Tree Sparrow House in Helston has topped a ranking of the most popular rentals saved to British users' "Wish Lists" on Airbnb.

The company analysed nearly 2.4 million wish lists created in the UK to find the most sought-after properties.

The charming one-bedroom property - which costs £100/night to rent - is split across two floors with a kitchen/living area and bedroom. Suitable for two guests, the rental offers idyllic views of the surrounding countryside and coast.

Its host, Jonathan Melville-Smith, a retired landscape designer and contractor, hasn't lived in the treehouse himself, but he said he has spent "the occasional night" there.

"For me, my earliest childhood memories are about building dens, followed by the magical story of Swiss Family Robinson. From that moment on I wanted to build a tree house," Melville-Smith told Business Insider over email. "It seems to me that I have always wanted to live in a tree house and spend magical moments in one."
