  • "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

    Thanks so much Claire . You were the perfect guests and the perfect family for The Steading , it was as if you had lived there for years . You are a well traveled and have vast experience with holiday cottages & this type of get away and your views and advice was very useful for me as I continue to develop and Improve the offerings at The Steading. I look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

  • "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. It’s modern spacious clean well maintained basically everything you need for a Super break away.

    So happy you enjoyed the property and your stay Lesley . It was a pleasure having you all. I wish your mother a speedy recovery.. I hope to welcome you back to The Steading sometime in the future. Property Owner

  • "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 you’re 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!!

    Really pleased you all had such a great experience & The Steading met all your requirements. This is everything I hoped you would take away from your stay and it makes all the hard work and attention to detail really rewarding and worthwhile. I apologise the pool table was not in place for your stay , being my first ever guests it was the one and only part of the preparation that did not meet the deadline for your arrival. Also i thank you for leaving everything so clean and tidy . I look forward to welcoming you all back as I continue to improve and develop the complete Holliday cottage package. Property Owner

Known as the Queen of the South, Dumfries is a market town and former royal burgh and is the largest town in south west Scotland. It lies close to the mouth of the River Nith as it opens into the Solway Firth. Its origins are mysterious and are believed to involve at various times the ancient Romans, St Ninian and there is evidence of King Arthur having fought battles in the area. It is also held that Malcolm Canmore and William the Conqueror met here in the 11th century and William Wallace pursued the English through the surrounding Nith valley 200 years later. Robert the Bruce killed his rival John Comyn in the Greyfriars Kirk in Dumfries and Bonnie Prince Charlie stayed in the town for a few days in the mid 18th century and the poet Robert Burns moved to Dumfries in 1791 and staying until his death five years later. Today Dumfries is a bustling popular town with much to offer the visitor. Its location makes it ideal for exploring the coastline with its sandy beaches and rocky inlets to the Galloway Hills and Ae forest offering superb walking and cycling on the famous 7 stanes trails. Visit stunning Caerlaverock Castle and Nature Reserve or indulge in some high octane excitement with the Scottish Rally based in Dumfries each summer.
