A spiral staircase leads you up into King Arthur's Willow Treehouse, and from that first step onto the outer deck you understand this is something different. The treehouse sits at Mill Farm Glamping in Poulshot, near Devizes in Wiltshire — a multi-level structure sleeping six, built around the idea that a woodland retreat should feel genuinely extraordinary rather than merely rustic. Wide verandas wrap the upper deck, a gas BBQ waits beside a large statement dining table, and fields roll away in every direction. Ducks move along a stream below and deer occasionally drift past the treeline.
Inside, the centrepiece stops you mid-step. An actual tree trunk rises through the living space, catching light from the windows, with a dining table arranged around its base. A wood-burning stove anchors the sitting area, where sofas pull close and the evening slows down. Twisted-branch bed frames, wooden trunks repurposed as doorframes and structural details, and chairs that look grown rather than built give the interior its character. The effect is rustic without being rough — nature-inspired design that holds genuine comfort.
Three bedrooms handle a group of six with thought and personality. The master on the main level has a four-poster bed and polished furnishings. The Treasure Room, reached by a further climb, is the most theatrical of the three: twin beds sit beneath panoramic skylights that frame a direct view of open sky. A third bedroom below offers twin beds that convert to a double, giving families or mixed groups useful flexibility. The bathroom earns its moment too — a Jacuzzi-style bath, rainfall shower and wet-room layout that manages to feel generous without unnecessary fuss.
Outside, a hot tub on the deck lets you settle among the treetops. Deck nooks and corners invite unhurried exploration. As part of Mill Farm, the treehouse sits within reach of alpaca walks, donkey rides, archery and farm tours — a useful bonus when the weather or the mood calls for activity beyond the treehouse itself. Wiltshire rewards day trips too. Stonehenge is one of the most recognised landmarks in southern England and sits within striking distance. Longleat Safari Park and the picture-postcard village of Castle Combe add further options. Autumn brings golden fields and a storybook atmosphere; spring keeps the countryside green and the light long into the evening.
Nightly rates run approximately £100–£200, varying by season and availability, placing this squarely in the moderate-premium tier for distinctive glamping in southern England. It suits couples wanting seclusion, families with older children, or a group of six friends after something more considered than standard camping. The combination of architectural detail, outdoor space, farm activity and Wiltshire countryside access is genuinely hard to replicate at this scale.
Melksham train station is the nearest rail option, approximately 9 km away in straight-line distance. Trowbridge station lies roughly 12 km out and is served by several train services including lines on the CDF–PMH, GCR–WEY, SWI–WSB and WSB–SWI routes. A bus stop at The Green sits around 1.7 km from the property. Poulshot is a small rural village, and most visitors will find a car the most practical way to arrive and explore the surrounding area.
