REVIEWS

  • Jasmine - Stayed June 2025

    This was the best staycation we’ve ever had, the golf buggy absolutely made it and we spent our time watching the polo which was also a brilliant bonus.
    Victoria was the most amazing host. We will definitely be recommending this to everyone we know!

  • Paul - Stayed May 2025

    My wife, dog and I couldn’t have enjoyed our stay at Muntjac more, the house is finished to an exceptionally high standard and we found the bed, furnishings and facilities comfortable and straightforward to use. Victoria and Jane are excellent hosts. The surrounding area is stunning, and we got all the food and drink we needed from the farm shop (also excellent). It’s very likely we’ll return as our short stay certainly exceeded our expectations.

  • Nicola - Stayed May 2025

    An absolutely wonderful experience. We watched a pair of nuthatches feeding their young straight in front of us in the canopy. Loved the golf buggy and had great fun driving around in it. The outdoor soaktub was gorgeous and we used it both nights we were there looking up at the stars through the leaves. Highly recommend.

  • Matt - Stayed May 2025

    We had a fantastic weekend as a family of 4. The treehouse is secluded and quiet but with luxury touches and high end equipment. The team are on hand via WhatsApp throughout the stay, and we're responsive and helpful. The farm shop is absurdly good - budget to spend a lot of money in there. And finally the grounds are beautiful - we caught a polo competition on Saturday which the kids loved.

  • L Watts - Stayed May 2025

    We had a fabulous stay; we loved everything - the cheese platter, steak night, and the views. It was just wonderful. The outdoor bath was so relaxing, just looking up at the trees and sky. Check-in was super easy, and we had everything we needed for an amazing weekend. Thank you so much and we’ll definitely be back!

  • Julian - Stayed April 2025

    A lovely and relaxing two night stay in beautiful surrounding. The treehouse had everything and more. The personal touches made it a fantastic experience - treats for the dog, a voucher for the farm shop. Victoria was amazing and there to meet and help us transport our luggage to the treehouse. Looking forward to staying again
