Strath stores is an ideal little shop for locals and tourists alike to get daily basic essentials…read more They supply the main things such as freshly baked breads/rolls and cakes etc, as well as having a deli counter too. There are fridges and a couple of freezers out the back which store some frozen food, as well as pies, freshly prepared salads and rice dishes, and other dairy products.

They don't only do shopping, but there is also internet access available upon request, which is such a good key point especially with a caravan park just next to them, holiday makers can access the internet while on holiday.
