Deer Park Treehouse
The Deer Park Treehouse is a truly unique and special accommodation in the heart of the Devonshire countryside. Tucked away in the sprawling grounds of Deer Park Estate, this treehouse offers a unique and luxurious retreat for those seeking privacy, pampering and an unforgettable holiday experience.

Why the early mornings were worth it, and what to expect from a meditation retreat in the Plum Village tradition.
Why Go to a Meditation Retreat at Deer Park?
As New Year’s Eve approached, I found I was wanting a quieter celebration.
