Testimonials
Somercotes is a must on your Tasmanian to do list. Staying in the cottages is like stepping back in time. Lucky for us, we visited during the cherry season so were treated to a private tour of the cherry orchards (mind you the cherries are the best I have ever tasted!) Friends of ours had suggested that we visit Somercotes and I’m so pleased we did. We were made to feel very welcome during our stay – nothing was too much trouble. All in all it was an experience we will never forget – from the beautiful setting to the historic buildings and of course those beautiful fresh cherries.
