Perched high above the branches on a boutique glamping site, this striking treehouse offers a truly unique stay for a couple craving a romantic, back-to-nature escape near Bude. Set on a working farm around 1.5 miles from Bude’s beaches and amenities, it features a tree running through its centre and a balcony for stargazing and sunset drinks.
Reached via a steep external stairway that lifts you around six metres above the ground, the interior feels surprisingly roomy, with around twenty square metres of cleverly designed space. A shaded section and a clear roofed area mean you can relax by day and watch the night sky after dark, with ambient LED lighting enhancing the magical atmosphere. There are bean bags for lounging, a compact kitchenette with the essentials for a morning coffee or quick snack, and a cosy double bed for restful nights. A Dyson heating fan along with plug sockets and Wi-Fi ensure comfort and convenience. Down at ground level, the treehouse has its own WC along with a hedged, open-air hot-water shower that adds a touch of adventure to your morning routine. Back up the top, glazed doors open out to an elevated balcony, which is furnished for al-fresco drinks and relaxation, and has far-reaching views. A private patio below has additional outdoor space with seating and a BBQ along with private parking for one car.
There are shared facilities on-site, including a shell studio with bookable creative sessions, a shop and an indoor BBQ area. When you can drag yourself away, the lively seaside town of Bude (1.5 miles) boasts a wealth of shops, cafes, restaurants and beaches, including Summerleaze with its iconic tidal sea pool. Active explorers can go surfing or pick up scenic trails along the South West Coast Path.
