Crieff Hydro Hotel

Stayed here at the weekend and had a wonderful time with the family. Stayed in the lodges (cosey cottages) however unlike last time it was only 2 minutes from the hotel. We stayed before and it was a good 20 minutes walk last time to the hotel. I will be honest it was not the cleanest accommodation we have stayed in, the location made up for it. The weather was great so did lots of the outdoor activities which kept the kids busy.
we did comment that we had not used a lot of the indoor facilities due to the weather being so good.
Overall a good hotel for catering for families.

Do you sometimes feel that the city is getting too much and you need some place to relax? Then you are at the right place at Crieff Hydro Hotel (about an hour from Edinburgh)
I have been going there for years and I always found that the staff was very friendly. The rooms got renovated over the years and the interior definitely improved.
To get a better room it always helps to complain, if not happy with things.
For example we booked a room with a bath and we got a shower only.
After complaining we got a new room but the heating did not work properly. Well, we could not turn it off, so we slept in a Sauna for a night!
The next morning, after complaining again, we moved to a different room, and this time around we got one of the best rooms in the house. The Honeymoon suite with its own Jacuzzi!
How romantic, or not!
Crieff Hydro always has some special offers on: Dinner, Bed and Breakfast for very good pricing. The food is good enough for the price you pay, if not better.
I like and enjoy the indoor and outdoor activities: Golf, Quad bikes, 4×4, swimming pools, Sauna, Riding… and many more. A Fun place to be at any time of the year. It never gets boring.
And my favourite place is the Winter garden where I can enjoy my afternoon tea!
Hope you enjoy it too!

We came here for a Thursday/​Friday stay with the kids and it was pretty good all round. Breakfast was good but dinner… I’d agree with a couple of the other reviewers and say it’s not as good as it should be.
We had a couple of problems with our bill which were sorted quickly and without any fuss which was good. The self catering challets look like a good option and have great views.
There’s plenty to do outdoors from some easy hill walks to pony treking to bike and quad bike hire and of course indoors there’s a decent sized pool and a Spa too.

I have been to Crieff Hydro many times before but for days to the activity centre to hire segways & quad bikes. I have stayed in the cabins for a hen party week but this was my first stay actually in the hotel.
We got a great deal with itison for an overnight stay plus use of the Victorian spa and a bottle of wine. Great value.
The hotel has had a boutique hotel style make over and I think they have a great mix of taste and opulence. It feels special but warm and friendly at the same time.
Free wifi in the room — always good
A choice of still or sparkling bottles of water in the room complimentary.
Really decent bathrooms and the toiletries were from «The white company» which isn’t bad at all.
There was a choice of restaurant for dinner, we opted for the brasserie which is less formal and had two courses for £20 a head. Plenty of options and decent food.
The Victorian Spa was very relaxing and they provide cordials & tea or coffee and fruit along with magazines and day beds to chill out on.
You can drive there in under 90 minutes from Edinburgh and feel like you have really had a break away to re-​charge your batteries.
Keep up the good work guys!

I’ve paid a few visits to Crieff Hydro over the years but never had the chance to stay the night. They’ve got so many activities on offer that it would take longer than a weekend to take advantage of them all, but everything we saw was very well done. We had an all-​inclusive deal for dinner, bed and breakfast — keep an eye open for special deals around the time you’d like to visit.
Food was very well prepared and really tasty — from the Brasserie dinner to the massive breakfast, plenty there for vegetarians and omnivores. I had a lamb tagging with cous cous on the Friday night and was almost defeated by the quantity — really enjoyed it.
The bedroom was of a decent size and the bed pretty massive (two singles pushed together, but you wouldn’t know it). Check-​out is a very civilised 11am, so no rush to clear out.
…and you can carry on enjoying the facilities long after check-​out. We spent about four hours in the Victorian Spa, with its pool, steam room, sauna and so on. A very relaxing place to be and a great way to end our stay.

Fantastic grounds
