What a lovely review. I don't always get notified when reviews appear and this one seems to have passed me by. Better late than never. It was lovely to meet you and to hear stories from a different continent. Thank you so much for sharing your experience of Briar Steading and trying out the lawn sports and fishing. There are a few more trout biting this year according to some guests and watching the osprey pluck them from Loch Earn. Have a great summer and thank you once again for your kind words and taking the time to review our cottage and waterside grounds in Central Scotland..

Thank you for sharing your family experience of a mid term break at Briar Cottages on Loch Earn on our TripAdvisor review site. We are delighted that you enjoyed your family time together in the comfort of the cottage, the stunning winter views and the scenic local walks. We are lucky to be so near to quality restaurants like MHOR84 which is open for fresh and tasty food choices all day long, serving up to 9pm - thank you for recommending it. Lochearnhead is very central and only 75 minutes from Edinburgh and Glasgow by car yet the terrain changes to lochs and towering mountains offering a change of scene for anyone who enjoys outdoor activities, wildlife, food and drink as well as total relaxation away from the daily routine. We look forward to your return visit. Thanks again, Kim and Fraser Proven

Owner's reply:

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay in pet friendly Little Briar Cottage over New Year and for recommending short breaks to other potential guests. We offer short breaks from a minimum of 3 nights starting any day of the week.. We are delighted that you enjoyed the grounds,views and location and thank you for your thoughts on things that would make the cottage more comfortable. Continuous improvement for guest comfort is very important to us so we are grateful for all impressions and ideas that we can consider. Since your visit, we have replaced the electric heaters with modern digital thermal; energy efficient heaters . The bathroom suite is being ripped out tomorrow and a new steel bath, Roca bowl and sink with modern taps will be fitted on Monday. There will be a new heated towel rail and an LED ceiling light too. We have also added a new mini freezer box to upgrade from the ice box in the fridge. Once these jobs are complete we will re-write the list of top priorities. Briar Steading is significantly larger with 2 en-suite bathrooms for those that enjoy more space however we can not allow pets to stay there as per our commitment to allergy suffers since it was made available in 2011 Both cottages are already booked for New Year 2020. Thanks again for your feedback and have a great year..Kindest regards Kim and Fraser
