Free from internet connection and furnished with copper baths, the Lanrick Treehouses, found near Doune in Stirlingshire, are fully designed to help you ‘get away from it all.’
Husband and wife Simon and Louisa Dickson started building their dream project in February this year on the family farm.
Despite a few delays due to coronavirus, the treehouses are now open for guests to come and use for a holiday in nature.
"If you want to get away from it all for a bit, come here,” Louisa said, who has a background working in African travel.
"You can enjoy a warm bubble bath while listening to birdsong in the middle of this beautiful forest.
"It’s basic in terms of no wifi, but the treehouses are opulent inside and you can enjoy escaping from the busy world in great comfort.”
Here are some pictures and further information about the stunning wooden huts suspended among some of Stirlingshire’s woodland.

1. Luxury furnishings
All the treehouses are one bedroom, but also come equipped with a sofa bed that can sleep two children (under 12) which makes the place ideal for a couple or family getaway. Each of the huts have a different name, named after birds, and take a slightly different style to each other. The one pictured here is Nuthatch, which is designed with a more luxurious look to the others, according to Louisa. Photo: Lanrick Treehouses
2. Made from Larch
All the treehouses are made from Larch, a species of tree growing in the forest on Lanrick estate. Louisa said she and Simon wanted to build the huts for people to enjoy the peace and quiet, but in the least intrusive way possible to ensure they are still protecting the forest on the family farm. The picture shows the inside of Nuthatch and the impressive woodwork used to make the treehouses. Photo: Lanrick Treehouses
3. Copper baths
Copper baths have been installed on the porch of each treehouse to allow guests to enjoy a warm dip outside. "Even though the weather is a bit cold at the moment, you can sit and enjoy a warm bath outside while listening to the birds and admiring the beautiful forest around you," Louisa said, "and we chose copper because we love the aesthetic and they also last a long time."

4. Scandy style
Pipit is one of the treehouses furnished with a Scandinavian look. The picture shows a peep inside its bedroom. Both Louisa and Simon designed and furnished all the treehouses themselves. With a background in working for safari travel companies in Africa, the 31-year-old from Inverness has an eye for what holidaymakers like. Photo: Lanrick Treehouses
