About John Blackwell
John Blackwell
Why John Blackwell chose Crieff
I was born at Trowan Farm and enjoyed a very happy childhood: canoeing, swimming and fishing in the river, exploring the woods, cycling and walking on the farm, playing golf on the many local courses and sailing and water skiing at Loch Earn nearby. It is a beautiful peaceful place where the only sounds are natural and yet the pretty market towns of Crieff and Comrie are only 4 miles away. Local attractions include The Famous Grouse Whisky Distillery, Auchingarrich Wildlife Park, Loch Earn and The Trossachs National Park. There are 3 Munroes within a few miles for the serious walker and many glorious gentler walks: Lady Mary's Walk is one of the prettiest in Scotland: a few minutes walk from the house.
What makes this farmhouse unique
The Farmhouse has plenty of space for car parking and secure storage for bicycles. It is ideal for cycling, walking, fishing and golfing holidays while the Scottish Ski resorts are close by (Aviemore 2 hrs, Glen Shee, Glen Coe 1.5 hrs) My website gives details of cycle hire locally, fishing tariffs and local walks as well as the best local restaurants and cafes.

New Year break
We all had a lovely time here the house was very comfortable ,warm,and inviting they even put up a Christmas tree. We had a great few days ,very peaceful .
Trowen=Magical
Fabulous historic farmhouse. Pheasant and deer just outside in front pasture. Home is warm, welcoming, more than cozy. It has been updated with everything. House is very adequately heated in the winter. The kitchen is complete and well stocked. The owners even had a Christmas Tree decorated for us. Games for the family and a comfy sitting room for loafing. Crieff is a cute town and Crieff Market is fabulous local food. River close by for summer swimming. Lots of hikes from front door. Stay here!!!!!
Perfect family getaway
We had a lovely family break (8 Adults) and your farm house was just perfect for our needs right down to the milk in the fridge when we arrived (we left ours behind). Warm and cosy when we arrived quite late. Clean and well equipped. Beautiful, quiet and peaceful countryside with lovely easy walking, weather was fresh and dry too.
Beautiful farmhouse in amazing location
We absolutely loved our stay at Trowan farmhouse, it's such a fab location - beautifully secluded but not far from Crieff and close to the mountain bike trails at Comrie. We had a wonderful few days and would love to come back for a full week sometime! House itself was very clean and full of character with a fully equipped and spacious modern kitchen. Love!!
Thank you
A wonderful place. Thank you for sharing it.

There are many lovely walks locally.
The Farm road and Lady Mary’s Walk: Walk East through the farm for half a mile or so then turn right at the ruined cottage to join the river at Lady Mary’s Walk. Continue east along the River Earn to Crieff. This is one of the prettiest river walks in central Scotland. An alternative route back west passes The Laggan Farm: duration about one hour.
