Thanks Cappo smile

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* yikesthumbup

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 smile

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 smile

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 smile
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 laugh

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?!)

Edited by mikeiow on Sunday 22 September 10:24
Great, thanks and see you soon!

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!

Having just had another PH'er stay with us (and what great guests they were) thought it may be time for a bump with some news that we are going for planning for our 2nd build next week!

Everything collectively crossed please!

Well, just to bump this one: we had a fabulous few days on the treehouse, thanks very much!
Highly recommended for a luxurious break biggrin

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!
Cheers Mike, pleasure to have you stay with us and great to put a face to the name!

Still going well here, as busy as ever, hopefully be able to share plans/details on the 2nd retreat before the year is out!

Thanks all, yes it's been a great success overall, over the moon with how it's going.

2nd build is going slowly, planning is a long and slow process, but almost there, as soon as the green light is given I'll share some plans smile
