My monster Treehouse build thread
Discussion
Thanks Cappo 
I'm incredibly proud of the reviews we have had since launching too, check out some of the detail and emotion some people go into when describing the place, we even had someone burst into tears of joy when they checked in last week!
We have the best customers ever, and yes even including Cappo!
think we are on about 56 reviews now and every one is genuinely 5*

You’ve created an amazing place!
Odd question time......would it be possible to plug in an electric car during the stay? Even a regular 3-pin socket would be fine for a 2+ night stay to get back home again!!
BTW...went to book 3 nights on https://ravendere.co.uk/price-availability (figure we would sort charging somehow!)...but PH10 gives “This coupon code is not valid“....?
Thx!

Yep, I could run an extension lead out to the parking area for you Odd question time......would it be possible to plug in an electric car during the stay? Even a regular 3-pin socket would be fine for a 2+ night stay to get back home again!!

Re the discount code, sorry, my fault, it was PH18 for 2018, but I've just changed it to PH10, so that should work now
PH10
Thanks again, and hope to see you sometime!

Op
What happened with the original builders?
Any difficulties running the business?
You need a mini railway for that hill
Lets just say they are absolute conmen, despite meeting happy customers, having coffee in his house with wife and kids and even sleeping in one of his buildings to test it out, they seem to be smoke and mirrors for stealing money is his business, he is known to most of the solicitors and debt recovery agents.

But beyond that, its been great, was probably a blessing in disguise, as we wouldn't have ended up with the building we have now, and business is great! Cracking on with the 2nd build next week, which is exciting.
I am tempted to install a motorised pulley/zipwire system to the treehouse

Booked!
Thx, looking forward to it!
eta just realised I must have said 1 person on the booking (even though I put both our names down) - it is TWO of us (do you get any singles deciding to have a treehouse adventure?!)
Great, thanks and see you soon!Thx, looking forward to it!

No worries, I'll mark it up as 2 people.
We have had one single lady come for some R&R once, sounds quite nice!

I managed to convince Wayfair (https://www.wayfair.co.uk/) to completely furnish and interior design the whole treehouse, in return they will use the treehouse as a showcase for their wares and it will feature in their social, press and website.
We also have Trip Advisor onboard, so Wayfair and tripadvisor, with their combined 13 million social media followers will be launching the treehouse for us, they are also putting it out to the press, and we have some newspapers coming to stay and write about it/us
Wow just come across this project, its amazing. So impressed with how you have launched it too, where do you even begin to get such big players on board? Any pictures to update on project number 2?

Well, just to bump this one: we had a fabulous few days on the treehouse, thanks very much!
Highly recommended for a luxurious break
Back to earth (literally!) for a week at our place on the IOW now before returning to the world....slightly less luxurious (!), definitely fewer steps to climb though!
Cheers!
