The Steading

As I say on the porch area in front of the room one word came to mind. Perfection. Watching the ever changing landscape with a chorus of birdsong was amazing. The room was homely and spacious and the host made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be returning to the steading.

Lovely location. Lots of walking routes nearby. Close to Menzies Castle and Highland Safaris. Perfect location for us. Room was clean and well presented. Slept well. Plenty of towels and hot water. Limited view from the accommodation we were in but would stay again.

There was nothing my wife and I *didn't* love about this place. The Superior Apartment was just that: superior. The location (about 25 minutes south of Inverness on Loch Ness) was our ideal place. We traveled from Inverness to the Glencoe region and up to Rosemarkie with beautiful views all along the way and no excessively long drives (especially because so many things to see are on the way to others). Sheila (our host) is amazing, friendly, and a literal font of knowledge about nearby places and tips on better experiences. And the breakfasts were amazing and abundant. Nearby Drumnadrochit provided all we needed (and you must eat at Fiddler's when you go there). I could rave about this place all day. If you're an off the beaten path, look at the stars at night, sleep in the quiet and beauty of nature person, book this place! Tell Sheila you'll take Scott's table.

I thought the term bed and breakfast spoke for itself. But apparently at this bed and breakfast, breakfast is an optional extra at another £20 per head. The host provides the breakfast items but preparation and washing up afterwards are down to the guest! I hadn't realised this when we booked so we had to go out and buy food in with no help from the host re the nearest supermarket etc. When we arrived on a very cold day 9 degrees the room was really cold. We couldn't see any obvious heating controls but an email to the host (who lived on site but preferred to communicate by email) revealed they were hidden by a curtain. It was the next morning before the room felt comfortable. The heated towel rail in the bathroom was not working and awaiting a plumber so using the bathroom wasn't a pleasant experience. No notification of this before our arrival and no offer of a price reduction. The website for the Steading makes much of the fabrics and toiletries suggesting a cosy stay. Our experience was the opposite. Sterile and unwelcoming.

This is a beautiful experience. Lovely surroundings, the owners had thought of everything that made the stay that more luxurious. From the vase of garden flowers,whisky,white company toiletries and milk in the fridge. Great value for money and would definitely return.Thank you.

We stayed in the Store for 7 nights. Breakfast was provided in the room, enough for 2 for 2 days. This consisted of cereal (granola, wheat biscuits, muesli and porridge), milk, orange juice, yogurt, smoked salmon and fruit. There was also a small decanter of whisky and a bottle of sparking spring water which was a delight (the whisky more than the water of course!). The bed was very comfortable and the room was cleaned every 2 days. Fresh flowers were left on the dining table at the beginning of the week. The ensuite was a shower room with fresh towels, floor mats and dressing gowns. The shower was always powerful and warm. This accommodation is set back a fair distance from the main road so you are not disturbed by any passing traffic. It is very peaceful but you can be slightly disturbed by the guests up in the room called the Loft above and when it is being cleaned late in the afternoon. This place is in Dull, a nice, long riverside walk away from Aberfeldy. The walk is off the main road and takes over an hour.
