Super Ted relaxes in Briar Cottage loch garden
Little Briar is a charming pet friendly, two bedroom stone cottage that faces south offering breathtaking and romantic views over Loch Earn to Glenample and Stuc A Chroin from its elevated position. Little Briar is surrounded by a wooden deck within landscaped gardens featuring ornamental furniture and barbecue facilities. There are two fence panels that can be attached to secure dogs immediately outside the cottage door.
Pets adore the run around space in the sloping paddock to the rear of Little Briar. The grounds lead up to the old disbanded railway path and you can climb through the wire fence on to it. There is a stream that runs from the top of the garden. Dogs love to splash in the flat pool area that Fraser has landscaped. Sit at the picnic table in the top corner of the garden. The last place that the sun hits before it disappears. Don't forget to take your camera!
We usually don't see snow at ground level for long though the hills and Munro tops can be covered until Spring. When the snow comes the scene is majestic. It is fun to sledge down this hill and you can follow the deer hoof marks all the way from the top of the paddock down to the loch garden as per this You Tube video.

 Guest Jax about to swim and fetch in Loch Earn
A short driveway leads to the cottage from the main gates (near the double garage) with parking for 2 cars. Guests can fish from the garden (March 15th to October 6th) without a permit.
Visit our summer house, use the garden furniture and the petanque court (bocce ball) and play 4 flag lawn putting in our 250ft private garden area on the banks of Loch Earn where we have a jetty, slipway and mooring buoys. Some owners let their dogs swim and fetch balls in the loch. Some guests love to swim in summer. You are welcome, however , stay near the shore as the loch is cold and deep - unless you are a hardy open water swimmer or training for Iron Man like some of our guests.

Our property lies on the edge of Lochearnhead village at the center of the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park of Scotland . It is ideally situated for day trips north south east and west from the A84 and A85 crossroads in Lochearnhead. An interesting address in Strathearn. Many still use Perthshire in the address however today Loch Earn starts off in then catchment of rural Stirling and becomes Perthshire travelling East towards St Fillans. So the best of all addresses. We are even at the Gateway tom the Highlands if you follow then A85 North via Glencoe.
This is a popular location for walking, Munros, cycling, fishing, golfing and water sports enthusiasts with horse riding options too. The perfect spot for those interested in history,wildlife. plants, forests, fairies and folklore too. Or why not simply relax and do nothing! The views over Loch Earn are breathtaking and the region boasts excellent eateries from pub grub to fine dining, the nearest pet friendly hotels being The Clachan Cottage and Lochearnhead Hotel 150 meters and 200 meters from the gates.
