The Rowan Bistro

Walked here from our campsite, was a bit disappointed on arriving that the kitchen was closed but it was one of those things that can't be helped. The coffee and carrot cake we did have was delicious and the staff helpful and friendly. What also makes it is the views of the Loch and surrounding hills just stunning.

Spent a couple of nights at the Clachan Cottage Hotel in Lochearnhead. Stunning location next to Loch Earn and surrounded by mountains and forests. We had a decent sized "loch-view" double room which was clean and tidy, with tea/coffee making facilities and an en-suite shower room. Bed was very comfy with ample pillows. Buffet style continental breakfast which was absolutely fine with good choice of cereals, porridge pots, bagels, pastries and fruit. We ate at the hotel bar - food was fine, although I got the impression it wasn't freshly made (rather just heated up) and there wasn't a huge amount of choice, especially when it came to the specials board. It's a nice hotel enough hotel though and would recommend.
