FAQs

Your questions answered.

No doubt you’ll have questions. And we have the answers.

If anything’s not covered in our comprehensive FAQs below, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Our friendly team will be more than happy to help.

Can I book just one night?

Our Treehouses are designed for slow living, for soaking up stillness, forest air and starlit skies. So we have a two-night minimum stay. This helps protect the woodland and gives you the full experience. If you’ve been invited to a wedding at Elmore Court, do chat with your host about single-night options.

Can children stay in the treehouses?

They can; some of our treehouses have additional beds perfect for little adventurers. Adder, Wildcat & Kite each have one extra bed, while Earth & Sky have two. Babes in arms stay free of charge.

What is the treehouse sleeping capacity?

Each Elmore Wild treehouse is thoughtfully designed for comfort and connection with nature. All treehouses accommodate two adults as standard.

Adder, Wildcat and Kite each include one additional bed, perfect for a child or extra adult. Earth and Sky provide two additional beds, ideal for families or small groups.

Whether it’s a cosy escape for two or a family adventure, there’s a treehouse to suit every stay.

Can I bring my four-legged friend?

Two of our dog-friendly treehouses, Adder and Earth, welcome your furry companions for a nature-filled getaway. These treehouses are exclusively bookable through Canopy & Stars; click here to book. To make life easier for muddy paws, we also provide a dog wash station, so your pup can enjoy your woodland adventure without the mess.

What amenities are included?

We’ve thought of everything, from soft linen and handmade toiletries to kitchen essentials and freshly ground coffee. You’ll find oil, salt and pepper ready for cooking, plus heating, WIFI and plenty of cosy corners to relax in.

What should we bring with us?

The Elmore Wild treehouses come fully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable, magical stay in the woods. From shampoo and towels to cutlery and cookware, we’ve got the essentials covered.

All you need to bring is yourself and any additional food or personal treats if you haven’t pre-ordered from our treehouse food menu. A quick note on condiments: we provide oil, salt and pepper, but please bring any extra sauces or seasonings you like.

Relax, unwind, and let the woodlands do the rest!

How do we get to our Elmore Wild treehouse?

The easiest way to reach us is by car. Each treehouse comes with two dedicated parking spaces, making arrival and departure simple and stress-free. If you prefer public transport, you can take a train to Gloucester Station, followed by a short taxi ride to the estate.

Whether by car or train, your woodland escape is just a journey away.

Is there parking?

Each treehouse has its own private parking area with space for two cars. It’s easy, secure and just a short walk from your canopy escape.

How do we access our treehouse?

On the day of your stay, you’ll receive a digital access key via email. Simply hold your phone or device against the black access box beside your treehouse door and a green light will indicate it’s unlocked.

It’s a seamless, key-free way to start your woodland retreat the moment you arrive.

What time can we check in and out?

You can check in after 3pm. Your digital access key will be sent on the morning of your arrival and activates from 3pm, giving you a seamless start to your Elmore Wild stay.

You must check out by 11am; please ensure your treehouse is vacated by this team so our team can prepare for the next guests.

When do we receive our digital access key?

You will receive your digital treehouse access key on the day of arrival. Usually, this arrives between an hour and a few minutes before you reach your treehouse, ensuring a smooth and stress-free check-in experience at Elmore Wild.

Is there WIFI?

While we encourage guests to disconnect and immerse themselves in nature, our treehouses also feature fast-fibre WIFI for those who need to stay connected. Enjoy the best of both worlds: peaceful woodland retreat with optional connectivity.

Is there heating in the treehouses?

Absolutely! Each Elmore Wild treehouse is designed for cozy, year-round comfort. The bathroom features underfloor heating and there’s a bedroom radiator, both powered by an energy-efficient air source heat pump and green electricity when needed.

The interiors are super-insulated with triple-glazed windows, while a wood-burning stove adds extra warmth and ambience. Want it extra toasty? Just ask and we can adjust the internal temperature to suit you.

Can I cook in the treehouse?

Yes, each Treehouse has a fully equipped kitchenette with a hob, oven, fridge and everything you’ll need for a delicious woodland feast. Or, if you’d rather not cook, you can pre-order one of our local hampers or ready-to-heat meals.

How can I go wild swimming?

Dive into nature at Madam’s Pond, Elmore Wild’s magical swimming lake. Perfect for wild swimming experiences in a peaceful, private setting. All swims must be pre-booked directly through us in advance to ensure a safe and enjoyable visit. To find out more go here.

How do I get to Elmore Court from the treehouses?

If you’re attending a wedding at Elmore Court, you can reach the venue easily from your treehouse. There’s a private gate situated along the drive, just before you get to Sky and Kite; head through and follow the path that leads directly up to Elmore Court’s historic house and gardens.

Please note: only wedding guests are permitted beyond this gate, so be sure you’re on the guest list before you wander up!

What wildlife might I see during my stay?

Rewilding is at the heart of what we do. Depending on the season, you might spot deer at dawn, hear owls calling after dark, or see rare birds like herons, harriers and egrets. Foxes, badgers, hares and our longhorn cows roam nearby, with beavers, Iron Age Pigs and Exmoor Ponies coming soon. It’s a true glimpse of nature returning.

Can I explore the rewilding land?

Yes, there are paths and trails that weave through our rewilded landscape, ponds and meadows. We simply ask that you tread gently, close gates behind you, stay on marked routes and keep dogs on leads to protect wildlife and habitats.

Do you offer guided walks or experiences?

We do. You can book wild swimming with Hazel, foraging with Rob or wildlife safaris with Ed. Each offers a different way to experience the land and learn from it. Find out more about our Activities for all.

What do I do at check-out?

Check-out is by 11am. Simply make sure the doors are locked and your digital key will automatically deactivate. No need to drop anything off; just leave the treehouse as you found it and enjoy one last breath of wild Gloucestershire air.

Can I extend my stay or book again with a discount?

We’d love that. If your treehouse is free for another night, we’ll happily extend your stay; just contact us as soon as possible. Returning guests receive early access to future offers and new experiences.

How can I share feedback about my stay?

We love hearing about our guests’ experiences in the trees. After your stay, we’ll send a short feedback form; your insight helps shape future experiences and keeps the wild magic alive.

How do I use the electric car charger?

  1. Download the Project EV Pro App from the Apple Store or Google Play before your stay.
