There’s a kind of magic in arriving somewhere that feels hybrid — half forest home, half romantic hideaway. Woodland Chase Treehouse, hidden near Campbell’s Farm in Northumberland, gives you exactly that: the rustle of leaves, wide sky, cozy interiors, and touches of luxury in just the right places.
You walk through woodland glades, past fields, until you see it: timber structure, elevated, framed by trees. Stepping inside, you’re greeted by carved wood furnishings, curves and grains that echo branches. There’s even a tree integrated into the design — doubling as a coat rack near the door. Underfloor heating hums below your feet. The living area feels snug but never cramped, a space made for soft evenings and quiet laughter.
The kitchen is beautifully simple: stocked with basics (milk, tea, coffee, butter), and outfitted well enough for meals. There’s light, windows on all sides, and a breakfast bar to watch the world change through dawn. As a touch of welcome, there’s often a hamper — local produce, handmade chocolates, a bottle of Prosecco — a small reminder that someone here cares about your stay.
In the bedroom, the handcrafted bed is the centrepiece. You can lie back and let treetops frame your sight. A remote blind lets you shift the forest light on a whim. Wake up with birdsong, stretch, stay still for a moment. It’s rare to have a room feel both wild and intimate.
Outside, the decking extends the magic. A sunken wood-fired hot tub invites you to soak under sky (maybe even snowflakes, if you’re lucky). Loungers fashioned from old whiskey barrels lean into rustic chic. Below the deck, a double swing creaks softly. A fire pit waits, ready for marshmallows, stories, or quiet warmth when breath shows in evening air.
While the treehouse itself is the draw, its surroundings add quietly. The land slopes toward views across farmland, and on clearer evenings, you might see the coast’s low line in the distance. The hush is real: no traffic hum, no neon glare. Just forest shadows, wind, and your own pulse.
Rates start around €250 per night (seasonal variance may apply). The minimum stay isn’t always rigid, though weekends often fill fast. It’s not bargain lodging, but it doesn’t feel overdone. It’s romantic, intentional, reference-rich without being fussy. When you leave — and you will — you’ll carry an itch to return, or at least a memory of scents, silence, soft light, and being carried somewhere quiet enough to hear yourself breathe.
If I were you, I’d stay longer. Morning mists, evening embers, slow coffee. Let the forest settle in. Let something that feels old and ancient be yours, if only briefly. Woodland Chase isn’t just a stay — it’s a pause you wish would last.
