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
Vrackie View was an ideal size for us all to celebrate my husbands birthday celebrations. It was spacious with plenty of seating in the livingroom and diningroom area with a well equiped spacious kitchen.It was also in a lovely, very peaceful street with beautiful views.The garden at the back was also a large secluded area hardly overlooked at all.

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

Hi Bea & the team. As you know we stayed in Cowshed in August and we're coming back in October. I've been fortunate enough to visit and stay.in some wonderful places in the world. But I genuinely love going back to Lettoch, The Cowshed being our favourite.. It's just beautiful it has everything you need. It's perfect without being "Perfect" meaning sometimes you can go to some places and it's to perfect that you don't feel like you can relax, everything looks to precious. The Cowshed is like a big warm hug, you walk in and you don't want to walk out. Steve is such a genuine guy, making sure everything is okay but giving you your privacy... Perfect. I can't imagine not going back. Regards, Margaret ?
