Crieff Hydro Hotel

1 reader found this review helpful

When booking ran into a few problems; deal advertised on internet was not in fact deal on offer, we queried this with booking manager who was rude and aggressive. Hotel facilities are great but rooms were dirty (previous occupants possessions found around bed!).
No information provided prior to booking and no explanation of meals for children on arrival, which meant that we paid full child meal prices (£9.50 per meal) for our 1 year old daughter. No satisfaction from hotel manager when we raised our complaints.
The hotel is really family orientated, which is great. Lots of activities for kids but pretty expensive for a short autumn break and staff are not interested in individuals.

Located in center of Crieff nice quiet town great walks and plenty of golf courses.
Hotel fairly clean. Has two bars and a nice restaurant called m brasserie. Lounge bar could do with a lot of re-decorating and could do with some entertainment during the week.
Staff are plentiful and very friendly always speaking to you when you come in. rooms fairly small although fairly clean.
There is no lifts so you must be able to climb stairs there is a little traffic noise in the town but not much traffic at night.
Very nice quiet hotel.

Crieff Hydro Hotel is located in some of the most beautiful countryside in Scotland. It is geared particularly towards family/leisure type breaks. It has a number of different children’s clubs and a wide range of leisure facilities such as health suite and swimming pool. This means you don’t have to leave the hotel - everything is provided for you.
The food is also first class particularly the evening meals in the Meikle restaurant.
There are number of different room types, some with interconnecting rooms. The room that we had was of a high standard with all the usual facilities - tea/coffee, TV etc.
Overall we would highly recommend Crieff Hydro, although the cost is perhaps higher than other hotels, the facilities kept the kids happy!
