Sally was very welcoming, The cottage was magnificent with all the extra comfy touches, great peaceful setting, and a definite 10/10 rating. We definitely come again and stay.
Fantastic B&B, incredibly neat & tidy & with all the necessities to make for a very comfortable weekend stay. A well-stocked fireplace for cold & wet winter nights was a treat. In a great location to visit all the delights of Red Hill & the surrounds.
A idillic property in the perfect location. We had a wonderful three nights enjoying all of the surrounds Red Hill offers. Can’t wait to stay again at Stringybark.
We really enjoyed our stay at Stringbark Cottage. It was clean, comfortable and had a lovely view over the paddocks with resident sheep for entertainment. We would definitely stay there again.
Secluded cottage perfect for a couple next to nature. Excellent presentation with a friendly host. Perfect location to explore the area in any direction!
The cottage is specious and comfortable with a lovelly view on to the paddock with the 3 sheep. It is old fashoined country hospitality with modern day comfort.
The property is gorgeous and so cozy with the wood fire, and the heated bathroom floor and towel rails are very luxurious. The cottage is meticulously clean, bed super comfy and linen was lovely. We were very charmed by the three sheep. Plenty of walkable options for food and drinks, we enjoyed lunch at the brewery and a wine tasting at Red Ridge (both practically across the road).
This private, secluded cottage is perfect for a Mornington Peninsula getaway. Ample space and amenities and ideally situated for everything the Mornington Peninsula has to offer. We have stayed several times and enjoy the peace, serenity and location.
We had a lovely break at Stringybark Cottage. The cottage is immaculately clean. It has everything you need.It's very relaxing looking out at the trees and sheep. The host is extremely nice.
