Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Very disappointed for the price .. the tv in the room is smaller then my monitor and didn’t work.. the reception sent someone up to fix it but even he couldn’t so we couldn’t even have a chilled evening .. the queue at breakfast is far to long so we left without having breakfast and the room was cold at night
Room was clean, tidy, very quiet and peaceful.
The lovely view of the hills from the room was a great bonus as well.
Although I didn't have enough time to use most of the facilities here there is plenty to do to keep you occupied.
Breakfast was a nice affair, nice big room with views outside.
Food wise there was fruit, lots of Cereals etc.
Cooked breakfast food quality was excellent and you could help yourself to as much as you wanted.
There is also Croissants, Pastries, Pancakes, toast etc if your not into big breakfasts.
There's various restaurants and bars to suit different tastes as well.
I noticed lots of young families as well so it caters for most people.
I found staff to be helpful and friendly, in my opinion this is what can make or break an experience with a hotel.
Bear in mind if you're a bit fussy this is a huge old Victorian building it has its quirks and faded bits etc.
There is lifts for the various floors for disabled access and a disabled entrance at the reception.
To keep this place up to standard must be very tough indeed for the owners.
But overall I found it nice inside and enjoyed my time here.
I hope to go back here again with the next 6 months but for a bit longer this time.

On check in I was told I had not paid for the reservation when I insisted I had. They insisted they take full payment again until I had proof. On finding my statement I asked them to refund the over payment. I was told I should wait until I checked out 2 days later. I insisted they make the refund to be told it often takes 5 days to make the refund.
It also took 4 attempts to get them to fix my cold shower. I
I sent an email ahead of my stay requesting a seat for the shower as I am a wheelchair user. I had to request again on arrival, the chair was provided but it was impossible to close the shower door. A smaller seat would have worked. I have no complaints on any other amenities and staff were very nice. Just such a simple thing can make the weekend less of a problem re the wheelchair use.
Easy to drop family and luggage at front of hotel and parking not far away.
Both children (6 3) enjoyed Big Crunchie (Big Country, but hard to say when you're 3!) This 2hr childcare is fab and enabled us to go to the Victorian Spa and have a few moments to actually read a book! BEWARE: you need to book your holiday directly through the hotel to get this free. If you book through a 3rd party, eg Expedia then it's £15 per child per session.
Entertainment at night was good, our kids loved disco, bingo and magician whilst we were there.
We also played tennis, had fun in the play park and had a lead-rein walk.
Breakfast was good, very busy. You really do need to book everything in advance though.
Splash times are very busy (fab inflatable slide) but go outwith these times and it's much more pleasant!
Went to Crieff Hydro for the first time this weekend. We are a couple in our 50s and had a fantastic time. The hotel and amenities far exceeded our expectations. Drinks on the terrace, dinner in the Meikle restaurant and at the nearby sister hotel the Murraypark which were both excellent. After dinner drinks in the piano bar finishe both evenings off nicely before retiring to the comfort of our room which was clean, comfortable and well appointed.
We enjoyed the Victorian baths, putting, walks and watching all the children and families enjoying the activities. Breakfast was amazing!
We plan a return soon with our adult children and partners. Definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing break with a host of activities available to keep you entertained or places to just chill. Also a walk into the town of Crieff is a must, lovely little shops to browse and buy some amazing local produce
