Pat&Shirls Aberdeen/South Africa
Review Submitted: July 8, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We stayed at 'The Steading' early June for a week. We were very pleased with the property. Its location was just what we were hoping for as we wanted to tour the North, West and East of this beautiful area. The information we received prior to arrival was extremely helpful and accurate. The Steading was very well equiped and everything matched!! The owner was friendly and most helpful with local information on walks, castles etc.

Would certainly recommend this property and the location.

A beautiful cottage and a wonderfull setting

Hazel and John Haddington East Lothian Scotland
Review Submitted: October 9, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2008
We stayed at the Steading on 12 - 19 Sep 2009, a charming cottage in a lovely area. One of the best holidays we have had, the cottage was an ecellent base for traveling and sight seing or just a chill out with a galss of wine and taking in the spectacular view. The owners have taken the time to put together a book on local attractions and walks all very interesting and gave us loads of ideas. The owner was very welcoming and created a wonderful atomosphere, topped by a lovely gift basket with bits and bobs you may need, and a bottle of wine.

What a Lovely Place

jillymekins Aberdeen
Review Submitted: October 5, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Me and my husband spent our two weeks honeymoon in the steading it was lovely and peaceful just what we wanted. The Steading is modern and up to date. There was never a day when we were stuck for ideas of activites if anything there are too many things to do, so much choice we will certainly be returning in the near future to do all the things we never had time for. We certainly recommend the pony trekking in alladale and a day trip to ullapool to have fish and chips at the harbour.

Perfect!!!

Véro&Philippe Lyon/France
Review Submitted: September 23, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We spent a wonderful week in july 2009 with 2 of our children there and really appreciated the cottage : beautifully decorated, well equiped, clean, quiet and a such a warm welcome (fresh flowers, fresh aromatic herbs and scottish products).
Even when the weather was rainy (well, it's Scottland!), we stayed "at home" with great pleasure enjoying DVDs.
The location is very convenient to visit the Highlands and we will certainly recommend it to people looking for accomodation in this part of the country.
And of course our next trip to Scotland will include a week there!

A beautifull cottage

Aad, Annelies, Ciska & Erwin Heemskerk, the Netherlands
Review Submitted: September 20, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We stayed the first week of August in the Steading and the weather was fine. We were very pleased with the property. It is very well equiped and very clean.
The owners are very friendly and helpfull (when our car broke down in the middle of nowhere). They recommend some trips to drive to and some walks.
One of the most beautifull trips we made was to Handa Island, a very nice island on the west coast.
