As the UK enters summer, tourists are starting to flock to popular towns and seaside resorts across the country.
While the British Isles does a great line in cottages, hotels and self-catered accommodation ranging from rustic to contemporary, there’s also a range of quirkier options available when it comes to places to stay.
Log cabins, chalets, yurts, pods, shepherd huts… there’s never been more choice for a relaxing staycation in the wild.
For the ultimate back-to-nature experience though, why not try a treehouse? These offbeat stays offer comfortable, peaceful accommodation in a fairytale woodland setting. Remote locations are coupled with features such as hot tubs, pools and sometimes local wild swimming spots to enable guests to make the most of their time in the great outdoors.
Whether you’re looking to completely cut off from normal life on a digital detox or just want to explore some of the country’s most picturesque spots, coupled with a stay in a unique base, read on to find some of the UK’s best treehouse holidays.

Lanrick can be found on a wide expanse of lush green land in Perthshire, where six treehouses sit peacefully in the Scottish woodlands. The site itself has access to a variety of riverside and woodland walks, opportunities for fly fishing and even a new woodland sauna, but if that isn’t enough for you then the Trossachs National Park is only five minutes away by car. When there, you can enjoy activities such as hiking, climbing, kayaking and wild swimming.
Of the six treehouses, Pipit is arguably the most scenic. Tucked among the trees, this Scandinavian-inspired cabin includes a large deck with electric barbecue and outdoor bath that make for great relaxation and interesting meal times. Inside, the treehouse has high, wooden-beamed ceilings and double doors that open out onto the deck, with modern aesthetic interiors.
