Crieff has always been a favourite of mine and to have this excellent excuse to drop into the town and enjoy some of their great coffee shops and galleries is just wonderful! I was particularly pleased to be all signed up and ready to go this month as the Famous Grouse Experience are hosting their Famous Feastival at the end of May. This is a tremendous event and if you get the chance you really must come along. Along with all the wonderful whiskey and some chocolate masterclasses one of my all time favourite chefs will be in attendance - Tom Kitchin.
As we' busy chatting about feasts I think its only fair to let you in on some of the other great foodie treats in the Crieff area. As well as the aforementioned Famous Grouse, you will find a host of talented, artisan producers. On the second Saturday of the month you' find them gathered in the local square selling at Crieff Country Market. This is a fabulous day out and if you are visiting is over this weekend do make sure you grab your bag and head for the town. Expect fresh local produce, crafts, baking, jams and preserves, local artisans and lots more.
And of course, you know that Crieff is home to everyone’s childhood favourite – sugar mice! Gordon and Durwards is one of the only shops we know that is guaranteed to raise a smile on even the dourest of faces! This traditional sweetie shop houses jars of sweets, handmade fudges and tablet. To be honest, the famous sugar mice are almost reason enough for a visit to Strathearn!
We will be adding to the Crieff events, restaurants and galleries as we discover them throughout the year - if you have any favourites you' like to see featured please do let us know. I' always happy to research a new coffee shop or fun event!
Best wishes, Bea
The cottage was beautifully decorated and furnished. It had everything we needed for our stay - a real home from home. The location was fantastic, quiet but only a five minute walk into town. The gate into the woods was great access for a walk round Loch Faskally. We will definitely be returning for another holiday. Thank you

Hi Bea, Just wanted to say we have had a fab stay at the cabin, the views from there are so beautiful and it couldn’t be placed in anymore gorgeous landscape. The owner was great and really helpful, and we couldn’t recommend the place enough. Thanks
Dear Bea, We are now back home and already missing our wonderful ”home from home “ By the Brae! Can you pass on our thanks to Faye for providing such a welcoming home for us to use. It was most comfortable and cosy and we had all we needed (in spite of Covid regulations). I had taken soap but forgot the shower gel and shampoo! We had a wonderful week, rediscovering old haunts and finding new places and doing lots of walking as the weather was kind....mostly!
