Nestled in the ancient woodlands of the Cornbury Estate near Charlbury, TreeDwellers offers a unique escape into nature. Opening at the end of summer, the retreat features seven treehouses designed for relaxation and comfort. Founder Tim Rees spent over seven years developing the project, ensuring that each accommodation blends seamlessly with the surrounding forest. Guests can enjoy modern amenities, including a comfortable bedroom, a working kitchen, hot and cold water, and even a Sonos sound system. However, the real appeal lies outside, where the peaceful atmosphere allows visitors to unwind. Whether listening to the sounds of the forest, soaking in an oversized bath, or warming up by a log burner, TreeDwellers provides an immersive experience in nature.
Beyond the treehouses, the retreat offers communal spaces that encourage relaxation and mindfulness. A large ‘forest megaphone’ allows visitors to sit and absorb the sounds of nature, while yoga and meditation sessions provide additional wellness options. For those who prefer exploring, footpaths lead to scenic walks, with the nearby village of Finstock offering local charm and dining at the Plough Inn. Despite the rising costs of staycations, TreeDwellers remains competitively priced at approximately $283 per night, making it an attractive alternative to traditional countryside hotels. Waking up surrounded by trees, away from the noise of daily life, makes this woodland retreat a refreshing and peaceful getaway.
