Whether you are after something rough and ready or prefer to lean towards leafy luxury, here is our rustic round-up of the treehouses we think top the list . . .

For something secluded, soak up the sights of Devon in a bath tub big enough for two on the deck of Cleave Treehouse.

Tucked away on its own in a tangled Dartmoor copse, it is just you and the trees, with a little stream weaving below. From £135 per night for two. For more details see canopyandstars.co.uk/cleavetreehouse.

To get really up close with nature, make for Mexico, where an eco-glamping site has treehouses deep in the jungle of the Yucatan Peninsula.

Open walls and no electricity are off-set by a true sense of community with cooking and painting classes. From £36.90 per night, based on two sharing. For a real feel of what is on offer, go to pitchup.com.

If you would prefer to get into the swing of some adventurous good living, crack on to Croatia. Zip-lines, paintballing and a superb on-site restaurant await at Cadmos Village’s activity centre.

Despite towering seven metres above the ground, prices are less than lofty – from £108.88 per night based on four sharing.

Double-glazed and with all mod-cons, the three-bedroom treehouses really are the height of luxury. See pitchup.com for more details.

Environmentally conscious social climbers will be happy to clamber up the ladder of Les Cabanes de Fontaine-Chatel’s cabins in Normandy, France. Each of the eco-friendly units has been built to fit the tree supporting it.

But while many of the treehouses can only be accessed via a few wooden steps, others suit those with reduced mobility.

What’s more, a delivered breakfast is included in the price – all for £109.79 per night, based on two sharing.

Could there be a more uplifting start to the day than having your hamper hoisted up each morning? See pitchup.com for more information.

For simplicity itself, we found a lovely treehouse at Beudy Banc in Powys.

Here, there are no frills, no television and no wifi.

Just a good, clean-but-basic open space with a modern bathroom and a couple of cooking hobs.

It is your chance to get back to basics without having to log on.

From £95 per night for two. See canopyandstars.co.uk/beudybanctreehouse.
