The details
Prepare to be dazzled by this extraordinary treehouse in the Dorset woodland, where nautical-inspired architecture, luxurious touches and a wonderfully secluded setting combine to create a truly unforgettable escape for two. Suspended above a babbling stream and decorated in striking First World War battleship camouflage, Dazzle Treehouse is an architectural masterpiece, recognised with a prestigious RIBA South West award in 2023.
Your adventure begins as you cross a gangplank to board this remarkable woodland hideaway. Designed by Guy Mallinson and his team, the treehouse takes inspiration from the ships of the Royal Navy, with funnels on the roof, yacht-style decking and a prow-shaped terrace extending over the water. A spectacular glass spine runs through the centre of the building, flooding the interiors with natural light and offering beautiful views of the leafy canopy overhead.
Inside, you'll discover a wonderfully inviting space where clever design meets contemporary comfort. A sumptuous king size bed with a dual-control electric blanket promises restful nights, while a ceramic wood-burning stove sits between the bedroom and living area, keeping everything deliciously cosy. There's a comfortable sitting area with books and games, a fully equipped kitchen with a Nespresso machine and a stylish ensuite shower room with a flushing loo and heated towel rail.
Outside is where the magic really happens. Slip into the circular hot tub on the rear deck and gaze up through the trees, perhaps with a glass of something chilled as the stars begin to appear. Fire up the wood-fired pizza oven for a delicious alfresco supper or gather around the fire pit as darkness settles over the forest. There's also a barbecue and hammock, perfect for lazy afternoons surrounded by birdsong.
Perhaps the most enchanting feature is the cargo-net day bed suspended directly above the stream. Stretch out with a book, listen to the water trickling beneath you and enjoy the wonderful sensation of floating amongst the trees. It's the sort of place where hours disappear without you noticing.
Although you'll be tempted to spend your entire stay enjoying this remarkable retreat, there's plenty to discover nearby. Wander through the woodland to The Tytherleigh Arms for a delicious pub lunch, visit River Cottage for fantastic local food or head to the beautiful Jurassic Coast. The charming seaside town of Lyme Regis is well worth exploring, with its beaches, independent shops and excellent seafood restaurants.
