Lovely cosy cottage with everything you could need. Nice welcome from Claire (owner) who lives next door. A really nice touch was a welcome basket, which contained a nice bottle of processco. Lovely towels and bed linen. Plenty of nice crockery, cutlery and lots of pots and pans etc.. Lovely views from the garden. We only stayed two nights but wish it could have been more. Hope to stay again when visiting family.

We had a lovely stay at Cherry. Great enclosed Garden for our wee dog who loved it. Everything you need and more for your stay, even fresh veg and fruit from the owners. Had one specific objective for the visit and that was to see HMS Ganges for the last time.
