About
There really is something for everyone at Crieff Visitor Centre. A warm welcome, great food, space for the children to play, fantastic gifts, unique fashions and accessories, specialist homeware, viewing area for the Caithness Glass Factory, a Garden Centre packed with great ideas and plants, the Drovers exhibition and the Art Gallery and Antiques area. Located in the beautiful town of Crieff, surrounded by hills and countryside it’s perfect for exploring the area or perhaps enjoying a spot of retail therapy and great coffee with friends.•In the Garden & Plant Centre we have something for every garden and gardener, from shrubs and plants to tools, bird houses and ornaments and much more.•In our Gift shop and showrooms we sell beautiful gifts and souvenirs, fashions, outdoor clothing and accessories including jewellery, shoes and handbags. There’s also music and books as well as speciality whiskies and other Scottish Gifts. •This is home to the famous Caithness Glass where you can buy a range of quality glassware and paperweights and also view the craftsmen and women at work in the factory next door. You can even make your own paperweight!•Next door there is an excellent little Tartan Shop and Art Gallery and Antiques area for those interested in the finer things in life.•A visit to the centre would not be complete without stopping off at our Drover’s Restaurant where we serve fresh local produce cooked on the premises by our skilled chefs. Here you can enjoy the very best in Scottish cuisine from a simple cup of tea with one of our delicious homemade cakes to a full mouth-watering meal.•And finally there is the Drover’s Exhibition which follows the Lives and Times of the Highland Drovers - very relevant locally as the Crieff October Tryst (market) was the centre of the droving trade in the 18th and early 19th centuries.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Only stopped by for a cuppa. One staff member was handling cutlery with bare hands, no gloves. Also toilets were rather smelly & could do with a thorough cleaning. Glad we weren't eating there.

Restaurant seemed quiet. No chat from woman behind counter. Ordered and sat down to wait. We waited so long that I had to ask where my toastie was. Customers who came after us were served first!!
Girl went in to kitchen and a young guy cane out right away with it. He apologised but the staff behind counter said nothing. Our coffe was now cold before we got our food !!
We also noticed that staff behind counter wore normal clothes and tidied their hair, then served food !! Didn’t seem hygienic but I don’t know the rules for handling food. Not a good experience
The toastie was tasty!

We saw the sign after a visit to Drummond Castle and Gardens. It has very poor car park full of pot holes/craters which give it an industrial feel. It wasn't clear what it was and where things were. A smallish garden centre, a restaurant, small antiques section and glass. Not a place to return to.

Popped in here for breakfast and shopping.
The food wasn't the best, I wouldn't recommend eating here.
The shopping was great, lots of interesting bits to buy.
The best part was the Caithness Glass shop where you could learn about how it is made and buy some absolutely lovely pieces.

Recently visited during a short stay break in Crieff. The visiter centre is very good .we dined with friends for lunch and had the broccoli soup which was very good and reasonably priced. The centre also sells glasswear and we purchased nice whiskey glasses which were very well priced. Definitely worth a visit when in the area

We have visited often through the years but not for the past 8 yrs. Very tired and poorly stocked. Restaurant slow when half empty and noisy music. In desperate need of TLC.

Very poor customer service. Arrived at 11.40 saw that 2 menues by the restaurant entrance were advertising pancakes or waffles with bacon and maple syrup. Great just what the doctor orderd after a ling drive. Only to be told at the counter oh were not serving them now we stop at 11.30. Then take the bloody advertising down its misleading false advertising. So won't be back, as for the so called antique center that's not up ro much either . My advice rubbish all round

2nd visit to Crieff and thought we would try the glass painting. Really enjoyed our visit, great seeing the glass being made and we made some fabulous souvenirs to take home. Glass painting was trickier than we had imagined it to be but we enjoyed it both as children and adults! Didn't have time to try the cafe, but we may return to have another look at the fabulous shop and great antiques area plus sample a coffee! Thank you for a lovely memory making experience.
