Sleeps 6 – A fairytale treehouse for group getaways

Grab five other big kids ready to cast aside tedious adult responsibilities and head to glorious Yorkshire, where you’ll find a fairytale turreted treehouse at the end of a boardwalk that weaves gently through the woods. The lounge is perfect for boardgames, and if Monopoly starts to get heated, just slide down the tunnel to the cosy reading nook below. End each day of celebrations with pizzas from the outdoor oven and fizz in the hot tub under a sky full of stars

"I can't think of a better place for a group getaway in winter! We felt like we had the whole estate to ourselves as didn't see a soul during our stay. We walked into the warm treehouse to the sound of jazz and right away felt like we had found the perfect place to bed in for a few days. Already planning when we can get the gang back together and get back to Rufus Roost next year!" – Guest review from Helen, after her special occasion stay at Rufus’s Roost.

Made full use of everything, planned a cocktail night, fancy dress night, BBQ and games night. Had plans to visit the local area but didn't end up doing this with all the fun that was being had. Excellent for the dogs too as the site is fully secure, fab bonus!" – Guest review from Adrianne, after her special occasion stay at Box Barn.

"We booked Middle Lypiatt as a group of girl friends wanting somewhere extra special for the weekend. We literally couldn't have found anywhere better! The safari tent was beautiful and the location is absolutely stunning. We used the hot tub I'm the evening and again in the morning for a cold dip it was just perfect. Matt and Susie are fantastic hosts, they've thought of everything and were so helpful and friendly on site too. A trip we really won't forget!" – Guest review from Hannah, after her special occasion stay at Middle at Middle Lypiatt Glamping.

"We stayed for 2 nights as a belated birthday celebration for my partner, with the dog. We were very lucky with the weather which allowed us to make the most of the hut and its facilities as well as the local area. William kindly recommended a local walk (Hackfall woods) which was absolutely beautiful. We loved having use of the BBQ and firepit in particular which really made our stay special." – Guest review from Steph, after her special occasion stay at Riverdale.

The bedrooms are spacious and the beds comfortable. There is a small room on the ground floor which is very cosy and which heats up very quickly and it will keep you warm. The surrounding is incredible, beautiful landscape, great hikes and a magical forest 15/20 minutes walk from the cottage. Don't think about it, just book this place as you won't regret it." –Guest review from Giulio, after his special occasion stay at Cottage in The Clouds.

The tents were all set up so nicely, the hot tub and area around this was perfect, and the big barn had everything we needed for a great weekend away. It couldn’t have been better and Rebecca was so helpful and available to help if we needed. Highly recommend, and I am already making plans to go back" – Guest review from Gemma, after her special occasion stay at Nantseren.

Jemma was so helpful in helping arrange things beforehand and took all our stuff down to the site on her quad bike. She even showed us Norman, a young calf who lives on the farm! We really connected with nature; cooking breakfast and dinner over the open fire, toasting marshmallows and looking up at the many stars. It was honestly the best weekend we could've had and we created so many amazing memories. Thank you Jemma for giving us a birthday to remember!" – Guest review from Rachel, after her special occasion stay at Vintage Vardos.
