The cottage gets really cosy being well insulated and there are electric heaters, an electric massage chair and Sky TV with DVD and video to keep you company. You may prefer to read or play games.

We have WiFi, so bring your laptop if you need to keep it close. If you like walking or cycling you can go miles along the pathway that was once the Caledonian railway line in the direction of Killin or Balquhidder. It is part of National cycle route 7.

Jewel found in Lochearnhead!

Currently available from 15th November to 15th December at £292 for 7 nights or £204.40 for 3 consecutive nights. .
One of our holiday customers wrote in the guest book "Little Briar, Little Jewel". This is a great attempt to sum up their experience of our little stone cottage elevated over Loch Earn in the village of Lochearnhead, west Perthshire. The surrounding landscape and setting of the holiday cottage on the ornamental grounds of our 300 year old thatched cottage is truly magnificent. We have tried to describe the setting on www.stayatbriar.co.uk but even descriptions by great writers that travelled in this region like Sir Walter Scott, William Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy, failed to capture the overwhelming emotion and joy of being here. Some of our customers have been kind enough to share their experience of Little Briar cottage on www.tripadvisor.com which helps to tell the story. Its not just that seeing is believing. Its more that seeing, smelling, hearing and touching is experiencing. There is rumour of gold, silver and garnets on these lands but we would not swap our little jewel for anything. We are prepared to share it though for weekly holidays for 2-4 people.
