With the quieter times of the mid-winter break, read on for more ideas to get even more sustainable in 2026.

Spotlight on.....Living Room Treehouses

Thinking ahead to future holidays, Living Room Treehouses offer a unique experience holiday in the beautiful Dovey Valley, near Machynlleth. A simple, lower-impact holiday with solar electric and highly insulated - cosy all year round!
Taking bookings now for 2026 - visit their website
The heart of your treehouse is a woodburning stove which heats the treehouse beautifully; it also heats the water that falls from the spring water shower.
We have six Treehouses, each as unique as the trees in which they are built. They are nestled in a hidden valley, in the heart of the Welsh mountains, close to the sea and to the end of the hippy trail. Built with care, to blend seamlessly with the beautiful woodlands - a world away from the pressures of modern life.
Wood-burning stoves, lush interiors, fast flowing streams, wobbly bridges, whirling red kites, breath-taking walks in a gorgeous tree-top home.
