From the moment we booked our stay to the day we left Sue could not have been more helpful. We celebrated my sons 18th birthday there and the cabin was decorated throughout with balloons and banners, it was just perfect! The cabin is so luxurious yet also has a real homely feel. The complimentary gift basket was such a special touch and contained lRead moreots of delicious treats, my daughter especially loved the after eight mints and the chocolate brioche. We had plenty of wood, kindling, coal and fire lighters provided for use of the sauna, bbq house and wood burning stove. Sitting by the log burner with the Christmas tree twinkling nearby was truly beautiful and cosy. We cannot wait to return and wish Sue and the Treetop family a magical Christmas. Thank you again Hide
