The Sma’ Glen, between Crieff and Aberfeldy, really is a little slice of heaven, where hills swoop down to the sheep-nibbled banks of the shallow river Braan, and kites and buzzards soar in the skies above.
A tiny road winds from it along Glen Quaich past Loch Freuchie to Easter Garrows Cottage, a trim and spacious detached cottage which has been carefully refurbished to provide bright, versatile and very comfortable family accommodation.
Total relaxation is the order of the day in this peaceful place, with opportunities to walk in the hills, cycle or fish in Loch Freuchie. Yet you are not far from ‘civilisation’ – Kenmore on Loch Tay (shop, hotels, golf course, marina) is just over the hill, with Aberfeldy (all facilities) just five miles further.
