Perched up on trees in a hidden valley in the Welsh countryside, this accommodation needs to be experienced to be believed.

This one looks like it’s been pulled straight out of a fairy tale. Known also as the ‘Crazy House’, this building is a work of art featuring imaginative ladders shaped as tree roots, mysterious cubby holes, towering treehouses with jagged peaks, and even a bizarre Indonesian/Swiss style chalet. Add to this spiderweb patterned windows, wooden kangaroos, bears and giraffes, and an explosion of tropical foliage and flowers just for good measure, and you’ve got a feast for the eyes. See it to believe it!
