Yann’s at Glenearn House

Yannick Grospellier’s Chamonix origins are evident everywhere at Glenearn; the stylish restaurant-with-rooms in Crieff that he runs with his wife Shari. The essence of the place is unashamedly French with vintage skis decorating the walls after a lifetime of use in the Alps, along with posters depicting Tattinger and the Arc de Triomphe. Ornate cornicing and soaring windows authenticate the house’s Victorian heritage, the piles of interesting books and comfortable leather sofas give a homely feel. The five simple bedrooms are well appointed but it’s the food, served in the Parisian-style bistro, which draws the crowds.
