Beautiful, quirky cottage, with superb views and friendly hosts.
Beautiful, quirky cottage, with superb views and friendly hosts. The cottage has everything that you will need for a lovely holiday. The owners live next door and are lovely people. The area is peaceful and picturesque and we have had a fabulous 5 day break with our dog. Lots of lovely places to visit in the area. We were provided with a dog bed, bowl and treat for the mutt and lovely welcome basket with home grown vegetables, chutney and wine. We are intending to come back.

A first visit to Cherry Cottage.
A first visit to Cherry Cottage. Helpful and friendly owners (with details before) and when we arrived. A generous welcome pack with home-grown veg. and eggs.The cottage was warm and comfortable - we were also able to have a cuppa on the little terrace at the end of the garden, which had lovely views across the fields to the estuary. The cottage was beautifully equipped, spotlessly clean and restfully decorated. Good information leaflets. We found a good pub by the harbour side in Shotley - The Bristol Arms. Need to book for a Saturday. Also visited the little Maritime Museum and the local vineyard with a newly opened cafe.This is NOT a criticism - more an observation - if the weather turns colder/frosty, the little slope out of the back door might need to be cleared of moss to avoid slipping.
