The Hudnalls Hideout
England / Nr St Briavels, Gloucestershire
Full description
An ultra-luxurious, design-led and TV-featured treehouse-for-two, deliciously secluded amongst private woodland in the beautiful Wye Valley.
If you had to imagine the perfect setting for a romantic treehouse, you'd be hard pressed to come up with anything quite as idyllic as the Wye Valley (a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, no less).
Surrounded by ancient, wildlife-steeped woodland, and with easy access to a wildflower meadow for private picnics, a stay at The Hudnalls Hideout will introduce you and your loved one to your own secret, utterly magical world.
With some help from the popular BBC show, Escape to the Country, owners Sarah and Ade hand-picked the stunningly secluded spot themselves, then got straight to work on crafting their North American ‘cabin in the woods' inspired treehouse, in close collaboration with a team of specialist builders.
The result is a jaw-droppingly lovely, seriously Insta-worthy space designed by Studio Six Architecture, built for both comfort and style. Featuring popular designer pieces from the online design brand MADE.COM, you'll find the grown-ups-only hideaway bursting with sensory treats and you may spotted them featured on Channel 4's Extraordinary Escapes.
The ‘Scandi-Lux' lounge area has a gorgeously retro feel, accented by a soft evening glow from the suspended fireplace (trust us, you won't want to go out!) Meanwhile, underfloor heating will keep you perfectly toasty, as you snuggle up together with a welcome glass or two of wine.
There's a well-equipped kitchen on hand, complete with those holiday essentials: a dishwasher and a Nespresso machine. Order some mouth-watering treats from the local deli, all ready and waiting for your arrival, try your hand at cooking on the firepit outside...or why not take advantage of the private chef hire available, instead?
The indulgent bathroom is equipped with a double rainfall shower; though you may prefer soaking in the gleaming copper bathtub-for-two, which you'll find outside on the furnished deck. Sunset-watching complete, when it's time to turn in all you need to do is climb the hand-carved stairs, set into the cedar tree trunk, to your sumptuous handmade loft bed.
Drift off to a sound night's sleep with the whispering trees and the star-studded sky in easy view from the awe-inspiring, full height viewing window, and another huge picture window to the side.
If you can tear yourselves away, there's plenty to see and do in the surrounding area. The Wye Valley and the nearby Forest of Dean offer tranquil experiences and thrill-seeking adventure alike - how about a spot of mountain biking in the forest, flotation therapy, or foraging with a local guide?
Meanwhile, keen walkers could take the Offa's Dyke Path straight from the door (or simply stroll for half an hour to reach the local pub, if you prefer!)
But if you decide you'd rather hole yourselves up in treehouse luxury, then not only can you order a wealth of artisan foodie loveliness to be delivered right to you, you can also arrange a relaxing in-treehouse massage, or reflexology treatment.
(Even amongst such stunning surroundings, venturing out is sure to look less and less tempting by the minute...)
Things to note
Minimum 2-night stay. The treehouse is accessed by a short walk (approx. 150m) through the wildflower meadow and a woodland track. A wheelbarrow is provided for your luggage. Please note that there is no TV or Wi-Fi - the idea is for you to completely switch off from digital life!
