Woodland wonder, Devon 

The magic of a treehouse is coupled with the luxury of an architect-designed interior that can sleep up to 10, at this self-catering stay on the Chevithorne Barton estate. Enjoy treetop views through huge windows in the book-lined lounge or take in birdsong from the firepit-furnished terrace. Once coffees are drained, spend days exploring the wild moorland of nearby Exmoor National Park or stay on-site to picnic on the rolling lawn, row across the lakes or soak in a wood-fired hot tub.
