Feel all the delights of life in the forest, without tormentng with the installation of tents and campfires, is now possible in the UK. In Dorset, the designer Guy Mallinson built an unusual house, designed specifically for this pastime.
The setting is the Crafty Camping glamping site near Axminster in Dorset. In appearance it resembles a nest, but only improved one.
The house in Dorset is one of the most expensive in the world, belonging to the category of so-called "nests" - housing built on the trees. The cost of living in such house starts from 390 pounds (about $500 US dollars) per day.
This unusual home is located on the branches of a huge multi-year oak. It provides a fireplace, which is able to warm guests, and does no harm to the tree.
Beds in this exclusive mansion are not inferior to any luxury beds in the expensive European hotels.
Adventures begin already at the door. To enter the house, you need to walk on a wooden bridge. However, then, the pleasant moments begin - comfortable chairs, a hammock and a fine place to cook outdoors pizza.
As in any self-respecting house, the "nest"-mansion has a shower. It is located outside, but not visible from the earth. This shower is not the only thing: in the house there are bath and sauna.
The kitchen in this house is made in the urban style. Only paintings on the walls and the overall color of the village, along with wooden furniture remind of nature.
In the camp area there are also some yurts with a sauna and a library. For visitors, Crafty Camping provides woodworking courses lasting from two hours to five days.
