At this enchanting spot for children (and the young at heart), you’ll sleep 9m above the ground in your very own treehouse hideaway. The six Bryn Meurig Bach treehouses (also known as the ‘Living Room’) have views over the serene and secluded valley, which lies deep in the Welsh mountains. The treehouses are all self-sustainable and built on low-impact joins so they don’t harm the trees. On arrival, you’ll walk through the lush Welsh woodland to the site (so remember to bring walking boots).
Each treehouse is reached by a spiral staircase that looks like it’s come straight out of a fairy tale. At the top of the staircase is your main living space. Interiors combine rustic style with a futuristic feel – you’ll find natural materials contrasting with a curved, pod-like ceiling. Continuing the fairy tale, the woodland creeps indoors here with gnarled branches along the ceiling, wooden rails around your terrace and glass-less port holes positioned to let moonlight spill across your pillow.
In the evenings, snuggle up around the comforting wood-burning stove in the centre of each treehouse, which provides not only a cosy atmosphere, but warmth and light, too. The burner also heats your water so that each morning you can have a reinvigorating wash in a warm spring-water shower below the treehouse. There’s also a Swedish compost toilet a short walk from the treehouse.
