A self contained space for two accessed by stairs. The space The steading is a self contained, private accommodation for two people and is all on one level, accessed by its own private front door and stairs. A back door takes you out into your own private garden area with decking, as the garden is not enclosed we don't allow dogs to join you during your stay. Upstairs the entire space has recently been renovated and is well insulated throughout but also includes central heating. The entire floor, except the bathroom and entrance, which have floor tiles, has beautiful oak flooring. Excellent WiFi connection provided. The living area has a wood burning stove and we have an endless supply of logs to keep you extra cosy. The Velux windows open fully and offer views across the fields to the hills. The living space has a smart TV and a large, extra comfortable sofa to relax on with a single large arm chair and coffee table. The living space is open plan to the dining area and kitchen and completely open to the landing and stairs to the entrance. There is a table with two chairs behind the couch, creating a perfect dining space for two or a little work station if required. The kitchen is fully equipped with oven, hob, fridge with small freezer, washing machine, kettle, toaster, microwave and plenty of cutlery, pots and pans, utensils and crockery for your stay. The landing is a really lovely open space so we created a small relaxing seated area for one….perfect for reading a book or magazine. The bedroom is off the hallway and has a luxurious king sized bed, lovely chairs and bedside tables with lamps, a chest of drawers and a hanging rail with hangers. A hairdryer lives in the top drawer of the chest of drawers too. All bed linen is provided. The best room in the steading is definitely the large bathroom, accessed off the hallway and across from the bedroom. Whether you love a hot, deep bath or a rainfall shower we have you covered. Our free standing bath sits in front of a large window with views of the woodland outside and the hills beyond. There is also a roller blind fitted to the window. The shower has space for two and we have Arran Aromatic products for you to enjoy during your stay. A set of towels is provided for each guest. Although the accommodation is all on one level the open plan aspect of the property and the open staircase down to the entrance makes it unsuitable for infants on the move, whether they are crawling or walking. We do not provide a travel cot, guests must bring their own. The steading is in a semi-rural location, situated two miles drive (mostly on single track road) from the nearest village of Bankfoot. The steading is surrounded by arable farmland, woodland and hills. The road from the village can get icy in the winter.
