About us
The people behind the trees
Welcome to Into the Woods — a truly special place to slow down, switch off and reconnect with nature on the beautiful Isle of Wight.
Welcome
A quieter kind
of getaway
Tucked away in the trees on the Isle of Wight, our little woodland retreat offers something a little different. Surrounded by ancient trees, open farmland and wildlife, our treehouses and shepherd’s hideaway are designed to help you escape the everyday and enjoy a more relaxed pace of life.
Whether you’re visiting as a couple, a family, or a small group of friends, everything here is built for taking things slowly — long mornings, a walk to stretch the legs, and an evening spent outside.
Our story
Handbuilt, and
family-run
Into the Woods is very much a hands-on project. All of our accommodation has been handbuilt by owner Will, who has a lifelong love of working with wood and creating things that feel both practical and beautiful. Each structure has been crafted to sit comfortably within its natural surroundings, using thoughtful design, quirky detailing and traditional building techniques wherever possible.
The interiors are designed by owner Fiona, with influences from her love of ski chalets. She brings warmth, character and comfort to each space, using natural materials of wood, slate and stone. Her eye for detail ensures that every treehouse and hut feels welcoming and cosy — a place where you can truly relax as soon as you arrive.
How it grew
The site has evolved naturally over time
- 2012The Roost
The very first build, setting the tone for everything that followed.
- 2013The Shepherd’s Hideaway
Four beautifully crafted shepherd huts, added as a flexible, sociable space.
- 2019The Nest
Our smallest treehouse, designed as a cosy retreat for couples.
Each accommodation has its own personality, but all share the same attention to detail, craftsmanship and love of the outdoors.
Staying with us
Comfortable,
and screen-free
Our spaces combine the charm of outdoor living with the comforts you need for an easy, enjoyable stay. You’ll find proper beds, hot showers, heating, well-equipped kitchens, fresh linen and towels — plus private outdoor areas to relax, eat and soak up the surroundings.
We’ve deliberately kept things simple and screen-free, encouraging guests to unwind, explore the woodland, watch the wildlife and enjoy quality time together.
More than just a place to sleep
Somewhere that feels special and personal
Into the Woods isn’t about luxury in the traditional sense — it’s about thoughtful design, natural materials, and creating somewhere that feels special and personal.
We believe a great holiday goes beyond comfortable accommodation. That’s why we’re on hand to help make your visit extra special — whether that’s through local produce delivery, recommending hidden gems around the island, or arranging thoughtful touches for celebrations and special occasions.
Whether you’re here for a weekend or a longer escape, we hope you leave feeling refreshed, reconnected, and already planning your return.
