"How fortunate for us that our daughter chose your B&B for a birthday gift for her Dad's birthday! It gave us a chance to stay in a lovely location and in your excellent accommodation. The freshly made bread delivered on our arrival and your home-made jams and granola were delicious treat."

"It was a most enjoyable stay at the cottage – very welcoming atmosphere and well appointed accommodation, lots of delightful personal touches with the freshly cooked bread and pots of jam. Lovely location tucked away in the hills with great attention to detail in preparing the accommodation for maximum visitor comfort. Well done you and thanks from us!"

"We three women have spent the happiest time at Strathmore Farm. Your welcome was so friendly, the home-made bread and James amazing, and your property is magnificent. One night here has done us all the world of good! Strathmore farm is the chicken soup for the soul - and we love Nina!!"

"Thank you, Julie and Doug for the perfect little stay for the night! Your beds are SO comfy, we all had a great sleep. The brekkie was so lovely and very handy for us travellers too. Cheers!"

"I am the 10-year-old second youngest in this family and I'm here to say that the TV has been great! Thank you for the granola, the bread and the jams and slippers. The cats are really sweet. Our visit was quiet and peaceful and we hope to come again soon!"

"Thank you so much for this delightful day we had at your B&B, it couldn't have been better! The only problem for us is – it is probably too far away from our home to be back again, but we will remember our stay here always with much pleasure and the smell of your delicious bread will stay in our noses forever!"

"Thank you once again for your hospitality! Unexpected excitement, thanks to the massive tornado! Like nothing we'd ever seen, but you were up for the challenge with the generator, chainsaws, tank water – and the complimentary port! ( We'd run out of wine!)"

"We are so glad we found Strathmore Farm! What a beautiful place you have here, Doug and Julie. We felt relaxed and at home the moment we arrived. A glass of your complementary port was the perfect way to end our evening. Although we only stayed for one night, we were very much inspired to come stay again and explore this beautiful part of the world. Thanks so much!"

"The place was awesome. Doug welcomed us warmly, with kindness and humour. We slept quietly and comfortably and breakfast was delicious. Altogether, the atmosphere was magic. Special mention: jams and granola were "super". Thank you and well done guys, from Italy!"

"It was just perfect! Woke up this morning to birds, rabbits at the kitchen window and a beautiful orchard out the front of the cottage. The bed was comfy and I can still smell the freshly home-made bread! I hope to stay again in the New Year!"

"Thank you for being such lovely and amazing hosts and letting us stay at your farm in the cozy cottage! The breakfast was amazing! Wonderful bread and the plum and blackcurrant jam was really, really yummy. We totally enjoyed our stay!"

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness and sharing your lovely cottage. Congrats on the jams, they are much better than the CWA ones! You made us very comfortable"

"Your cottage was the perfect place to spend my birthday weekend. We enjoyed a beautiful walk in the rain at the Lyrebird Walk and strolled about town - and enjoyed being completely lazy!"

"We have only two words to say about our stay – first class! The cottage had everything you would need for being away from home - and more. You were both friendly and we want to thank Doug for his advice and conversation on the history and background to the farm. It is truly sad we couldn't stay for longer!"

"What a cosy little cottage you have made! We enjoyed our stay here immensely, and loved all the small touches, which made us feel right at home. We will be back!."

"we stayed just one night but love how beautiful, warm and well set up the place is. Great instructions upon arrival, so everything went smoothly. Beautiful bread, jams and bubbles. Thank you for making my birthday a very special one. My husband the kids and I loved it."

"Thank you, Doug and Julie for providing everything we could possibly need for a most enjoyable stay. You have truly thought of everything – even guiding our film choice! LOL!! The suggestions for places to visit were very welcome and helpful. We would have not known to visit Mount Worth State Park."

"What a delight your cottage is – a real home away from home! Actually, it's better! We really appreciated your warm welcome and the personal touches such as the delicious home-made bread, jams and granola. We had everything we needed and more. In fact, we were so cozy and comfortable that we cancelled our dinner booking and stayed in for the evening! Our only regret is that we're leaving after only one night – but with happy memories of your delightful Strathmore B&B".

"Strathmore farm, the way to go!
To spend a week or a day or so.
Lovely hot shower and a comfy bed.
Doug and Julie – it must be said.
You keep your guest extremely well fed!"

"What a great find, this has B&B nestled in these verdant hills. First-class offering in every respect. Warm and generous hosts – no wonder Strathmore is so popular. You really have made it a superb destination. It was our pleasure to be your contented guests! Fabulous dinner at Mirboo North pub – an excellent recommend, Doug!"

"The perfect way to end our little cycling tour of Gippsland, except for the hill we are about to tackle to Mirboo North! Lovely sitting here and listening to the birds."

"We are travelling around Australia before go back to Japan in March, and this farm is definitely one of the best places! We really loved here. Relaxing home, friendly animals, lovely home-made treats, and warm welcoming hosts. Thank you for everything!"

"Thank you for sharing your part of paradise with us! We had the most wonderful stay. Everything was beyond 100%. Your friendliness was such a lovely change to the hustle and bustle of "city folk".

"To our great hosts: Thanking you both for your warm welcome and friendly hospitality during our stay at your lovely B&B. Having come from Melbourne, we especially enjoyed the peace and quiet and the beautiful countryside in the area. We really loved your home-baked bread, jams and juices. Plus the port! We wish we could've stayed longer, so that we could attend one of the old time dances in the nearby towns, as we both love ballroom dancing."

"Thank you, Doug and Julie for your warm welcome, and for having us at your beautiful farm. We enjoyed all the jam, bread, milk and tea! Such a lovely area you have here, we can tell the love and effort you put in to make visitors like us feel welcomed. Thanks for your hospitality and kindness. Here is a drawing from Riley (2yo)."

"What a great place! Just what I needed. Thank you kindly for your great hospitality! A couple of mandarins on the bench for you from my dad's garden."

"We had a lovely stay, albeit too short. There is so much exploring we want to do by bicycle around here. Breakfast was lovely, granola fantastic. It is inspired us to make our own again."
