Exterior view of the treehouse and terrace

Ladder access to the grand hêtre treehouse

Eco-friendly treehouses in a peaceful and mature 27-hectare woodland
Easy access to the Avenue Verte traffic-free walking/cycling trail
Breakfast hampers included in stays; forest walks on site

Fancy a Swiss Family Robinson-style stay among a mature 67-acre woodland in Normandy? Sorted. In the centre of Upper Normandy about half an hour's drive from Rouen, Les Cabanes de Fontaine-Châtel is in a forested setting within easy reach of outdoorsy activities such as strolling and cycling around the department's 1,400 kilometres of trails. Accommodation here is high in the trees in swish, comfy and eco-friendly treetop cabins, each individually designed to fit the the trees supporting it. The treehouses are all totally off-grid for proper treetop retreats, but the owners have added a bathroom block to the site so you don't have to forego hot showers and flushing toilets. And while some huts can be reached only by clambering up a ladder, some have been designed to be easily accessible to those with reduced mobility. To preserve the peaceful vibe, the site can be reached only on foot or by bike from the parking area. No cars means that this peaceful place is a tiptop spot for wildlife watchers too: look below your treehouse terrace and you're likely to tick wild boars, deer, squirrels, pheasants and other birds off your wildlife spotting list. You can take forest strolls and cycles for leisure time on site too. Breakfast is included when you book a stay here: simply hoist up your hamper when it's delivered in the morning. Dinners can be booked with at least seven days' notice.

Robin des Bois 2 bedroom treehouse

Liked: Absolutely everything. The welcome was great and everything was explained well to us. The Forrest is amazing but the tree house, well what can I say? It was stunning! We also got a lovely breakfast hoisted up to us. Love it and will definitely go back.

Drakkar treehouse

Liked: This was a beautiful way to end our holiday. My daughter loved the experience of sleeping in a tree house. Breakfast coming up with a rope was a real highlight. It creaked at night, but felt completely safe and it was all part of the experience - as was the eco-toilet!

Canyon 1 bedroom treehouse

Liked: Wij vonden de boomhut fantastisch! De locatie was prachtig en het zag er heel romantisch en iddylisch uit.
Het personeel was kundig en duidelijk met de uitleg (wat ook wel nodig is met een boomhut). Daarna werd het personeel ook vriendelijk en meedenkend. Echt een top man!

Het ontbijt dat je op moest takelen in de ochtend was een hele leuke ervaring. Het heeft gewoon iets schattigs!

Bij de receptie zijn normale douches en wc's, waardoor de luxe vergelijkbaar is met een goede camping (+/- 10 minuten wandelen door het bos). Mijn vriendin had nog nooit gecampeerd en vond het totaal geen probleem!

Echt een aanrader!!

Local attractions

There's plenty of outdoorsy stuff to do around here: test your steel among high ropes courses, ziplines and Tarzan swings of the big tree climbing park in Préaux, within 20 minutes' drive, or try a trip on horseback from one of two riding centres over in Mauquenchy. For water-themed activity, the sands and sea of Dieppe are less than an hour away and several pools are within 20 minutes' drive. Over 1,400 kilometres of trails network the Seine-Maritime department, and the site owners highly recommend the Avenue Verte, a former railway line between Dieppe and Paris transformed into a path for non-motorised vehicles. Bring a bike or take a simple stroll; car parks and picnic areas have been set up along the route for breaks and feeds. For something to keep the boys and girls on their best behaviour, the fairytale-themed family attractions, petting zoo and sky-high rides of Parc du Bocasse theme park are around 25 minutes' drive from Fontaine, and animals such as cranes, flamingos, monkeys, kangaroos and wallabies are over to see in Clères's zoo.
