Pant, Shropshire, England
This hand built treehouse sits directly on Offa's Dyke, the ancient walking route along the England and Wales border in Shropshire. It is deliberately basic: compost toilet, rustic shower, no provided towels, and a requirement to bring drinking water and firewood. The host describes it as enhanced camping, which is an honest framing. Solar power covers phone charging, and a gas hob and barbecue handle cooking.
What sets this apart is the single pitch policy. The host has chosen not to fill the acre of land with multiple units, so occupants have the entire site to themselves. Sunsets from the treehouse are a consistent highlight in reviews. A waterfall is half an hour's walk away. Access involves a bumpy track and wellies are advisable in wet weather. This is a stay for people who value solitude and stripped back simplicity over amenities.
We love the single pitch policy. Having a full acre to yourself, with sunset views over the border country, is worth more than any amount of mod cons.
Guests had a lovely stay in the tree house, praising Tim's hospitality, the beautiful, tranquil setting, and the sense of seclusion despite nearby amenities. Many plan to return.
