The 8ft (2.4m) by 6ft (1.8m) house was built by Jason Kneen in his garden in Ludgershall, Wiltshire, during lockdown.

The playhouse was listed on the rentals site at £500 a night, as the family didn’t actually want anyone to book a stay there. 

Mr Kneen said: “I thought the booking was a joke at first but the fact someone’s going to do it is pretty incredible.”

He said the £3,500 playhouse was a full-size recreation of Lottie’s Wooden Doll Treehouse - one the favourite toys of his children Leo, Poppy, Ixia, Rosie and Zebedee.

Marketed as a full-sized version of the toy treehouse, it is described on Airbnb as a “romantic getaway or an adventure with the kids”.

The playhouse sleeps four, has a balcony, slide, ladder and trapdoor and wifi access.

“Lavatory facilities” are available in the neighbouring Tardis - a replica of Doctor Who’s time-travelling machine.
