Rufus' Roost
A secluded treehouse raised among the branches of Bell Bank Wood — the sort of hideaway you keep to yourself.

About
The story
Hidden in the leafy folds of Bell Bank Wood near the quiet village of Husthwaite, Rufus' Roost is a treehouse escape for two who want the world to fall away. Days here are measured by birdsong and the shifting light through the canopy; evenings by woodsmoke and stars glimpsed between the branches. It's the kind of place that asks nothing of you but to slow down, tucked deep in the Hambleton countryside yet a world apart. Few know it — which is precisely its charm, and why those who find it rarely stop talking about it.
