Surrounded by Devon's unspoiled nature, in the picture-perfect village of Dittisham, this tree-top hideaway provides the most serene spot for a romantic getaway or family break. Boasting rustic charm and a cosy atmosphere, this tree house isn't lacking in luxuries. Sip your morning coffee from a sun lounger on the private deck, relax in the hammock or jump in the wood-fired hot tub and simply enjoy the greenery that surrounds you. There's plenty of adventure to be had here, too. Famous for crabbing, head to the pontoon in front of the Ferry Boat Inn and see what you can catch (just remember to put the crabs back when you're finished). If that's not your thing, take a woodland walk on the Dart Valley Trail and admire the valley and river views as they unfold before you. After a day of fresh country air, head home for a barbecue, which you can enjoy alfresco on your very own terrace. Post-dinner, go inside to the warmth of the wood-burning stove to play board games or watch a film.
