Can someone please tell me what this is?

I am staying in a rented cottage in Ireland at the moment and found this beautiful tree in the garden. I would love to know what it's called, if anyone can help, please?

The flowers:

No idea what it is, but it's so pretty! The flowers look almost tropical.

Kind of remind me of giant blueberry flowers.

It does look like blueberry flowers. I wonder if it is in the same genus, class, phylum or whatever.

I wonder if it will produce a berry.

That looks more like it than what I found, called a strawberry tree. The blooms on it are described as pink, but look white to me.
Its is called arbutus unedo.

I think Ridge found it. The leaves in the background even match Sumi's photo.
Nice detecting @Ridgerunner !

I went in the wrong direction.

Since the flowers look something like Euonymus berries, I tried to find photos of Euonymus flowers. Everywhere it said they were "inconspicuous." Well, I guess so since nobody bothers to take their picture ...

Anyway, Wikipedia says your tree is from southern Chile, Sumi. If it grows there, seems likely that it would grow here .

Wow, Ridge. You nailed it! How did you find it?
