TREEHOUSE TOUR
LOCATION

Our treehouses are hidden within an ancient beech woodland at Cowdray, West Sussex. Here you can enjoy various outdoor activities, wellness classes, creative workshops, and country pursuits.

Cowdray is a magnificent location in the heart of the South Downs National Park, just a short drive from London. The woodland setting is carefully preserved, and we offer electric buggies to transport you around.

The treehouses are the epitome of luxury, privacy, and convenience in the centre of a humming country estate. You can easily walk to the famous Polo Lawns, the award-winning Cowdray Farm Shop & Cafe, and the historic town of Midhurst. It’s yours to explore.

A WARM WELCOME

A hamper filled with essentials is waiting for you in your treehouse to help you get settled in. Inside, you'll find bread, milk, and tasty snacks. Additionally, we have a variety of delightful extras available for you to enhance your stay, so you won't need to leave your treehouse.

ELECTRIC BUGGIES

Our Cowdray location is car-free. Park at our Welcome Suite, where we’ll provide an electric buggy for easy access to each treehouse. They operate on designated routes to protect the heritage landscape.

You can also take a scenic 15-minute walk to the treehouses. Plus, there is designated parking for charging electric cars.

Reviews

  • Laura (Stayed Feb 2024)

    The treehouse was superbly equipped, warm, cosy and calm. The location is brilliant, gorgeous farm shop and cafe close by, trees and green everywhere, charming towns close by. The beds are very comfortable, and buggy driving is such an added bonus to the experience. I’d definitely go back.

  • Catherine (Stayed March 2024)

    Perfect staycation. The treehouses are beautifully designed and have everything you need. The outdoor bath and golf buggies are a great addition. The people are very friendly and accommodating. The estate is beautiful. Will be back!

  • Steph (Stayed June 2024)

    We cannot recommend THR enough! We had a 2 night stay and the experience was amazing. The location is beautiful, the interiors were so well designed and it was the little details and touch’s that made such a difference, creating an environment perfect to unwind, relax and enjoy the surrounding nature. We came back so refreshed and recharged, we will definitely be back! Also to mention the staff were very friendly and helpful.

  • Nora (Stayed July 2024)

    Visiting Cowdray British Open Polo Championship I have booked myself at THR. It was incredible. Was staying in Chukka overlooking the castle ruins and polo fields. So beautiful, so cosy, everything is done with so much taste and care for detail. Buggy at your disposal all the time. I really enjoyed buying organic food at the local shop and drived the buggy back to the tree house to enjoy fresh food and glass of wine on the terrase. Paul and Jane were incredibly helpful and nice. Definitely will be back and I can highly recommend it as a peaceful hidaway or a great place to stay when you are in Cowdray for polo or golf.

  • Lucy (Stayed May 2024)

    We had the most perfect stay! From the initial contact with the team when booking and right the way through to checking out, Victoria was a superstar. We stayed in the Muntjac treehouse, everything had been thought of and the interior was stunning. It was peaceful and quiet, perfect to rest and recharge. It served as a great base to explore nearby and it was a delight to come back to each day. I shall definitely be back for another visit and will wholeheartedly recommend to family and friends.

  • Michele (Stayed Feb 2024)

    What a fabulous weekend treat! The Treehouse exceeded our expectations in every way. Beautifully appointed, cosy and calming. The location is excellent- so many options even within walking distance. The local farm shop - superb! The warm welcome from the team - faultless. Thank you so much . It was the perfect treat for my husband’s birthday.
