Just a 30-minute drive from central Bristol lies the sleepy village of Wrington. Here, tucked at the back of owners David and Tricia's house, surrounded by fields filled with horses and alpacas, is Uplands Treehouse. Stepping out of the wilderness and into this cosy, self-catered hideaway feels like coming home. Scandi-style floor-to-ceiling windows greet you with views of the Mendip Hills. Curved oak beams, a wood burner and super-comfy king-size bed imbue this place with a sense of hygge. Meanwhile a scenic outdoor shower and spacious balcony immerse you into your surroundings. Special touches don't go amiss, including a photo album detailing the treehouse's creation, a delightful welcome hamper and walking trails recommended by David.

What to Do: Half an hour's walk away, situated within beautiful walled gardens, is The Ethicurean, a Michelin-starred restaurant serving sustainable, seasonal food, botanical cocktails and wonderful fermentations. Stop by the family-run Aldwick Estate for a vineyard tour and a sampling of its award-winning wine. Visit Tyntesfield, a National Trust-revived gothic mansion set among gorgeous grounds or see the dramatic Cheddar Gorge, where a 9,000-year-old human skeleton (Britains' oldest) was found in 1903.

Chewton Glen goes above and beyond, providing outstanding hospitality over 130 acres of Hampshire woodland on the fringe of the New Forest. Among its 72 rooms and suites are 14 eco-friendly luxury treehouses, suspended 35ft above ground, propelling opulence to new heights. Treehouse Studio Suites and Hideaway Suites are designed as sumptuous lovers' getaways. The Hideaway offers a more deluxe experience, with a glass-covered walkway separating an airy bedroom from an open-plan living area, immersing guests in the canopy. The Loft Suite and The Yews accommodate larger groups. All treehouses benefit from beautiful kitchenettes full of treats, and receive breakfast hampers each morning. Under-floor heating and woodburners give living areas a comforting touch, while ultra-glam marble bathrooms feature freestanding forest-view baths, flat-screen TVs, walk-in showers and twin vanity basins. Catch staggering sunsets and wild scrubland from your deck's private hot tub or cosy day beds.

What to Do: Chewton Glen's award-winning beauty spa, 17m swimming pool, hydrotherapy pools, sauna, crystal steam room, gym and sporting facilities epitomise wellness. Savour The Dining Room's afternoon tea or delectable fine dining, with a sommelier advising on more than 1,900 wines. Have an aperitif at the hotel's gentleman's club-style bar to a backdrop of smooth, contemporary tunes. For casual dining, head to The Kitchen which hosts cookery schools and serves seasonal produce from the manor's garden. Get lost in New Forest National Park or trace the picturesque Solent Way, a 60-mile footpath covering the Hampshire coastline and New Forest countryside. If you're visiting in spring or summer, ride a traditional steam train through the dreamy 200-acre Exbury Gardens.
