, you are just 30 minutes from Lyme Regis and the gorgeous scenic views along the Jurassic Coast; the perfect romantic location for a memorable stay in your very own Birdhouse.
