Trawscwm Treehouse
Trawscwm Treehouse
Awake from a deliciously deep sleep to the chorus of birdsong between the branches of an old oak. Marvel at the indulgence of your getaway in leafy luxury. Trawscwm (pronounced ‘trouscum’) treehouse is an oasis of seclusion where you can forget the outside world. With no phone signal or Wi-Fi it’s a chance to disconnect from your devices, and reconnect with your family.
Built entirely by owners John and Laura, Trawscwm Treehouse sits in rolling fields on a working family farm in Mid Wales. With only the sheep and birds for company, this luxurious location promises privacy in an oasis of greenery. To access the treehouse, bundle your essentials into a wheelbarrow, pull on your wellies, and wander across the fields.You’ll leave your cares further behind with each step. Cross a wooden footbridge over a stream that curls around the base of the treehouse. Leave the hammock for later, and the mini treehouse-playhouse and climb the timber steps to explore your dreamy holiday home.
Inside
The interiors are rustic with cool, quirky pieces. Trawscwm is an open-plan oasis of natural timber and contemporary charm. Experience floor-to-ceiling views of the little valley from your shower or roll top bath. Or curl up in an armchair with a book while your other half whips up a tasty dinner in the well-equipped kitchen. Or why not book the private chef?
Outside
Large double doors open up to the outdoors, fields, trees and sunsets. A wide wrap-around deck provides many a perch for wildlife watching. It won’t take long to succumb to the bubbles of the hot tub, offering sensational soaks beneath the branches. There is also a hammock suspended from the stilts below, as well as an extended outdoor area with games for little ones and a firepit, perfect for toasting marshmallows beneath the starry skies.
Nearby
Perfectly placed for a vast array of adventures and activities, Trawscwm is only a short drive from the wild beauty and awe-inspiring dams of the Elan Valley. The poet Shelley walked all the way here from London and made it his home.
