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
We loved the location, the walks and views from the cottage were varied and numerous, and proximity to the golf club a real bonus. Future guests should know how good this facility is, great food, friendly staff, reasonably priced drinks and a fantastic view, all within five minutes walk. We cannot praise this highly enough.
Excellent location- well equipped house. Would definitely come again.

When I had an idea of what I hoped a home in the Scottish highlands would be...this was exactly it! The pictures are accurate but certainly don’t do the space justice. It is impossible to capture how beautiful the property is. We had morning coffee outside as the sheep grazed a few feet away. We felt far away but were only a few miles from Dunkeld and lots of things to do. We spent our nights taking and laughing with a fire going and slept like babies. I wish that I could spend a year in this home! Thank you for having us.
