Set in the lovely village of Bishop Wilton, just 12 miles from York and a stone’s throw from the Yorkshire Wolds Way, it was established by owner Ruth Rowland and her family in 2011 from a desire to share this unspoilt, rural area with like-minded people. We can’t picture a more romantic setting to start married life in than up the spiral staircase of The Treehouse. Its lavish interiors feature a king-size bed, en suite, kitchen and open-plan living room with flatscreen TV. Outside on the deck guests find their own hot tub and the etched glass balustrade is the perfect place to survey the wildlife and enjoy stunning countryside views. “It’s been my passion since childhood to build a treehouse,” Ruth tells us. “I’m so excited to see it completed – it’s a dream come true.” Find out more at woldsedge.co.uk YOUR ESSENTIALS 9
