We're delighted to introduce the ultimate adventure accommodation - tree houses. It's not every day you get the chance to sleep in a tree house - a fantastic fun and exciting way to spend all or part of your holiday. Imagine living and sleeping in the sky... the great views... at one with nature... Tarzan style!

Each tree house has been cleverly constructed around the trunk of the tree and is around 4-5 metres from the ground. Access is via a spiral staircase and they come equipped with 4 single beds and one double bed under a thatched, pitched roof. A large decked terrace with table and chairs means you can relax and watch the world go by from your lofty position.

You can pre-book breakfast in your Tree House at Rougemont and La Forêt from £8/€9pp per day. Please call us for details.

In addition, we also provide you with a Frontier Tent beneath the treehouse for the duration, so if you wish you can always come back down to earth. Each Frontier Tent is fully equipped with self catering equipment as well as enough room to sleep 6 should you all want a night on terra firma! (Please note - the tents are pitched on the nearest pitches to the Treehouse Villages. This can sometimes be up to 750m away.)
