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.
