Weekend away.
Amazing little cottage style home all to ourselves. Beautifully furnished and homely. Doug and Julie have gone above and beyond to provide a very comfortable and welcoming stay and made even more perfect with little things such as homemade bread, homemade jams, fresh milk and orange juice. 10/10 stay and will absolutely come back and also recommend to all our friends and family.

Strathmore in the rain- warm and inviting!
Strathmore was a great spot to stay for 2 nights. Julie was a very friendly hostess and her property goes beyond being just “ nice” to outstanding- lots of personal touches.

Captivating surrounds, every comfort & delightful hosts
I just loved my stay at the cottage, serenity and comfort combined! So many perfect moments here! Sitting on the terrace in the morning sun, eating fresh baked bread and jam from my charming hosts. Lying in the grass amongst the fruit trees, surrounded by singing birds and butterflies. Watching Netflix on the comfy couch with a throw rug for extra comfort... Doug and Julie have really thought of everything and I would highly recommend a stay with them.
