Stratham Retreat was for us a RealTREAT. Despite being in the region for business purposes and not having much time to fully appreciate everything the property has to offer, we enjoyed every moment we were there and were able to relax and unwind from our hectic schedule. The property is stunning and very private - huge grounds, beautiful garden, fruit trees galore, birds everywhere and a lovely swimming pool. Our room was comfortable and private - completely separate from the rest of the house and we had everything we needed. Michele is a warm, welcoming and wonderful host and a fun, lovely person (and if I had my way I would not share her with anyone). Anyone who loves dogs will be in the right place and will be lavished with attention. If you are not that way inclined, Molly is so well behaved and well trained she will know to stay out of your way and leave you be. Breakfast was excellent and we took advantage of the numerous home grown fruits and Michele's yummy home made preserves. All in all a lovely stay.
