I have never felt such peace whilst staying at a hotel. The scenery was fantastic, the hotel owners were so friendly, the wildlife just passed through the garden as though it was the most natural thing to do, we saw hares run across the lawn and deer down by the loch - magical! The sunsets magnificent.
The food was excellent, although a little pricey but excellent if you want a special evening meal, breakfast was great!
We took our dog and although he wasn't allowed in the restaraunt whilst food was being served he was allowed in the bar afterwards.
I would highly recommend it.

Hotel was uninspiring though…. Food good but unfortunately the exorbitant drinks prices took the edge off our stay.

Situated approx 20 mins drive from Inverness on the road to Loch Ness & Fort Augustus, The Steadings is located in beautiful, breathtaking scenery, set in the Strathnairn valley. I stayed in Flichity, a lovely room with a large very comfortable four poster bed. What sets this exclusive hotel out from others, apart from its location, is the hospitality provided by the new owners which extends to excellent cuisine using local produce. Having suffered a cancelled flight, the hotel not only provided me with a room for the night but looked after my every need down to supplying me with toothbrush and razor. Whether you're a business traveller looking for a home from home in a beautful setting or a holidaymaker looking for a hotel ideally located for the tourist activities offered by the Highlands, then you must try The Steadings. You won't be disappointed!!! Superb!!!!!!
