Enjoy the space, views and comfort of luxury Briar Steading -a detached holiday cottage for 4 plus baby. Built in 2010, the cottage was finished in local stone at the front to blend in with B listed thatched Briar Cottage and Little Briar Cottage on the three acre grounds. The beautifully presented interior has modern furnishings with a wood burning stove to add romantic charm. The open plan lounge. kitchen and dining area enables guests to be together whether preparing food or relaxing in front of the Smart TV or a DVD. The south facing views from the lounge are outstanding thanks to the four panel patio windows and doors framing the picture perfect view of Loch Earn, Glen Ample, Stuc A Chroin, Edinample Castle and two garden sculptures that light up at night. NB:There is a short steep drive to the cottage with parking for 2 and a level ramp access to the kitchen door.

The bedrooms are situated at the east and west gable of the cottage to enable privacy in the evenings. There is a choice of a twin bedroom with an en-suite spacious walk in wet room power shower or a King-size bedroom with an en-suite bath and shower room. Both bathrooms are finished with travertine gloss floor and wall tiles. Each bedroom has a glass patio door leading to the front patio garden and barbecue area. Grab a coffee and head out through your bedroom door without wakening those in the other bedroom. There are no street lights in front. Some guests like to open the curtains after lights to see the moon and stars and to wake up to the loch view in the morning.
