Treehouse holidays in the UK

A treehouse (or tree house) is a structure you can stay in, built around or in a tree and its branches, sometimes encompassing more than one tree. And, when it comes to the world of glamping, a treehouse is essentially any glamping structure that is raised far above the height of regular forms of accommodation. Not every treehouse will be deep in a forest or built directly in a tree. Many are built on large long stilts, which offer the main support and give the treehouse its height. The important thing, however, is that the structure gives a sense of living at the height of a tree’s branches, providing a bird’s-eye-view. The Oxford English Dictionary define it as:

“A structure built in the branches of a tree for children to play in.”

But nowadays treehouses have gone far beyond their origins as a place for make-believe play for children. We may be grown up here at Hipcamp HQ but we simply adore staying in a treehouse. There are some things you’re never too old for!

From a jaunty, fairy-tale treehouse in East Sussex to the château-style dwelling in central Scotland, we’ve found extra special places to kip in canopy all across the UK. Some offer the utmost luxury – outdoor rain showers, gaint bronze bathtubs, rooftop saunas, hot tubs and more – while others allow you to get in among the branches in a more paired-back, simple setting. Whether you’re a luxury lover, or just seeking a peaceful retreat in the forest, we’re confident we’ll know somewhere to suit, be it England, Scotland or Wales. Browse some of our options below now and use our filters to refine your search further.
