‘Dazzle’ at Guy Mallinsons Woodland Retreat
With its distinctive camouflage design, working alongside the flickering light and shade of the Forest, Dazzle is the new adults only escape by Guy Mallinson at the amazing Woodland Retreats.
Built between two mature oaks using local materials and with zero impact to the surrounding woodland, this inspired eco retreat is a wonder of craftsmanship.
Continuing the nautical theme, gangplank walkways, rooftop funnels, yacht deck floors and a prow-shaped deck all lend to the air of surreality and escape. Never one for the ordinary, Guy’s tree houses are always a masterclass of pure wonderland magic.
With a spacious rear deck suspended over the woodland stream below and sheltered beneath a whispering oak canopy, the outdoor living area boasts a playground of delights.
Cook yourself a fresh alfresco Valentines dinner on the barbecue or in the wood fired pizza oven, recline on the cargo net day bed whilst the stars appear one by one in the twilight, before sinking into the sumptuous round copper hot tub beneath the glimmering night sky.
