Lovely Steading
The steading was beautiful, amazingly well appointed, we wanted for nothing. All rooms were spacious with storage and lovely bathrooms. All the services of the hotel at our disposal and the warm friendly staff and great well priced food made our stay even better. We will definitely be returning!

Family gathering
We rented No 1 The steading for 3 nights over Christmas. Communication and check-in was easy and welcoming. Lots of parking in front of the house. The house was just perfect. Modern comfort with a cottage feel. It was immaculately clean. Furnished and decorated to a very high standard, with fluffy towels and quality bedding, well equipped kitchen, comfy lounge with cushions and throws. Warm and cosy with central heating and the log burner. A lovely touch was the Christmas tree and welcome pack full of goodies. We all felt really at home and although we didn’t use the hotel the bar and restaurant seemed equally cosy and welcoming. My only suggestion would be for more crockery and cutlery as we seemed to keep running out. Highly recommended!

Vielen Dank für die schöne Woche!
