FOUR new treehouses – named after British birds – have nested in the grounds of a leading County Durham hotel.

Chaffinch, Robin, Pheasant and Magpie are the latest additions to the wealth of accommodation at Ramside Hall Hotel, Golf and Spa, on the outskirts of Durham city.

And the four have been built to complement the four-star hotel’s four larger treehouses, which are sited nearby but raised on stilts among the trees.

The Northern Echo:

Like their larger counterparts, Chaffinch, Robin, Pheasant and Magpie boast a range of luxuries, from saunas and hot tubs to spectacular, free-standing, copper baths.

Designed to sleep up to four people, the A frame triangular houses are pet friendly and built on two levels, with accommodation suitable for couples or small groups of friends or family.

Each features a bedroom with an ensuite on the upper level and a lounge, toilet and a shower and small kitchen on the lower level, along with a pull-out double bed and an outdoor deck with a hot tub.

Set in the woodland adjacent to the 18th fairway of The Prince Bishops Golf Course their glass frontages give guests unrivalled views over the fairway and green.

The Northern Echo:

And a shuttle is also provided to and from the hotel at check-in, and for guests visiting the hotel’s award-winning spa, golf course and restaurants.

John Adamson, owner of Ramside Hall Hotel, Golf and Spa, said the completion and launching of the new treehouses so soon into the year, “really heralds a fresh new start after the upheaval caused by Covid.

“Working on these has kept us all optimistic,” he said, “and now they are complete and ready to welcome their first guests.”

Prices for the new treehouses start at £495 midweek.
