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 highest praise possible starting and ending with warm welcome from the host and polite departure conversation after 3 nights in luxury with everything we needed, provided and much appreciated extra provision of, for example, special coffee to use in the cafetiere which the host knew we'd be using daily. There was endless hot water and speedy, reliable wifi as well as quality TV watched from comfortable armchair/sofa. I could go on but the pictures on the website are absolutely realistic for people to judge for themselves!

* New for 2022 - this much loved and extremely comfortable lodge offers the ideal base for a relaxing holiday in Highland Perthshire.
This was our second visit to Ruggles and we once again thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Ruggles is a well equipped accommodation with a period feel to the main room, high ceilings and circular stair al add to this with the fireplace and large stove setting of the room and offering a lovely central feature and indeed warmth in the winter months. We enjoyed our cosy setting with the views from the large windows across the burn to the trees and sky beyond.
