Liberty Treehouse blends accessible design with woodland calm — a space shaped by freedom, inclusion and the quiet rhythms of the forest. As the only fully accessible TreeDwellers stay, it offers step-free access, wider doors and family-friendly features. This guide explores its namesake, design philosophy, local flavours and forest-led sanctuary.
The Meaning Behind Liberty
Liberty’s Namesake
Liberty takes its name from the liberty cap or Psilocybe semilanceata — a humble field mushroom associated with freedom, rebellion and personal renewal. Its conical shape mirrors the Phrygian cap, a historic symbol of liberation during European revolutions.

Historical Significance
Across history, the Phrygian cap symbolised autonomy and equality — a reminder that freedom is both a personal state and a collective pursuit. Liberty Treehouse carries this quiet symbolism into the forest: a place to breathe, expand, and reset.
A Scientific Curiosity
The liberty cap mushroom also features in modern research for its potential wellbeing applications — a meeting point of ancient symbolism and new scientific exploration. Liberty honours the idea of expanded perspective, expressed through inclusive design and sensory calm.
Together, these threads—freedom, symbolism and curiosity—inform the very ethos behind Liberty Treehouse.
A Retreat Shaped by Freedom & Inclusivity
A Space Designed for Everyone

“Liberty’s design harmonises elegance with accessibility, making it a welcoming forest retreat for all guests.” — Tim Rees, TreeDwellers Director
Family-Friendly by Design
Liberty is also the only treehouse suitable for children under 8, making it ideal for young families seeking immersive yet peaceful woodland stays. With two bedrooms, cosy furnishings, and serene forest views, it is a nurturing space for shared memories.
This philosophy extends into the fabric of the space itself.
Inside Liberty — Design, Comfort and Calm
Liberty sleeps up to five guests across two bedrooms, with two king-size beds and a single sofa-bed. Interiors combine tactile textures, sunlight, and warm wood tones to create a grounded, serene atmosphere.
Large windows frame the surrounding woodland, blurring indoors and outdoors. The curved exterior and generous deck create a soft architectural rhythm that wraps around the trees.
