The Den Treehouse At Pickwell Manor

£317.90 per night

The Den is an island of beautiful design, floating in the treetops next to sister space The Hideaway Treehouse and perfectly blending the wild and the indulgent. In the daytime, throw open the doors and the breakfast bar window, sit out on the deck and live surrounded by nature. When the night draws in, close it all up and let the wood burner and underfloor heating turn the lounge into a cosy space for napping, reading or board games. As for the four-person jacuzzi, it is in an amazing decked space at the lower level and has a separate drinks fridge-freezer and lounge area. Cooking options are equally versatile, with a BBQ outdoors and fully equipped kitchen inside. While it’s an incredibly romantic spot for couples, The Den is also perfect for a family of four. One room has a king-size bed and another two full-size bunks and the deck is guarded by a rail, so toddlers can wander free. You can even bring the dog, so nobody has to miss out.

Once you’re in The Den, you may not want to leave, but if you do head out then you still might not get further than the grounds of Pickwell Manor. There’s a campfire area, an animal zone, croquet lawn and even the laundry room gets great feedback for the amazing view. Day trips could see you swimming, paddle boarding or surfing at Woolacombe Bay, or heading out along the coastal path from nearby Putsborough beach. A half-hour walk into Georgeham brings you to a couple of great pubs, with The Rock Inn a great choice for a special meal and The King’s Arms for a pint in the garden and music on Fridays. And because The Den is your own little world, you can fire up the tub whenever you get back and end the day with a dip.
