Church Lane, Osmington, Weymouth, Dorset

Our vendor says, “My beautiful Treetops is an old cottage, sitting in a quiet, secluded location off the main lane. To wake up with bird song in Spring and hear owls hooting close by in Winter is delightful. The striking apple tree yields abundant fruit that are delicious raw but can also be baked, or made into chutney with grapes from the vines dried into lovely sticky currants on the Aga, or apple jelly with mint and other herbs from the garden.  The nearby cider museum will crush any surplus apples on their exhibits to make home brew cider!  
From the cottage, it’s just a short walk up to the White Horse and the Ridgeway, or down past the village dairy to sample local ice cream en route to the coast path and the historic Smuggler’s Inn.”
