.. it far outdid expectations. The rooms were beautiful and the whole house brilliantly kitted out in both furnishings, style and equipment which made our break so easy. The layout of the house was really great too - heaps of space and always either a quiet nook to escape to or warm room to engage with the family. The games room was a huge hit with kids and adults alike and the fireplace a real winner. The views are incredible too. We promised ourselves we'd return.

Everything was as described. The property had plenty of room and was very comfortably furnished. The pool room / games room was great and we spent many evening hours playing pool and table football . A chalkboard for recording scores would be a useful addition for us competitive types . Our party of 8 adults and two children had plenty of room and were not under each others feet at all during our stay. The Steadings is in a great area, enjoying wonderful views across the valley to Rothbury. Rothbury was a great large village with shops and amenities to suit all. We had a great week and would readily book again. The only things to be aware of would be the very slippery ( but lovely) wooden floors in the living room and steps to the living room. Thank you for such a lovely holiday in a great area.

The house felt very homely and welcoming and beautifully decorated. We always take our dogs with us and found that the courtyard was secure and felt quite relived that we knew they safe and the lawn to the side enabled us to tire them out with ball games whilst looking out at the wonderful views.We would certainly recommend it to our friends thank you.
