Met up with 2 of my family to enjoy lunch in the restaurant. I felt that the choice & quality was excellent as was the quantity. There was a choice from sandwiches, soup, baked potatoes, main meals including gammon steak, steak pie, fish & chips and several others. Would love to have sampled the excellent array of cakes and traybakes...

Stopped here to look at the selection of paperweights etc on offer at the Caithness Glass shop and ended up watching them being made at the back of the shop. We were made to feel very welcome by the glass blowers when we entered the small viewing gallery and chose to watch one of the more experienced guys (36 years...

I made a necessary stop on my way from Dunkeld to Glasgow airport and was surprised at how much more was going on besides the usual brochures, toilets, and tea. The garden center and glass factor looked like they might be worth some time -- which I didn't really have -- but what caught my eye was the antique shop....

If you're travelling in the area it's nice and convenient, parking free and usually lots of space, but I think calling it a visitor centre is what disappoints people, as they expect more. The glass blowing, shop and garden centre are nice, but don't expect them to be big or take a lot of time to see. The Drover's exhibition...

Visited this place when we stayed in Crieff recently. A great little place and the historic Drovers exhibition was very informative. The Caithness Paperweight factory kindly let us see the process of manufacture, very skilled. The gift centre and artwork was what you would expect and the food was very good also and about average for prices. Nice toilets.

Thank you for your review “Johnythehighlander”.
Both of our free entry attractions, the Drovers Exhibition and Caithness Glass Factory, have a wealth of information on display and it is great that you learned something new from your visit.

We stopped by at Crieff visitor centre today, for a bite to eat on our drive.
The menu wasn't very exciting, but the thing that stuck out most was the prices!
8pounds for a baguette!
We opted for a bowl of soup, it was hot enough, this being the only positive I'm afraid.... It tasted like it was from a...

Very interesting visit to the Caithness Paperweight factory where we were able to watch a beautiful paperweight being made with information on the process being provided by Susan P.? Much appreciated the fact that she took time to do this! The showroom is amazing with the most wonderful collection of paperweights. Having watched the process made the displays more relevant...

Thank you for your review Irene.
It’s wonderful that you had such a good time. Sarah P is actually the lead designer at Caithness so she is one of the best authorities to discuss the craft. We agree with you that you can’t truly appreciate a paperweight until you see its’ creation
We added gluten free products a few months...

A nice place to visit, friendly staff and delicious soup. Worth popping in to on your way into Crieff as there is a good selection of Scottish gifts and souvenirs
