Cranberry Cottage is a friendly small fronted giftshop within the stone built abode of a property dating back many hundred years. Situated in a conservation area of historic importance, Higham Ferrers High Street prevents the bold display of signs to promote the presence of Cranberry Cottage, however as time passes more & more loyal customers kindly recommend us to relatives & friends.
