I had a wonderful six-night stay with two friends at Strawberry Lodge. The lodge is beautiful â clean, bright, and airy, with amazing all round views. All the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the comfortable beds made sure we all had great nightâs sleep. The kitchen is well equipped for all our needs, making self-catering simple and enjoyable. We were delighted with the lovely welcome hamper on arrival, and it was so thoughtful of the owner to check in to make sure weâd arrived safely and settled in. Being surrounded by sheep and geese, and seeing the turkeys nearby, really added to the countryside charm and atmosphere. It was also such a refreshing relief not to be asked to strip beds on our final morning! A perfect, quiet, and relaxing stay â weâd love to return and would highly recommend Strawberry Lodge.

A great location on a working farm with gorgeous views. Very comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped. A lovely breakfast hamper was waiting for us which if you arrive late is very welcome. Highly recommended!
