Why couples choose Tree Top Escape

Hidden away along a private drive near Umberleigh, Tree Top Escape feels wonderfully removed from the outside world. The venue sits above a picturesque North Devon valley, surrounded by meadows, woodland, lakes and far-reaching countryside views.

Privacy lies at the heart of the experience. There are no other weddings, hotel guests or visitors sharing the setting: the venue and its 15 acres are exclusively yours for the duration of your celebration.

Its small capacity allows couples to focus on the people and details that matter most. You might elope with just the two of you, invite a handful of loved ones or fill the venue with your closest 14 guests. The result is a wedding that feels relaxed, personal and completely your own.

Marry among the treetops

Linked to the Tree House by a wooden walkway, The Nest appears to float above the valley. Its wide glass walls frame uninterrupted countryside views while allowing the changing light and landscape to become part of the ceremony.

The setting has a distinctive atmosphere in every season. Spring and summer bring lush greenery and long, light-filled days, while autumn wraps the valley in rich colour. During winter, frosty fields, misty views and candlelight create an intimate sense of seclusion.

Couples may also choose to marry outside within the gardens or woodland, exchanging vows surrounded by the sights and sounds of the countryside.

Despite its elevated appearance, the venue is arranged across one level without stairs, making it more accessible than its treehouse setting might suggest.

Celebrate your way

Tree Top Escape is designed around intimate weddings rather than a traditional large reception. This gives couples the freedom to create a celebration that reflects them, whether that means a simple ceremony and cream tea or a multi-day stay filled with food, experiences and time together.

The Meadow Room provides a relaxed space for drinks and dining, while the woodland Grill-Haus offers an atmospheric setting for an evening gathered around the fire.

Couples are not tied to a standard wedding menu. A private chef can prepare a bespoke meal, or the celebrations might feature sharing platters, grazing boards, afternoon tea, cocktails, pizza or a wood-fired feast in the Grill-Haus. Those wishing to explore further afield can also dine at one of North Devon’s local restaurants.

A carefully chosen collection of recommended suppliers covers everything from photography and flowers to cakes and beauty, while dedicated coordinators Nicola and Sam help couples shape the day and bring the details together.

Stay in the Tree House

The Tree House provides a luxurious and wonderfully private retreat before and after the ceremony. Sleeping up to four guests, it works equally well for a couple escaping alone or those bringing children or close family.

Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the views across the treetops, while stylish interiors, a private hot tub and a freestanding copper bath bring a sense of indulgence to the stay.

With no need to leave after the celebrations, couples can step straight from their wedding into a romantic minimoon. There is time to sink into the hot tub, wake to the sounds of the countryside and enjoy the feeling of having the landscape entirely to themselves.

Small weddings with a personal touch

Tree Top Escape offers both day weddings and longer stays. Day packages are ideal for couples seeking a simple, beautifully styled ceremony, while multi-night intimate wedding packages combine exclusive use, accommodation and the freedom to turn the occasion into a private countryside escape.

Children are warmly welcomed, with flexible sleeping arrangements and facilities available for younger guests. Dogs can join the ceremony and celebrations too, and up to two four-legged companions may stay in the Tree House.

For a very private elopement, members of the venue team can even act as witnesses, allowing couples to marry with nobody else present beyond those needed for the legal ceremony.

Combining remarkable architecture, complete privacy and a highly personal approach, Tree Top Escape is an enchanting choice for couples dreaming of an elopement or intimate wedding in the North Devon countryside.
