Little Briar Cottage Gets a Makeover

Can not believe it!  At the end of March it will be 4 years since we took Little Briar Cottage on Loch Earn  into our lives.  The detached stone cottage is cute and cosy and charming however we decided to treat it to a little makeover.  So, the sunny yellow walls are now a little more sophisticated in toasted almond.   We moved the large mirror behind the sofa to make the lounge look more spacious and reflect more light.  I love the curtains.  Cream, brown and "beige meets gold" with a lustre effect, all in horizontal stripes. We even changed the old wooden curtain poles to more modern black metal poles to set them off.   We placed a large Arie Vardi limited edition print called Running Wild,  behind the electric massage chair.  The print is set off by a chunky  cream coloured frame which works well.  New textured neutral shade cushions  on the leather lounge furniture finish it off nicely.  Guests who have been before will appreciate the difference.  Oh  and for those that remember the big bulky telly it is now a flat screen TV in the corner with Sky Freeview.  We have also put a new chiminee outside to burn logs in the garden.   2-4 guests can sleep in the pet friendly cottage.  Little Briar holiday cottage offers a double and a twin room with one bathroom and electric shower.  2 guests can bring up to 2 dogs and 4 guests can bring 1 pet.  Tel: Kim or Fraser to book 01567 830 443 or check our website for Lochearnhead Cottages.
