From the moment we arrived at Treetops we felt welcome and relaxed. The Christmas tree lights were twinkling, the cottage was warm and there was a basket of treats waiting for us. The location is perfect and the view, out over the garden to the sea, is wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed our week in this peaceful, cosy cottage.

The location was very peaceful and great for nature lovers. Whilst only half a mile from the beach it is more suited to active individuals rather than elderly persons with mobility issues as it is situated at the top of a steep hill. The owners are very helpful.
