The Pinwheel Treehouse

Tucked away in a secluded woodland glade and embraced by the gentle arms of ancient oaks, Pinwheel Treehouse feels as though it has grown naturally among the trees. This serene escape is a celebration of slow living, where life slows to the rhythm of rustling leaves and the beauty of the forest becomes your constant companion.

Inspired by the playful simplicity of a child’s pinwheel, this award-winning treehouse—crafted by Guy Mallinson and architect Keith Brownlie—blends whimsy with elegance. It’s a space designed to reconnect you with nature, with your loved one, and with the unhurried art of being.

Why You’ll Love It

Every moment at Pinwheel Treehouse feels like an invitation to pause and delight in the little things:

• Award-Winning Design: A proud RIBA South West Award winner, Pinwheel Treehouse combines sweeping timber curves with reflective glass, creating a space that invites the forest in while offering complete privacy.
• Natural Comforts: Sunlight streams through floor-to-ceiling windows, while a wood-burning stove keeps you warm as you watch the trees sway gently outside.
• Soothing Simplicity: Every detail, from the skylit king-sized bed to the bubbling hot tub, is designed to help you embrace comfort without distraction.
• Playful Touches: Toast marshmallows over the firepit, swing side by side under the canopy of oaks, or simply lose yourself in the serenity of the surrounding woodland.

Here, life feels effortlessly simple, yet endlessly special.

Step Inside

Pinwheel Treehouse’s unique cross-shaped layout combines clever design with cosy intimacy, offering all the comforts of a luxury woodland escape:

• Living Area: Lounge in plush seating beneath a glass-topped ceiling, where sunlight dances by day and stars twinkle by night.
• Fully Equipped Kitchen: Wake to the smell of freshly brewed coffee from the Nespresso machine, and let the day unfold from there.
• En Suite Shower Room: Unwind in a space where natural textures meet modern design—complete with a refreshing shower.
• Dreamy Bedroom: Drift off in the king-sized bed, surrounded by the soft warmth of wood and the quiet of the forest.

Your Private Deck

Step outside to a spacious deck that invites you to live at nature’s pace:

• Hot Tub Under the Stars: Relax into the warm bubbles and let the woodland surround you as you soak away your cares.
• Two-Person Swing: Share quiet moments or shared laughter, suspended in a gentle rhythm beneath the trees.
• Alfresco Dining: From a wood-fired pizza oven to a firepit and BBQ, every meal feels like an occasion to savour.

Whether it’s the glow of the firepit at dusk or the quiet hum of the forest at dawn, the deck is where memories are made.

Explore the Area

While Pinwheel Treehouse feels worlds away, it’s perfectly placed to explore Dorset’s natural treasures:

• Stroll the gardens of Forde Abbey, or take a coastal walk along the breathtaking Jurassic Coast.
• Fossil hunt at Charmouth, or enjoy a tasting at the local gem, Black Cow Vodka Distillery.
• Satisfy your taste buds with a meal at River Cottage or explore the seasonal flavours at Bridport Farmers’ Market.

For those who prefer a quieter pace, the forest itself offers plenty—take a meandering walk, watch for wildlife, or simply listen to the trees whispering in the breeze.

Who Will Love It

Pinwheel Treehouse is ideal for couples craving an escape from the noise of everyday life. Whether you’re soaking in the hot tub, cosying up by the fire, or swaying on the swing beneath the stars, this is a place to rekindle your connection—with nature, with each other, and with life’s simplest joys.

If your dates aren’t available, its award-winning sibling, Dazzle Treehouse, offers an equally enchanting treetop escape.
