Nymetwood Treehouses

Embark on a tranquil getaway at Nymetwood Treehouses, nestled in the lush countryside of Dartmoor, UK. This family-run retreat is set in 20 acres of woodland, meadow and orchard, teeming with wildlife and overlooking the vast expanse of Dartmoor.

At Nymetwood, tranquillity has a new meaning. Amid the rustling of leaves and the chirping of birds, the retreat features luxurious treehouse cabins – Blackcap and Starling – meticulously crafted by local craftsman Emmanuel Hendry. Lovingly constructed over two years, these Scandinavian-inspired dwellings made from local, sustainable materials harmonise with their surroundings while providing a luxurious escape.

Both treehouses literally elevate your stay under the canopy. The Blackcap is perched on a hilltop with sweeping views, while the Starling nestles in the forest’s whisper. Each treehouse is designed for comfort, with a super king-size bed on a mezzanine, a cosy wood-burning stove and a deck with a large, luxurious copper bath.

The living areas in Blackcap and Starling have fully equipped kitchens and shower rooms. But it’s the outdoors that will captivate you – whether it’s a morning coffee with panoramic views or an evening soak under the stars. Despite the rural setting, the allure of Devon and Cornwall’s many attractions are within reach from the Nymetwood Treehouses and waiting to be explored.

Nymetwood is not just a retreat; it’s an experience that redefines the essence of reconnecting – with nature, with loved ones and with yourself. The absence of Wi-Fi is a deliberate choice to focus your attention on the natural symphony around you.

Activities in and around Nymetwood tap into the heart of Devon. Dartmoor National Park invites you to explore its ancient woods and heathlands, while local pubs such as The Duck and The Tom Cobley Tavern offer a taste of Devon’s culinary delights and ales. For the historically minded, Castle Drogo and Tintagel Castle are a stone’s throw away and offer a glimpse into the region’s rich past.

For the more adventurous, nearby Haytor reveals Dartmoor’s largest tor, while unspoilt Woolacombe Beach promises golden sands and surfable waves. At Nymetwood, every moment is an opportunity to savour the simplicity and beauty of life away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
