"We stayed in Cherry Lodge, with a hot tub. My husband needed an accessible bathroom..it was lovely. He used the ramp entry into the lodge easily we felt very relaxed. My granddaughter, two and a half, loved the playground. It is a resort still in development, but we were not disturbed by building noise at all. Haystax close proximity to Gateshead made visiting our son easy. We went to Beamish living museum, that was amazing..and it's also close by. Lorna gave us careful check in instructions and left a lovely hamper..thankyou."
