In the fir tree lined valley of Strathallan between Tyndrum and Crianlarich lies the early 19th century Ewich house. I came across this B&B on trip advisor earlier in the year but it was difficult to get booked up as it was so popular. One of the reasons for this is the high rating that it gets on trip advisor coming into the top 10 of Europe's B&B's and Inns 2010. Ewich House is ideal for Scottish car tours and West Highland Way walkers as it is situated in a key location just off the Glasgow to Fort William road but quiet enough due to the surrounding trees. Most of the visitors I shared the accommodation with, stayed for only one or two nights so I felt privileged to enjoy a lot of the facilities as it seemed unusual to stay for five nights. This post is more of a complimentary photographic post to my written trip advisor review.
The building was a very welcoming place and the owners did their best to make everyone satisfied with their visit. I was fortunate enough to be given a room to the side of the building and I could open the curtains in the morning to a view of fir trees and mountains.......
Every morning as I descended the staircase, I caught sight of the birds enjoying themselves out of the window as they made use of the breakfast facilities !!
then it was my turn to enjoy myself as the next view I had was of the breakfast room......
...and the freshly cooked breakfast which was substantial including Scottish Haggis, black pudding, Potato scones and eggs from the back garden hens.....
By day three, I had to refine my choice to a few less ingredients as it was taking too long to eat !!
One of the most unusual things that you will ever see at any Bed and Breakfast is the sight of four Alpacas.......However, I'm not sure how appreciative there were of the countryside views.........
This view was taken looking towards Crianlarich with the mountain "Cruach Ardrain" in the background. Incidentally, one of my challenges later in the week.
After a long day out and evening meal, it was time to watch the sun set over the trees....
... with the resulting light shining on Crianlarich's Ben More and Stob Binnien.
It was time to retreat to the warmth of the guest lounge to enjoy the relaxation and comfort....
....and leave those outside in the grounds to do a similar thing !! .....
