Squirrel’s Nest Treehouse

Squirrel’s Nest is a magical combination of clean Scandi style and childlike wonder, with a spiral staircase that carries you up into the trees and away into another world. While you won’t want for any home comforts - the bed, kitchen and bathroom are all modern and top class - you can wrap nature around you as you sit out on the deck with a glass of wine, listening to the birds or waiting for the rustling of a deer. You can cook in nature as well, with a pizza oven and a choice of outdoor seating spots, as well as the unique bbq hut, which you’ll find over a small bridge onto an island in the pond by the treehouse.

Owners Lisa and Richard, who’s house is 40m behind Squirrel’s Nest, fell in love with the area a few years ago and wanted to create a place that would help guests do the same. They’ll mainly leave you to it, but you’ll find plenty of info on great local pubs like the Miner’s Arms, hiking, biking and kayaking in the Wye Valley and walks through the Forest of Dean. If you keep quiet and stay sharp, you might even see the elusive wild boar that roam those peaceful woods. There’s a sculpture trail nearby, a steam railway and some striking caves at Clearwell, with the firepit below as the perfect place to settle when you get back, toast a marshmallow or two and reflect on the day’s adventures.

“We stayed for 2nights and it was perfect. The small hut with BBQ on the lake was perfect for the evenings to have a BBQ and drinks by the fire. The treehouse was clean and very well equipped and our hosts were very welcoming. We visited Puzzle wood and other amazing woodland walks and cycle routes nearby and was perfect for an outdoors adventure.”

“Absolutely fantastic place. High quality tree house, no expense spared on interior and the grounds. Lovely place.”
