"Accommodation ideally located for accessing the town centre and surrounds."
It is conveniently located to access main roads and mainline railway, making exploring further afield very easy. The cottage is comfortable and positioned in a quiet residential road. Friendly nextdoor neighbours too. Recommended.
-
"Cherry Lodge was very convenient for us, being a short walk from the town centre, and we found useful shops nearby."
The house itself is attractive, comfortable, and well-equipped. We had an excellent stay thank you.
-
"Well appointed property within easy access of Newark."
Worked well for three of us to fish in the local area with two dedicated of road car parking spaces. Will be coming back next year.
-
"Had a lovely weeks stay."
Close to very nice restaurants. Booked to stay next year in June and might stay again in March. House really cosy and comfortable
-
"A first ‘holiday cottage’ visit to Nottinghamshire - the county of my birth."
Surprisingly, considering the weather forecasts, we had a lovely week exploring the area. Our main reason for the visit was to attend a gig at the Palace Theatre and we were grateful that it was within walking distance. Cherry Lodge was a lovely place to stay but I did end up having to wash most of the glassware before use as it didn’t look to have seen soap and water for some time. Beyond that small niggle, I think we’d look to visit again
-
"House was spotless with comfy beds and well equipped."
A brilliant location to visit both all that Newark has to offer and slightly further afield too with it's great access to the road and rail networks. We enjoyed a day getting to know this interesting town which has plenty of places to get good food and drink, including the market where we got a great bargain whole fillet of beef. Also visited Easton Walled Gardens (Grantham) which was a great contrast to the town. Loved the social aspect of the dining conservatory being adjacent and open to the kitchen so no feeling of isolation whilst cooking. Would definitely consider going back though take care if older as the sofas really are low and a little difficult to get up from...

"A real home from home is how I would sum Up Cherry lodge."
Great access into the town was a bonus and lots to see and do. We went to Mary Magdalene church which was very impressive and we loved exploring all the antique shops and small shops dotted about. The house was comfortable and so well equipped! Garden very nice and welcome as we were there during heat wave and safe for our 2 dogs. My only concern is the upstairs windows which would not be an issue if not staying in extreme heat. But the small bedroom window was not allowed to be opened due to it needing a replacement And the small double and bathroom windows were very very stiff to open and I was worried we may of broken them if forced! It did not spoil are stay but made keeping upstairs cool very difficult. Will definitely return as for us it was a very nice stay and great location

"We have stayed at Cherry Lodge many times and always have been very happy with our stay."
We use it as a base for our fishing trips on the Trent and would recommend the house. The owners Valerie and her husband are very nice people. We normally stay there at least twice a year and if possible would stay there more often. Looking forward to our next trip. Brian Pounds

"Lovely accommodation, pleasure to walk into, lovely and clean, nice fragrance."
The kitchen is very well equipped, like the whole property. Lovely comfy beds and bed linen. The conservatory is a lovely place to sit and enjoy your meal too. Garden is very nicely done although we did not sit outside.The Wi-Fi works really well too. This property is well located short walk to shops and town well worth the visit for the History too. The negatives are the low sofas and the window in small bedroom does not open and is waiting for maintenance, shower screen could be secured better. The property is in a residental area, there is noise from surrounding neighbours. Would recommend to others if visiting that area.
-
"Very comfortable stay."
Just 5 minutes walk into the town and short run in the car to the Showground - which was the reason for our visit. A very nice home from home property
-
"The tv connection needs to improve and really difficult to get up from the very low sofas, not suitable for elderly or someone who can’t do a low squat."
Other than that we enjoyed our second time around at Cherry Lodge.
-
"Cherry Lodge is a lovely well appointed property."
It has everything you need whilst away from home. I have never encountered such a well stocked kitchen with gadgets and crockery like you have in your own home. The sofas in the living room are quite low for less mobile people to get down on and then up again, but they are comfortable. It's a great base for exploring the local area, we stayed as it was close to relatives we were visiting. It's location is excellent as Newark town centre is only a short walk away meaning you don't need to drive and have the hassle of finding a place to park. My only issue was the shower, a lovely rain forest shower head which gave a great shower, however the glass partition on the bath needs to be a bit longer as water can splash out and onto the floor if you are not really careful whilst showering. Would definitely recommend to others as a place to stay.

"We very much enjoyed our week at Cherry Lodge."
Could not fault anything.
-
"My friend and myself have been to Cherry Lodge many times as we use the house as a base for our fishing trips."
The owners are very nice people and we are booking the house again for our next trip. Brian Pounds
-
"Lovely place to stay really enjoyed our stay Only drawback was seating especially the settee was far too low"
-
"Our second visit to this clean and comfortable cottage."
The level of comfort and warmth was most welcome when the weather took a turn for the worst. Newark has interesting sights and good restaurants within easy walking distance.
-
"This is the about the 10th time we have been back to Cherry Lodge and have already booked our next trip."
My friend and myself use it as a base for us to fish the riverTrent. The owners are very nice people.
-
"For anyone wishing to visit the Newark area, this is the place to stay - so convenient both for the town itself and the surrounding area."
Only reasons for not top marks for facilities and maintenance was that we struggled to use both the oven and the microwave, and the toilet seats tended to slip a bit. Very minor negatives- with everything else being great. Hope to stay again.
-
"The property is very well appointed and in a convenient location."
The only issue we had was the sofas in the living room. They are incredibly low to the ground, to the point that the two elderly people in our party physically couldn’t get up from them unaided. This was a major issue as it meant we couldn’t leave them alone in the property at any time.
-
"Lovely house, excellent Location, wish we could let it long term loved every ..."
Lovely house, excellent Location, wish we could let it long term loved every thing about the house and loved newark 5mins walk from all ementies excellent facilities in the house highly recommend to everyone, spotlessly clean and beds super comfortable
-
"The property was as described."
It felt spacious and well equipped (for 3 people and 2 dogs). The beds were comfy. There were plenty of towell's and toilet rolls left out for the stay. The house temperature was comfortable during the day and night. The garden was of a good enough size to accommodate 2 retriever dogs and secure. The off road parking easily accommodated a people carrier. The area was quiet even though located on a residential street. The property has good access to local amenities Inc supermarkets, dog walks, A1, air museum. Would recommend and would return.
-
"Some of the windows need attention."
It is hot and windows need to be able to open. The garden also needs attention, overgrown bushes. On a more positive note it was a comfortable short stay and had everything we needed.
-
"Nice and central, garden secure, everything we needed was there and close to some lovely walks with our dog."
Lovely 4 night getaway. Would highly recommend
-
"House was lovely and clean and warm, beds were comfy and Property is in a good location to town, about a 10 min walk."
Good parking and garden is fully enclosed if you are taking a dog with you. Coop just down the road, which is handy. Only thing that let it down was the sofas, which are really low, anyone with knee or hip problems may have trouble getting up off them.
-
"My friend and I have been to Cherry Lodge several times over the last few years to fish the river Trent."
The house is very nice and the couple who own the house are very nice people.
-
"This is a well provisioned spacious house and was well presented."
The beds were very comfortable. Newark is an attractive town with lots of things to do and visit nearby. The only thing we found was the sofas were too low to be comfortable so we sat in the dining chairs which was ok but not ideal
-
"We had a few nights here."
Great size for a family of 5 with a dog. Incredibly clean and good size bedrooms. A lovely homely feel. And a great location to base yourself whilst exploring the area!
-
"We really enjoyed our stay."
The cottage was very comfortable, clean and very well equipped with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The styling of the property added to our enjoyment. I particularly appreciated the vintage charm of the bedrooms and the William Morris wallpaper in the cloakroom.
-
"My friend and I have stayed at Cherry Lodge several times as we use it as a base for our trips to fish the Trent."
It is very comfortable and clean and I would recommend it. We are due back there again in March.
-
"Lovely place to stay."
Everything we needed. Very convenient for shopping
-
"Very comfortable stay, thank you."
-
"A good base to catch up with people from the past."
All we required was in the house.We would use again better then staying in hotels . Great for dog walks . Thank you
-
"Lovely house, in amazing location."
So close to Queens Sconce and town centre. First time in Newark and will definitely be back, great shops, pubs, antiques!
-
"Well equipped, spacious, ideally situated for town centre - perfect for our two week stay in Newark."
Very comfortable sofas and the front rooms were nice and cool when the weather was hot, thanks to the tree in the front garden. A couple of problems occurred but these were dealt with promptly by the owners.
-
"It had everything we needed and a garden Nellie ( our dachshund) Central for visiting family"
-
"Ideal location, short walk into town & local park."
Lovely kitchen/diner conservatory. Nice back garden. Comfortable bed. Couple of small things that can make a big difference: Very dark in the living room & master bedroom, the large tree in the front garden could do with pruning. Another towel rail in the bathroom would be helpful, had to put the bath towels over the banister.
-
"Settees and chairs generally uncomfortable and too low."
The beds were very comfortable but woken early by neighbours banging. Basin in bathroom tiny and can't open bathroom door fully because bath is in way. Garden secure for dogs and lovely park just 5 minute walk.
-
"Lovely house and garden."
Great location! We were visiting family in Newark. Loved our stay! Improvement suggestions to make it 5 star? Pizza cutter in kitchen, black out blinds or curtains in bedrooms (getting light at 4.30) and a smart TV.
-
"What a little gem!"
This home exceeded our expectations. It was in a excellent location within walking distance of a beautiful park, co-op and the town centre. The home was clean and the extra touches like luxury handwash and drink station were highly appreciated! The beds were so comfy and spacious the conservatory eating space was a lovely addition, we are very much planning to visit again.
-
"We had such a nice stay, everything was great, and was so quiet compared to what we’re used to in London!"
Great facilities, and we loved eating breakfast together in the conservatory in the sun (not quite warm enough to sit outside yet). Really easy location, within walking distance to the centre and local amenities. The only tiny issue was the single bedroom, the duvet cover was too small for the duvet, so it was lumpy/uncomfortable to sleep with.
-
"Very happy with Cherry Lodge."
Clean, comfortable and well equipped. We would certainly return. Devon and Sconce Park very good for dog walking.
-
"This was the second time we have stayed at Cherry Lodge and hope to go back again later this year."
The accommodation is very good and would recommend it to anyone. We use it as a base for fishing the river Trent as we are members of the Nottingham Piscatorials.
-
"We enjoyed our stay at cherry lodge all amenities were in walking distance plenty of places to walk the dog."
The garden was perfect for our dog. Over all very good hope to visit again in the future
-
"Lovely cottage, only issue was the fact that heating turned off during the day, when the cottage became very cold and seemed to go on at night or early hours of the morning."
Thank you for making us aware of this. It appears a previous guest had changed the settings on the thermostat. It is now set, as it always should be, to a simple temperature control function. Property Owner

"A lovrlt vottage jn a grest locstion."
Kitchen was well equipped but could do with a measuring jug. For some reason there were no shelves in the fridge which made storing essentials in the fridge quite difficult.
Unfortunately the shelf in the fridge was broken during the clean immediately prior to your visit. I had no way of letting you know as the contact phone number that I was given for you was your home telephone number. I have ordered two new shelves for the fridge which will be put in place before the next guests arrive. If I had had your mobile phone number I would, of course, have let you know about this issue. I do hope that this inconvenience did not affect your stay to much. Property Owner

"This was our third time staying in Cherry Lodge, visiting family and friends in Newark."
House was very clean and welcoming, as usual. The only suggestion I would make is that a blind/window covering needs fitting to the bathroom window, especially now that housing is built at the back of the property, as it wasn't very private using the bathroom. Otherwise a very enjoyable stay.
-
"Very well kept property, in a quiet residential street."
Easy walk into town and a nice park nearby. Property is clean and comfortable.
-
"First time in the Newark-on-Trent area."
Quaint little town with some decent cafés and pubs. Would recommend The Prince Rupert for a quirky menu and good beer. Easy to get to Lincoln, Nottingham and just an hour and 20 minutes to Skegness. The cottage is situated close to the town centre and a few eateries round and about. There is a decent co-op 3 minutes walk away.
-
"We were only there two days when a very large contingent of heavy plant machinery turned up 30 feet from the property."
The noise from 7.45am went on till 5pm. It was horrendous, even the property was vibrating. I called the owner who said there was to be minimal disturbance but quite the opposite. She was lovely about it and offered us 4 days later on but YOU as the agent should be held responsible for the lack of info to the customer, we would never have visited the property.
-
"A great location with easy walking access to Newark, superfast wifi, and all the facilities on hand for a great holiday or weekend break."
-
"Perfect location and dog friendly too."
very clean and had everything we needed. Newark is a lovely place to visit and not too far to visit sherwood forest. on the house maybe curtains would be nice at the windows just to make it a little more homely but beds were very comfortable and house had everything we needed so thank you would definitely go back
-
"Cherry Lodge was near to the centre of Newark on Trent attractions, a pleasant walk to the lock & Castle & the shops."
A lovely park was a few minutes walk which was great to give our dogs a run. There were plenty of extras in the home.The beds were very comfortable . It was a very interesting shingle garden. It was a most enjoyable week away
-
