Accessibility Guide for Strathmore

Welcome

Strathmore is a gorgeous new addition to our portfolio and ticks almost every box in the border town of Wooler. This beautifully-refurbished Victorian semi-detached home built in 1890 was the original residence of the first village vet and had been for 3 generations. Now completely refurbished, Strathmore oozes luxury and is perfectly equipped for the modern family seeking a country escape in this large luxury house with a hot tub. Strathmore sleeps 10 guests in 5 bedrooms across 3 floors. 2 well behaved dogs welcome.
