We have visited Sycamore Treehouse on a few occasions (previously under different management). Always so special, but this time carried a different presence. We felt hovered over and uncomfortable by the new owners. Their particular commentary throughout the stay was off-putting and their patronising attitude towards our children was unappreciated. Each tree house is beautifully hand-crafted out of 100% wood. We have had the pleasure of staying in Fantasy, Faraway, Bottle house and Pegasus; however Planequarium seemed unfinished and half plastered with dry walling. It appeared damp with poor lighting at the lower level. The shower and Jacuzzi were spectacular nonetheless. Heaters however did not work in the bedrooms. It was a pleasure to be served full course meals at both breakfast and dinners, although it would have been preferred to be offered alternative meat options at Dinner. There was no alternative options provided at dinner, which was frustrating esp when the meat was very overcooked and vegetables over sauced with garlic. Breakfasts were enjoyable, although would have preferred fresh fruit salad as opposed to the reused and glazed dry fruit. To make mention, there was one meal in particular where we were unsure of what meat was actually served and all suffered a runny tummy the next day. Prior to our booking we enquired to swap out to another Treehouse during our stay when any alternative unit became available, but was advised that all units were unavailable. During our stay, however, we were for a large portion of the week the only family onsite and would have preferred to have been offered another unit. In closing, its always the small things that make a big difference. Unsure whether we will return for another visit, despite it holding a special place in our hearts and loving the Midlands Meander.
