Our tree houses
(or as the French say "cabanes dans les arbres")
Tree-house breaks are rare in England at present, but are popular in France. We have six very large tree-houses with 2 in one enormous tree !
They are incredibly safe with security netting on the terraces and staircases surrounding and proper doors and gates. They are therefore open to children from the age of 2.
On site
we provide a wonderful opportunity to experience the wonders of nature up close, deep in the countryside and perhaps also a chance to relive a small part of our childhoods.
They are beautifully designed and built by professionals around an individual tree. They are very tree-friendly and checked yearly by the tree expert.
Importantly each treehouse is nicely isolated from the others and hidden in the branches and leaves so you will not be disturbed by others, except by the birds of course.
A night in a tree-house
There is nothing quite like spending a night in a tree-house and waking to the sounds of nature. There are deer, wild boar, partridges, pheasants, hares, rabbits, birds of all shapes and sizes, owls, frogs etc etc here.
The tree-houses are large. They each have a double bed (the chene fou has 2 in its 2 tree-houses) and single beds where they accommodate more than 2. The beds are made of wood, built in and raised so you are not sleeping on the floor. There are smaller pull-out beds for small children. Each has a very good mattress and we supply pillows, duvets, sheets and towels, and we will give you lighting also when you arrive.
There is no running water in the tree-houses and so the loos are organic dry toilets. They are very clean and do not smell as they have a sawdust base. Very simple and very organic. Guests tend to use them in the night and use the flush loos on site at other times. We have showers too on site to freshen up after a night in the trees.
The children love them and for adults, although often unsure at first, have an even better time than the children!
Upon arrival you will be given a little bag with lighting (candles and matches in the tree house, bed will be made with a warm duvet, and soft pillows).
· inside your tree house, in a separate room, you will find the dry compost toilet for night time emergency! but rest assured, the 17th century hen house has been restaured and you will find there comfortable WC and showers, equipped with hair dryers, towels, shower gel and shampoo.
· you can have your evening meals delivered to your tree house! You will need to order them at least 3 days in advance.
