Beautiful accommodation has everything you need. Stunning views. Clean and comfortable like a home from home. Plenty of outside space. We really enjoyed our week at south Steading. Enjoyed the hot tub and the slippers and robes to use after are a nice touch.

Just got back from a wonderful week at South Steading. The house is beautifully presented and roomy. The garden is huge with amazing views. I have 2 large dogs and the garden was perfect and 100% secure so I could relax. West Kilbride is about ( mins in the car. It had some lovely beaches but the town itself was very quiet. We went to Laargs a couple of times which is beautiful and had more going on, try the Fish works there for amazing fish and chips. I’d definitely recommend a stay at South Steading!
