The Steading Reviews

Claire

We booked this as a last minute thing as our other holiday had been cancelled and we are so glad we did. The Steading is simply perfect, everything you read and more. A few hours before we arrived we recieved welcome whatsapps from the owner Ross, explaining how to get there, how to find things around steading, explaining he had left some basic food so if we needed to make a quick tea once we arrived we could. This made for a great welcome and we knew what to expect. The Steading is simply stunning and very spacious. It has everything you need and more, it even as a drying cupboard which was a great addition especially on wet days. The pool table, games, table tennis, telescope, board games and books all made rainy days easy. The hot tub is massive and has the most amazing views, we could get lost in there watching the world go by. The location is perfect, you wouldn't think you were only 8mins from civilisation. There are some amazing beaches and great restaurants within 30mins drive. Now to the star of the show the owner Ross, the best host we have ever had , nothing was too much trouble and he even set up a basket ball net for my youngest to play. He was at hand if anything came up whilst giving you the space you need. He has a wealth of knowledge and recommended some fantastic eateries and local walks We had the absolute best time and feel nice and relaxed ready to tackle the world again Highly recommend and we will definitely be back Just asked my 7yr old what he like the most and he said obviously the basketball net and hottub, but i also loved the bar bit where i ate my tea that was amazing enough said 5 star plus

I booked a week for my mams 80th. The property was stunning with everything you need and more even to the point that i had forgot my hairdryer and the next morning 3 were provided along with hair straighteners. Even though the actual holiday did not go as planned with my mam falling and breaking her hip on the 2nd day so hospital visits and stress ended up the theme for the holiday!!! but the owner Ross could not have been nicer or more helpful an exemplary host nothing seemed to much trouble. The Hottub and Views are amazing. Even the Weather was great. Its modern spacious clean well maintained basically everything you need for a Super break away.

Had a fantastic 5 night stay at The Steading. A wonderfully maintained property that was fully equipped with everything you need and more. Extremely spacious and clean, with a great view from the hot tub! The owner, Ross, provided very helpful videos ahead of our arrival and also welcomed us with a tour of the property and lots of helpful information. The weather was a little hit and miss but there was plenty of space to occupy ourselves with the offerings of board games, films and books when we had a cold rainy day inside. The welcome goodies on arrival were a very thoughtful touch, as well as dressing gowns, slippers and chocolates for all. If youre looking for a relaxing stay in a very spacious and luxurious property, we highly recommend The Steading. Thank you for a great stay Ross, you went above and beyond and nothing was too much trouble. Looking forward to returning soon!!
