Lovely location & beautiful steading accommodation with friendly hosts who are very welcoming. Everything was spotless, the accommodation was very well equipped, the furnishings were very tasteful and the garden was great with gorgeous views. Perfect for our family group and two dogs. Super treats for both humans and dogs, on arrival! Have already booked our next trip.

Alison United Kingdom

Spacious property and well kept garden. Plenty of space in the garden for our dog to stretch his legs. The kitchen had all the crockery, cutlery and utensils needed. Our dog loved the treats left for him and we appreciated the biscuits and wine left for us. The friendly owners live next door but didn’t intrude and were on hand if we needed them. Very grateful for the loan of a harness and lead for our dog when we left ours at a castle 90 mins away! Vielen dank!

Jane United Kingdom

The Steading was immaculate with all necessities in place. We were afforded the privacy we desired but Nadja and Jan were on hand if any need arose. Many thanks.

Ian United Kingdom

A lovely property - much nicer than in the photos. Very spacious and light. Two full bathrooms with independent hot water systems. Full central heating (although we didn't need it) and a woodburner. Very friendly owners, who live in the next-door (separate and detached) property.

Simon United Kingdom

Lovely property with welcoming hosts. Clean, well equiped with an enclosed garden and lovely views - we've already booked our next stay.

Alison United Kingdom

The property is very clean, spacious and warm. The hosts greeted us when we arrived and when we left. They even let us have a sledge when it was snowing and our children had great fun in the snow. It’s very peaceful and relaxing. The hosts are lovely, thoughtful and offered to get something from the shop when it was snowing.

Chin United Kingdom

House was lovely - large rooms and unique layout. All very comfortable. Was good having Broadband WiFi too!

Russell United Kingdom

The owner lived on the same grounds and was there to greet us as we arrived. Very welcoming and two lovely dogs who were very friendly

Dave United Kingdom

Where do I start. The property is stunning, really I cannot stress that enough and the pictures on Booking.com though they are good they really do not fully capture the property you will stay in, if I could give higher than a 10 I would. Our hosts were lovely and attentive and every comfort that could be provided had been. Obviously we kept our distance due to the covid situation so its a shame we couldn't interact too often. It rained every day pretty much but this for once didn't matter as we were in a property where staying indoors is a delightful experience. Wifi was excellent which for me who had to work while on holiday (sob) made everything so much easier. The surroundings are peaceful and as a get away from the noisy city was very strange at first to hear almost nothing but you got used to it really quick and I had some of the best nights sleep in ages.

Alexander United Kingdom

Super friendly and welcoming hosts 👍we had a fantastic time, the place is full of love and great atmosphere!! The bed was so comfortable I slept like at home ❤️ highly recommended we will definitely be back!!!

  • Is the property single storied? Is there a shower available as well as bath?
    Hi, Thanks for your interest. There are stairs but not a full flight, 6 steps from landing to the living room and the shower is over the bath. I hope that helps.
    Answered on 27 January 2020
  • Do you have a washing machine? We have a baby and a 4 year old, so would there be space for a cot (which we can bring). Many thanks Alyson
    Hi Alyson. Yes in the cottage is a washing machine and enough space for a cot. But no tumble dryer. Kind regards Nadja

Woodside Steading offers fantastic, relaxed and spacious self-catering accommodation in the heart of rural Aberdeenshire. A 500 meter uphill gravel track leads to the comfortable holiday let. It is a characterful 19th century detached two-bedroom converted stone steading set within the peaceful grounds of our home (4 acres). Woodside Steading is perfect for couples in search of a comfortable and romantic retreat, for families requiring all the ease of home and for friends travelling together. This cottage is like a home with wood-burning stove, well equipped kitchen, galleried living room, large master bedroom suite, separate dining area, spacious second bedroom, ample parking and space for BBQ's on the patio area which offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. We encourage you to forget the rat race, relax and slow down in beautiful Aberdeenshire and enjoy the tranquil countryside, quiet lanes, rich history and fantastic places to explore. Walking, cycling, skiing and fishing are all readily available on our doorstep, whilst stunning beaches are only a 45-minute drive away.
We are located in the village of Kennethmont, near to the charming market town of Huntly. Woodside Steading is nestled amongst the rolling hills adjacent to the National Trust Property of Leith Hall, with spectacular views of the Tap’o’Noth Hill Range. Woodside Steading offers the perfect location to experience from the grounds the natural world in all it's beauty from dark skies (twinkling stars and if you're really lucky the Northern Lights!) to wildlife (foxes, red deer, wildcats, squirrels etc), Our elevated position on the side of the hill, allows guests to experience the wonders of the Scottish weather, with four seasons possible in one day! Watch as the clouds roll in, the rainbow appears and the sun shines through all from the comfort of our cosy steading. Lovely lovely Aberdeenshire - "Castle Country", "Whisky Country", "Stone Circle Country". rolling countryside quickly ascends to moor and mountain, or descends to sandy beaches (16miles at Balmedie) or spectacular cliffs and coves. No holiday would be complete without a family hill walk onto Bennachie to see the whole county stretched out before you in every direction.
