This is a little bit cozier than your normal nest in the trees. From the king-size bed to the sofa by the wood burner and the incredible bathtub out on the deck, Dabinett Treehouse is a chic, stylish haven. Now enhanced with our latest addition, a new room designed to elevate your experience. This room includes a smart TV with Netflix for your entertainment, a gas-powered firepit for warmth, and comfy bean bags with blankets to snuggle into during cooler times.
Sip your morning coffee looking out across miles of the Somerset levels, nip over to the neighbouring vineyard to pick up a bottle of something special, then bathe under the stars at the end of a perfect day of indulgence. Enjoy authentic culinary experiences with our new gas-powered Gozney pizza oven and a traditional Tandoor oven for delightful Indian cuisine, complete with authentic Neapolitan pizza packages available on our extras page. A drinks cooler is also installed to keep your lovely drinks at the perfect temperature.
If you want to work up an appetite, then head off on great local walks in the Mendips, with Ebor Gorge and the stunning views from Deer’s Leap both local favourites, or jump on the Dutch vintage bikes to explore further afield.
There’s Wells Cathedral for a bit of history, food festivals, carnivals and the Frost Fayre in various seasons, and even a local goat farm where you can pick up some fabulous cheese.
If you don’t fancy cooking, then take your pick from any of three walkable pubs: The Pheasant Inn at the end of the lane which runs behind the treehouse, The Burcott, or the Ring O’Bells in Wookey.
In the treehouse, you’ll find everything you need for a quiet evening in. Throw the doors open if the weather’s good, light the wood burner if it’s chilly, then either fire up the Weber BBQ or cook in the indoor combi oven, before a post-prandial coffee from the Nespresso machine.
As well as the bath out on the deck, there’s a flushing loo and a drench shower in the bathroom, although you’d be mad not to have at least one amazing soak outdoors.
The whole space has been beautifully crafted to immerse you in the quiet of the country. You’ll hear the birds in the morning, maybe owls hunting at dawn and dusk, and possibly catch sight of deer foraging in the woods around you.
With the Mendips on your doorstep and the vineyard just next door, it’s the perfect place for a few days of hearty hiking, lazy bathing, culinary delights, and everything in between.
