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.

Divine! Beautifully designed accommodation of the highest standards of comfort and style. It’s clear that the proprieties have very discerning tastes with strong attention to detail. I highly recommend this venue. Settled in the Tay Valley and surrounded by stunning countryside and the beautiful town is f Aberfeldy.

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.

Beautiful steading in a fabulous location. Perfectly equipped and furnished with spectacular views over the countryside. Plenty of local restaurants and activities within a short drive…..car essential. Field of deer and stags at the bottom of the drive.

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.

Blown away. This B&B is bespoke design by architect. The standard of every single finishing touch was absolutely perfect, would love to return. The location was so peaceful too. Thank you for providing us with a place we will never forget. Lovely hosts.
