  • Sleeps: 6
  • Bedrooms: 3
  • Bathrooms: 2
  • Minimum stay: 3 nights

Magically spacious and stylish, the Apple Treehouse is idyllically positioned on the edge of a picturesque, tree-filled conservation village on a small farm in natureful Somerset, overlooking green fields dotted with grazing ponies.

Fully equipped with everything you might expect from an opulent hotel suite – including a private sunken cedar hot tub! – this stunning treehouse for six features all you need to enjoy a restorative break in the heart of the countryside, reconnecting with your loved ones (including the dog) as you surround yourselves with natural luxury.

The Apple Treehouse, with its cutting-edge design that includes octagonal rooms and triangular windows, is finished in a rustic style that blends beautifully with its rural surroundings.  A welcoming, open plan living area awaits you inside, complete with underfloor heating, a cosy wood-burning stove and squishy leather sofas just aching to be curled up on with a good book.  French doors overlooks your private decking, with its tranquil backdrop of fresh farmland views.

The traditional Shaker-style family kitchen is well-equipped and includes all you need to prepare plenty of country feasts…and there’s even a dishwasher included.  Enjoy your meals on the solid wood dining table as you look out across the garden, or better still, head out to the decking with its comfy outdoor seating and listen to the gentle rustling of the trees as you luxuriate in some soothing al fresco time.

While you’re out on the decking, why not crack open a bottle of your favourite wine and take advantage of your own sunken hot tub, as you watch the golden sunset melt over the horizon?  If you prefer a good swim, you’ll also have daily use of the farm’s indoor heated swimming pool.

Take the spiral staircase, where three stylishly comfy bedrooms await you when it’s time to turn in, equipped with versatile zip link beds dressed in fresh Egyptian cotton.  The master bedroom features an ensuite family bathroom with an indulgent roll-top bath and plenty of fluffy towels, robes and toiletries.  The second features an ensuite shower room, and there’s a separate, cosy bunk room that’s ideal for children.  Travel cots can also be accommodated in each of the main bedrooms.

By day, big and little kids alike will enjoy all the fun of the farm, greeting the animals and creating new adventures in the outdoor play area!  On rainier days you’ll find plenty of toys, books, games and DVDs to keep everyone engrossed.
