The Treehouse at Salcombe Farm

The Treehouse at Salcombe Farm is a single timber-clad cabin raised into the birch canopy on a working farm above Salcombe, small, self-contained, and built for two.

A short flight of steps climbs through the trees to the deck, where a bistro table and a scattering of wicker chairs sit right among the leaves, the wooden structure just visible below through the branches.

One warm room, wood-panelled throughout

Inside is a single open room lined floor to ceiling in timber: a rustic wooden bed with a hand-carved LOVE sign above the headboard, a compact kitchen shelf hung with mugs and a kettle, and a small dining table with blue upholstered chairs beside the glass door to the deck. The stone-carved sink in the en-suite bathroom is cut from a single block, and an outdoor shower is fitted against the cabin's timber-clad wall for rinsing off after a day on the beach.

The deck among the birches

Breakfast happens on the deck itself: a bistro table laid with pastries, blueberries and fresh bread, wicker chairs turned into the tree canopy, and a second small table further along under the leaves where the trees briefly open onto a wider view.

Salcombe just down the hill

Horsecombe Farm sits within Salcombe's own boundary, and the harbourfront, lifeboat station and estuary moorings give a good sense of the town waiting below the farm, boats resting on the sandbar at low tide.

A quiet retreat for two

This is built for a couple wanting somewhere small and self-contained rather than a full house: one room, one bed, a wood-fired feel to the whole cabin, and a deck in the trees, with Salcombe itself close enough for whenever you want company again.
