Treetop Hideaways, Woodhall Spa:  The allure of treehouse living and a visit from Grand Designs

Treetop Hideaways were delighted to be chosen as a filming location for the Ch4 TV production company “Grand Designs”. They chose Treetop Hideaways because of its beautiful, simplistic treehouse design and stunning location. This will be used as an introduction to their new series to set the ethos of the show.

There’s something enchanted about staying in a treehouse. Perhaps it’s the childhood nostalgia of climbing trees and building forts, or the allure of a secluded and unique experience. Whatever the reason may be, treehouses have become popular for those seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. From the moment you climb up the stairs and enter your elevated abode, you feel a sense of detachment from the world below. The natural surroundings, the rustling of leaves, and the gentle sway of the branches all create a calming and peaceful atmosphere, a feeling of being suspended, floating above the woodland floor!

Jenny Caswell, owner of Treetop Hideaways, created these dwellings on a stunning 17 acre piece of woodland with mature oaks, silver birches, pines and amazing 30ft rhododendron bushes. Lakes meander within this woodland with their breathtaking hidden islands.

When guests climb the steps leading up to their treetop hideaway they are greeted with views overlooking the beautiful meandering lake. There’s the excitement of opening the treehouse doors and seeing nature mirrored inside. The vaulted ceilings with beams resembling a majestic tree, locally handmade décor made from trees on the property, fluffy, grey cushions representing the feathers of the Owl, the emerald green satin imitating the Kingfisher’s plume, the copper baths highlighting the brilliance of the evening sunsets……

If guests are seeking adventure, their private rowing boat anchored to the mooring platform is ready to explore the twists and turns of the lake and the overhanging branches where all sorts of birds and animals hide out. Or maybe relaxing in the sunshine on the terrace with a good book is more their style.

After an adventurous or restful afternoon they are usually ready to run a steamy bath with bubbly suds and rose petals in their large, outdoor bath to enjoy bathing alfresco under the nighttime sky.

If more adventure is called for, the outdoor fire pit is stocked with kindling and logs ready to grill an evening meal or toast marshmallow. Hammocks are there too, suspended amongst the glorious rhododendrons, providing a restful and playful place to be until dinner is served.

After waking up to the dawn chorus, another exciting day awaits. There’s still lots to discover including the walking trails of the 17 acre woodland, riding bikes on the local trails, enjoying a stroll in the historical village of Woodhall Spa, afternoon tea at The Petwood Hotel, sampling delightful local fare in the numerous eateries, browsing unique boutiques, visiting the iconic Tattershall Castle, golf at the world-renowned Hotchkin Course…..

Or simply switch off, relax and enjoy the peace and tranquility high in the treetops and let worries drift away.
