Book this if You want to bathe in a copper tub high in the canopy while watching rewilded cattle roam the wetlands below.
Why People Love It
- Outdoor copper baths on private decks
- Total seclusion within the Elmore Court Estate's rewilding project
- High-end interiors with wood burners and underfloor heating
Quick Take: It’s a childhood fantasy built with an adult budget, but you better be okay with cooking dinner outdoors in a puffer jacket if you visit in winter.
Reviewed by @georgia: I honestly didn't want to leave this treehouse. The outdoor bath was the highlight of my trip—soaking in hot water while surrounded by trees was unreal. It’s the perfect spot to disconnect and just be together. Highly recommend for a romantic reset.
