Sawday’s Canopy and Stars Blog Your 2019 Bucket List

We think next year should be all about trying new things; from making your first campfire meal to staying in a treehouse or jumping into that freezing cold lake. We've picked out 10 amazing new experiences for 2019, but be quick as these spaces tend to disappear faster than the summer sun!1. Relax in your very own woodland saunaThe Woodman's Treehouse is a woodland utopia that's full of hidden secrets and surprises. From the giant outdoor shower to the copper bathtub, the woodfire pizza oven and the slide, you certainly won't be disappointed here. After a busy day of wood-working and hiking, you can retreat up to your rooftop sauna and relax before collapsing on the king sized bed.2. Stargaze straight from your bed in the Kielder ForestGeorge Clarke's very own treehouse project, Sky Den, is a haven of creativity and quirkiness. In an original move, this treehouse is composed of three different shapes that each blend together the best of outdoors and indoors. The real showstopper though is the retractable roof, which, when open, gives an unobstructed view of the gold tier Northumberland Dark Skies.3. Feel like a child again and swing from the trees!Living Room Treehouses are deep in the heart of the Welsh Mountains, in a wooded secret valley. After a short hike up through the woods you'll spy a dramatic spiral staircase leading up to the main living space. In one of the nearby trees is a homemade swing, perfect for letting loose and unleashing your inner wild child.4. Explore the Devon coastline from your private beachCarswell Beach Hut is a real hidden gem, found in a forgotten cove on the south coast of Devon. The gentle wash of the surf fills the cove as you light the BBQ and laze in the wood-fired hot tub. You'll feel miles away from anything as you lie in the hammock chairs after a day of exploring rock pools and swimming in the sea.5. Get creative and record your own songIf rock n' roll is on your agenda for the new year, grab seven friends and head to Candyland Studios. With a baby grand piano in the living room and ample guitars hanging up all around, you can turn the cabin into live rooms. Once you've practiced, head to the recording studio to record your masterpiece as a full band, solo or an orchestra.6. Be a llama farmer for the weekendSergeant Troy is a beautifully decked out shepherd's hut that sits in its own private woodland clearing. There's a direct view of the llama paddocks so you can watch them gambol as you sip your breakfast tea, and you can become a llama farmer for the weekend if you wish! Book a wander in their company, or give them a snack from the jar of goat food in your hut.7. Wake up to sunrise in the middle of a nature reserveElmley is the only National Nature Reserve in England in which you can spend the night. So naturally, the only thing to do each morning is to throw open those curtains, make yourself a cup of tea and watch the sunrise from under your cosy covers. If you're lucky, you might even spot wild rabbits and deer frolicking in the morning mist!8. Catch dinner off your own lakeFancy yourself a fisher? At Ditchling Cabin, you're in a National Park in the middle of rural Sussex with your very own lake to cast off into. There's trout to catch, and when you do, fire up the barbie on deck and enjoy the best meal of your life as you watch the sun go down. Blissful.9. Share a romantic bath with your loved oneWhilst sharing a bath is romantic and all that, we all know we'd really prefer our own bath tub to indulge in! At The Old Piggery, there are two outdoor bath tubs with beautiful views out over the Devon countryside. So both you and your loved one can relax next to one another, but the only thing you'll be sharing is that bottle of wine.10. Live like a human-sized bee!We bet you never thought living like a bee would make your bucket list. But trust us, it's great fun. At Humble Bee, you can sip champagne from the outdoor bath, find all the thick furs you could ever want and relax in the king-sized bed that's suspended in the ceiling. You'll love it when the dark wood inside combines with light from the honeycombe feature wall, giving the hive a sultry, honeyed glow.To make next year your best one yet, check out our amazing Treehouse Collection and One of a Kind Spaces.
