The Steading Reviews

We were all very sad to leave this fantastic property! Lovely location, clean, welcoming and plenty of space to spend time together but also have a bit of our own time! The property was really well equipped and furnished to a high standard. It had everything we needed and more! Ross was an attentive host who clearly cares about his guests and their experiences and was available to offer advice and recommendations about places to gosights to see! It was lovely to have some basics as well as some treats! left for us on arrival so we didnt immediately have to go shopping! Would 110 recommend The Steading to anyone and hope to be back!

Elaine

A fabulous home to relax in after exploring a beautiful area! The facilities are luxurious and beautifully presented, and our host, Ross, was so welcoming and friendly, well definitely be back to stay again.

The house was fantastic and I would return in a heartbeat!

Great property, all we needed was there. Absolutely spotless. Totally blown away with the property, far exceeded our expectations

From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, we can't fault anything. There were some minor little bits that need attention, but that's to be expected with any property. It was spacious allowing the family to have their own space. We were not under each other's feet at all. The host, Ross, was excellent, very friendly and just left us to it. He even offered to walk the dogs through the forests, although we managed to wear them out on a daily basis. It was great to find everything anyone could need on their holidays from a pair of scissors to crayons for the kids and plenty of books to read and games to play. The view from the hot tub was spectacular, and a great location to meet the neighbours. Space for parking cars was plentyful. The field opposite was a quick fix to run the dogs and wear them out. Two friendly sheep in neighbouring field, curious to see what you were up to. Being in a secluded location was simply perfect. Wouldn't hesitate to return to this fabulous property.

Outstanding property and we all had a fantastic weeks holiday. Ross the owner was helpful and available for advice on the local area, we will definitely return. We were a party of 5 adults and 2 dogs and all had loads of space as its a huge quality property!

Sheena

Fantastic property, ideal location. Fitted out to a very high standard, everything you could need was supplied. Lovely touches including a perfect welcome gift of goodies, much appreciated. Ross very helpful, nothing too much bother. Found our new happy place and will be back. Thanks Ross.

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

Fantastic property, stayed for a week and enjoyed the peaceful location. The property is extremely spacious and very comfortable. Very close to Dumries and lots of things to do in the area. Ross was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed

We stayed for 4 nights in April and i can say that the pictures on the website do not do the property justice. We have been on staycations for over 20 years and this could be the best one yet. The place is huge and has everything you will need, The property owner Ross could be one of the most attentive owners we have come across. I would recommend this property to everyone as due the size you can all have your own space. Our dog Ralf loved playing with one of the farmers dogs in the courtyard on a daily basis.

Lesley

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!!
