A More Sustainable Stay

The Hudnalls Hideout has been thoughtfully created with its woodland setting in mind, combining luxurious comfort with choices designed to reduce its environmental impact. Solar energy helps power the treehouse, while its insulation and underfloor heating help it stay comfortable throughout the year.

The suspended bioethanol fire provides warmth without the need for a traditional wood-burning stove, while environmentally friendly cleaning products and toiletries have been chosen with the surrounding environment in mind. The wildflower meadow also provides an important habitat for local wildlife, complementing the woodland that surrounds the treehouse.

The Hudnalls Hideout also supports local businesses and initiatives, helping to make the wider community part of the experience. With Gold accreditation from Green Tourism, sustainability is an important part of how this secluded retreat has been created and cared for.
