"We booked a treehouse for an overnight stay on 16 April 2026. prior to my daughter's wedding on 17th. We were allocated the Cuckoo lodge and sizewise it was perfect. My daughter and future husband and my two grandchildren took the studio side which had its own entrance and hot-tub but they also had access to the main unit where the remainder of the family were housed. This included a massive bathroom with double walk-in shower. It had its own access to separate terrace including the hot-tub. The main unit had a large ground floor living accommodation with a large outdoor terrace housing another hot-tub. Ground floor also led onto a very large bedroom suite with a walk-in shower and a separate large copper bathtub. It also had a large sofa bed. This bedroom housed my elder daughter and her four children more than comfortably. The wife and I shared the mezzanine bedroom overlooking the main living quarters. A blackout blind helped keep the room dark. We made use of 'The Pin' bar and restaurant along with the spa complex which is in the main hotel area. A golf-buggy ensured people got to these additions without any bother. The treehouse was a perfect start to a perfect day. It was clean, staff were attentive to the family needs and I would recommend it to anyone."
