“So grateful that we chose Bowhill Grange for a stay whilst visiting Oatlands for a winter garden event. Ruth & Peter are the most charming hosts. Ruth’s platter that we had for dinner was delicious & we enjoyed it with a wine as we sat by Peter’s well lit fire. Elizabeth’s Cottage was so warm & cozy on a winters night. It is decorated so tastefully & has everything you might ever need. Such a picturesque, quiet setting, yet so close to historic Oatlands. Next time we will bring our husbands & stay longer !”

“We had a magical 3 nights at Bowhill Grange. Ruth and Peter were perfect hosts. This was the BEST airbnb experience we have had. The cottage had lots of special touches that made us feel at home and pampered. We highly recommended the delicious platter Ruth prepared for us. The surroundings were idealic and so peaceful but at the same time has Oatlands village down the road with bars, cafes and historical sites. If you are a golfer the oldest golf course in Australia is 40 minutes away. All in all, we had a perfect stay.”

“Ruth and Peter are just delightful hosts, they think of everything. Thoughtful touches such as underfloor heating in bathroom and bedroom. Lighting the open fire before your arrival, having plenty of wood available only metres away. Lovely interiors which are not over done and have been created with love and care. Books to read and games to play. A kitchenette which has everything tucked away.
We stayed in Shepherds Rest and the temperature was -2 we have never been more cosy and warm. Opening the drapes in the morning nice and warm and then seeing the frozen fields made it difficult for us to leave this little nest.
Thank you Ruth and Peter for making our midlands stay warm and toasty we look forward to seeing you next time.”
