Stratford Cottage is a lovely play to stay - thoughtfully curated to ensure comfort during your stay from the a/c and central heating to the very comfortable beds. The kitchen was excellent for some communal cooking. The yard was perfect for a picnic and well enclosed to keep our curious dog bounded. The instructions and documentation for the property were complete and clear. We had a lovely time and hope to visit again. Hugely recommended.

Gorgeous little cottage - we had a lovely weekend with our daughter and dogs. The dining/back room is perfect to see the sun come up (and the local kangaroos) and relax during the day while the cosy living room and fireplace is ideal in the evenings. The garden is beautiful too - would be great in summer. Thank you!

We had an absolutely lovely weekend at Stratford cottage. Communication with Pauline was exceptional. The additional information provided about places to eat and walk (particularly the dog friendly options) were very much appreciated. Every room in the cottage is well equipped from the kitchen to the bedrooms and bathroom. Cleanliness and comfort were two standouts.The crazy weather saw us able to light the fire on our first night, sit in the sunshine for breakfast the next morning and then apply copious amounts of sunscreen during our walks. The garden was heaven for my apartment dwelling dog.I genuinely recommend this gem of a cottage and would be happy to stay again.

Thank you for your detailed and complimentary review, Natasha. You never know what the weather will bring at the mountains and it can change quite quickly. I am glad you found the cottage comfortable and relaxing and do hope that you will book again. The garden is great for the dogs as they can go right around the house and explore as it is fully fenced as long as the front and side gates are locked.

Charming Character-filled Mountain Getaway

We were really impressed by the comfort, warmth and cleanliness of this property. All communication with the owner was prompt and informative, we appreciated the great suggestions which we followed for walks, sights and places to eat. Our dog felt very welcome and catered for too.

Beautiful Blue Mountains Getaway

We had the loveliest weekend at Pauline’s cottage. It was even prettier than it looked in the pictures, and was really well set up for our family of 4 and dog. Comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and great shower/bath. Would definitely book to stay here again.

We love staying at this cottage. It felt like home away from home. With its country style, well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds and lovely dinning / sun room. It was cold outside, but the fireplace and central heating gave the place a very cosy feeling. The neighbourhood felt safe and the small garden was big enough for my dog to enjoy a good explore. Mt Victoria, even though the climate is colder, it is well positioned to visit the hinterlands and other locations in the Blue Mountains. Walks from the cottage are very convenient and picturesque.
