Dive right in

This is one of the few places in the area with a pool.
The heated tree cabin is set within a small secluded wood up a steep path. Cedar lined, insulated and oak clad it cantilevers out over a remote mill pond. Wake up in a tranquil heaven only shared with shy wildlife, including deer, hare, the odd badger and a variety of birds. In the cabin are a king-size plus bed, table and chairs, kitchen area with induction plate, microwave oven & toaster. Your own smaller tree cabin, a few trees away, houses a flushing toilet and hand basin with spring water.

The space
Whilst in bed gently falling asleep watch the moon rise over the mill pond and then watch the sun rise the following morning! A romantic getaway for the adventurous couple. Tucked away in a small woodland at the edge of a mill pond you will feel totally secluded as the cabin is difficult to spot from the surrounding areas but the reality is that you are close to public footpaths, a no through road, a village store and the delights of Hebden Bridge. Supplied with electricity and hot and cold spring water you are still part of the 21st Century but at the same time remote from it all. (In fact, so remote, that there is barely any mobile signal or wifi).
There is a quality king size bed, chairs for relaxing and dining and a kitchen area with basic cooking equipment and electric heating. Most 'camping style' cooking and eating essentials are provided including a kettle, toaster, microwave oven and a chiller cabinet. There is also a small portable induction hob and frying pan for use inside or out. A full breakfast is not included, but inside the cabin you will find hotel portion cereals, a bowl of fruit, dairy milk, and of course luxury teas and coffee. Non dairy milk is of course an option but our home made flapjacks simply ooze butter. A few trees away there is your own, smaller tree house with a flushing toilet and hand basin fed with pure spring water. Hot running water, face flannels and towels are provided. There is an external hot and cold alfresco shower down a couple of steps with no hand rail. For the hardy (or foolhardy!) take a short public path past the farm for a dip in an area of the mountain stream that runs over a small fall and into a pool at our lower field. If the weather is inclement or the pipes are frozen we can arrange a time for you to use the shower in the main house but most guests have found that taking a hot alfresco shower in the rain is exhilarating.

Guest access
There are lots of areas outside for you to use and enjoy, several footpaths and cycle ways. There is a secluded area with bench seat by the mill stream where you can enjoy gorgeous views. The steps down to the river are steep and there is no hand rail. For the intrepid there is also swimming (just about) or dipping in the mill stream messing about on the mill pond or simply fishing in it. The nearest pub is The New Delight Inn about a mile away. Good beer and very simple food. Or for a quick snack try the local farm shop for pies and pastries or hand made sandwiches. It is an absolute Aladdin's Cave and also stocks an extensive range of drinks including several single malt whiskies.

Other things to note
We have excellent reviews for cleanliness but we have implemented an enhanced cleaning routine. Pillows and mattresses have additional protective covers that are washed for every guest. All surfaces, switches, handles and taps etc are disinfected. Seating etc is treated with Zoflora. The sleeping area is also the living area so unfortunately "No Pets" definitely does mean no dogs etc! Be watersafe! You are surrounded by mill ponds and a small stream. Strong footwear or wellies if it is raining are recommended. In high summer trainers are adequate. It is about 100 metres from the car parking area to the tree cabin along a steep, partially unlit footpath. If you need a walking stick then this place is probably not for you! After dark a torch is useful but most visitors have managed with light from a phone. Also note no naked flames or fires - Sorry! but you are in a wooden house in a pine forest! Also the 'NO SMOKING' policy really does mean no smoking!! There is an area down by the stream where you can light a BBQ or a fire basket. The Kayak and the kite are not included but the rowing boat might be possible.
