Welcome

Since 2006, we’ve welcomed dogs and their well-behaved mums and dads from Eire, France, Italy and Germany and from all parts of the UK.Anne and Kashka

Our canine visitors have ‘begged’ to come back again and again and we enjoy 40% return business from mums and dads who tell us our cottages are better than a home from home. Here, they can truly relax, enjoying stunning walks in the Angus Glens, or just sitting in the courtyard sipping tea or something stronger, while their dogs nose around our safe, enclosed gardens.

We’ve raised the bar in self-catering accommodation for dogs, achieved 5 stars and added little extras to make the Steadings very special. We don’t think “doggy” people should have to accept anything less than a high standard of accommodation, stylish decor and meticulously clean cottages, carefully prepared for their arrival.

Dogs come free and we are flexible, so we don’t say no to four dogs in a cottage. We understand most of their little tricks so we don’t have a long list of do’s and don’ts. Instead, we trust our canine guests to bring responsible, well-behaved mums and dads.
