We can cater for the following diets (just let us know on booking): Dairy free, gluten free, sugar conscious, vegan and vegetarian.
Because we are a small retreat centre, the same dishes are cooked for everyone, so we are not able to cook individual meals and to specifics beyond the above.

Where possible produce is locally sourced, some is home grown (depending on the season) and where possible organic.

BOOKINGS and ENQUIRIES
Location
The retreat is held at Creagan House, a very historic building, with the oldest part dating back to 1638. Creagan House is located in Strathyre, north of Callander, in central Scotland, in the Highlands and within the Trossachs National Park, and surrounded by forests, lochs and mountains.
Behind our retreat centre, there are walks and hikes straight into the hills, and forests with stunning views. There is a waterfall only a three-minute walk up behind the house. This waterfall flows down into a burn that runs right past Creagan House, and which we have seating by, so participants can enjoy the beauty of the large stream flowing by.
The famous Rob Roy way goes right past our centre at the back, just a short uphill walk away. The village of Strathyre is only a couple of minutes walk away, containing a post office and shop. If you have a car, there are lots of places to visit nearby, such as dramatic waterfalls, lochs and the popular Scottish small town of Callander.
We get a wide variety of birds visiting our garden, as well as frequent red squirrels, and often deer may be spotted on the hill and mountain walks. The area locally is known for its milky quartz and while here you could hike the peak opposite: 'Ben Shian' (which translates as 'the fairy hill').
