Pipit’s Hide is a luxury ground-floor wheelchair accessible lodge with private hot tub whirlpool bath and private large decking area that can sleep up to 3 people. Pipit’s Hide is also pet-friendly.

As any bird enthusiast will know, pipit’s are ground nesting birds so Pipit’s Hide is unique for a few reasons. Along with the facilities that you can enjoy in the other lodges, Pipit’s Hide has additional features such as its ground-floor location meaning ease of access for anyone travelling with chronic illness like me. If you would like to read about my Lyme Disease journey you can on our website. Since you are going to be spending time in a forest setting it is an important read to help you to become more tick aware and the diseases that they carry.

Pipit’s Hide has an enchanting view into the forest at ground level, perfect for watching birds foraging! It has a larger floor space and a larger bathroom and shower area, than the tree-top lodges. The interior is large enough to cater for three adults, sharing one king-size bed and one stylish sofa bed.

Take a whirpool bath under the trees at your luxury treehouse Ireland

Bring a whole new meaning to forest bathing by enjoying a private outdoor whirlpool bath for two under the trees. Each bath is supplied with with 20 hydrotherapy massage jets, chromotherapy LED mood lighting and in-line heater. They are romantically covered in moss so that you can enjoy the luxuries of modern day living while also feeling extremely connected to nature.

Before your treehouse Ireland stay you will be sent a questionaire by the team at Burrenmore Nest asking for your preffered bathing time. Your bath will be ready for you at the time you requested. It was the highlight of our stay to greet the sunset with a glass of bubbles and was most certainly a unique experience.

Things not to miss in the area

Explore the wider 100 acres of National Trust estate, free to public access – including the Downhill Demense, the Black Glen and gardens at Bishop’s Gate. Walk or drive to Downhill and Benone strand to enjoy miles upon miles of sweeping sandy beach or pop over to Castlerock for food, drink or surf.

Or simply explore the nearby forest and walk along the two marked pathways at Downhill forest. Downhill Forest is a small mixed woodland of 83 hectares just inland from the North Coast of Northern Ireland, near Castlerock. The forest was originally part of the estate of Frederick Harvey, the 4th Earl of Bristol and Bishop of Derry, which included Downhill Castle, now maintained by The National Trust.

A walk through Downhill Forest will allow you to view one of Northern Irelands widest trees, a Sitka spruce that would take ten people touching hands to circle it! You will also find an Early Christian Promontory Fort and an old water powered sawmill with its leat running round the small lake in the middle of this glorious woodland.
