We have stayed here 3 times and are looking forward to our next visit in Feb'08.We stayed late Nov'07 for a long weekend in a studio room ,we like this location as you get a parking space allocated near your studio,it is a quiet area but still only a minute away from the main hotel.The interior of the studio is modern and clean the bathrooms are very nice with White company tolitries,another reviewer said these were not replenished daily, ours were, if not ask, housekeeping are lovely.The kids club is what brings us back each trip as our 2 children love the atmosphere of Big Country.The nannies in the club are friendly and the children always have a good time.
The restaurants are ok,it is just so nice to have adult time while you know the little darlings are safe and happy.I prefer the Bistro to the Meikle which tries to be something it isn't.
The beauty salon is well run and stocks Clarins products,I had a facial which was very nice.
Horseriding is good fun we always book in advance
I like the victorian spa and I know you have to pay extra but I think it is still worth using.
To sum up I think the Crieff Hydro is super for families with children of all ages as there is so much to do,we love it!

Another brilliant stay at Crieff Hydro. My husband and I stayed on a Sunday night when they had their out of season special offer of around 85 pounds per night for 2 adults, for dinner, bed and breakfast. What a bargain ! The dinner in the Meikle restaurant was superb, as was the breakfast. The gym is great and the Victoria Spa (Only around 7 pounds extra per day per person) is a delight.

Highly recommend this for couples of all ages who just want to chill out and relax, whatever the weather. Also great fun for mother-daughter weekend away !

Stayed, yet again, at Hydro from 27th December for 3 nights. In room 89 which is the executive studios which are still BB & dinner but you are allowed to keep the dog in them! Great rooms and the dog was welcomed with bed, towels and blankets!!

If anyone is thinking of taking your dog the walking is great - if not a little steep and harsh on the legs (yours not the dog!!). There were deer on "The Knock" so keep a keen eye whilst walking - 3 dogs were lost in one day due to chasing them.

Hotel, was as usual, fantastic apart from "The Brasserie" which, I thought, was not up to its usual standard. We altered our dinner bookings to eat every night at The Murraypark.

Daughter, who is 12 yrs old, still loves the kids club - seemed to do loads more with them this year ie took them quad biking & the low ropes.

Husband and daughter did the off-roading and quad biking and really enjoyed it (hubby does off-roading every year - what else does he need to know!!!).

If anyone wants to know anything feel free to email me.

Got married at The Hydro in November 2007 and have to commend the staff for an excellent job. They were always helpful, cheery and did everything they could to make sure our stay was great. Our guests also had a fantastic time and seemed to enjoy their respective stays as well.

The hotel itself is set in a lovely part of Scotland, offers all sorts of activity options and the rooms that we stayed in were all excellent. Breakfast was also very good and the food served in both their restaurants and for our wedding meal was excellent. Feel a bit mean to mention a couple of minor gripes such as slow service at the Meikle restaurant (three and a half hours for an evening meal) and the fact that the honeymoon suite's shower does leave a bit to be desired but, hey, everyone's a critic.........

All in all though we found it to be a great wedding venue and I've no doubt that we'll make further (less stressful!) trips to Crieff to stay at the Hydro again.

“old fashioned hydro, a step back in time”

Crieff Hydro Hotel and Resort

3/3 found this review helpful

I have stayed at the Crieff hydro on many occasions as it is used for a conference venue by my professional organisation. I love it. It is a typical old hydro (a spa for the rich victorians to retire to for thier health). It has lost none of its charm and is now a modern and well run hotel. The Golf facilities are ok, but next door is the Crieff golf course which is even better.

snooker room , dance floor with live music I have rumba'd and foxtrotted my way across the floor more than once!

always welcoming and a great hotel. Rooms large, but can be a little dark (ask for extra lights - staff accommodate).

I just wish I had time to enjoy the hotel, I am always in a rush for business reasons. I am going back again early december this year.
