We stayed at the Steadings in late August. The views were absolutely breathtaking, with the hills covered in multiple shades of wild heather and sheep and cattle grazing throughout. The wildlife is also abundant. As we checked into our room we were greeted by a red deer in the meadow. We also enjoyed watching the rompings of a stoat (wild ferret like animal) in the back yard while we ate our breakfast.
David and Mary, the hosts of the Steadings, are truly amazing people. Their dry sense of humor may be missed on some, but their true enjoyment of meeting people and providing superior service cannot be missed. I have never stayed in a cleaner room, and the little touches David and Mary provide added an extra sense of welcoming. The food was also spectacular, with courses set to complement the entire dining experience. Finally, the wine selection was worth every penny - trust David and Mary's recommendations, they really know what they are talking about. Their after dinner port is absolutely delightful!
