Great stay
We had a great stay to celebrate my partners 40th and there was so much on offer to keep our little one occupied. The swimming pool was great with plenty of swimming sessions available throughout the day and the sauna and steam room were also a welcome surprise as we could not book the Victorian Baths as we had our daughter with us. We had considered using the big country childcare but the times never synced in with the times for the Victorian baths or any of the adult activities which is a bit disappointing and would be so much better if you could attend a session during the two hour childcare slot. Adventure Glen, Glens Den, the pony riding and family fun in the Melville were all brilliant my only criticism is how much you need to pay for after a costly booking. Thankfully on our visit the adventure playground was free access but bear in mind if you attend at peak times there is a charge for adults and children. My overall disappointment was the night time entertainment for the kids being cancelled by management due to the hotel not being overly busy. There was still kids on site and it would have been nice to have something to do with them after dinner, even a mini disco but there was nothing although before we came there was a full schedule planned including magic show and it was cancelled once we arrived. I did find the hotel very cold but the food was good. We will definitely return but at a busier time to take advantage of the whole experience.

Recharging after Xmas!!
Xmas decorations still up and hotel looked amazing!! We always have a plate of soup in the winter garden when we arrive, the choice of sandwiches cakes home baked is amazing. Check in was done on line. My husband did a lot of walking as the scenery is stunning. He used the Victorian spa but there is a charge of £25 for a session. Dinner in the Terrace bar most nights , we ate at the Murraypark one night as the hotel was full. Most relaxing few days for a long time.

Two night break
First time staying at Crieff Hydro Hotel. Overall hotel is in great shape. Reception staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. Dinner in Meikle restaurant was ok, starter was over chilled. Had to send main meal back as it wasn’t very hot. Second attempt better but wonder if kitchens were a long way from restaurant. Good meal in Terrace on our second night although Staff there could do with some extra training. Beautiful setting and lots to do. Will definitely be back.

Definitely a family forward hotel. Rooms looked to be renovated in the 80’s with electronics from the 90’s. Furniture was worn out and dirty. If you’re accustomed to Nespresso and Netflix in the rooms, this is not the hotel for you. The hallways are busy and noisy with families on route to the pool and other kid attractions. Rooms are motel grade 3 star at best.

Faded glamour
Was a so-so stay. Most of the staff were friendly but the place is just far far too big. Breakfast buffet is a mad blur of people and there are few adult only areas, 1 small bar basically. Room was OK but kind of tired, rooms very warm too and no A/C

Thank you so much for posting a review Christopher. We are really sorry that you found some aspects of your stay to be disappointing. As a family resort we are particularly busy at certain times such as the school holidays but there are other times when the hotel is quieter. Due to the age of the building we do not have air conditioning in our guest bedrooms and although refurbishment is completed on a rolling basis throughout the hotel such a large project does take some time to complete. We do hope that we will have the opportunity of welcoming you back in the future.

Room was fine and staff all friendly and helpful. Let downs were quality of food and frozen calamari and tinned olives don’t match the prices. Pasta was not fresh and the tomato sauce had no flavour. Not worth the prices charged. Secondly, when paying £200 for a room I don’t expect to pay an additional £50 to use the adults only swimming pool (Victorian baths).

Thank you very much for posting a review Richard. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with some aspects of our stay and have shared your feedback on the food with our Executive Chef. There is a charge for the Victorian Baths due to the more exclusive nature of the facilities but our main leisure pool is available for our guests and does include a whirlpool, sauna and steam room. We do hope that you will feel able to visit us at some point in the future in spite of your disappointment on this occasion.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review Patrick. We have noted our feedback on the families staying in the hotel and, whilst it is difficult for us to enforce and hard and fast rules, we do trust that our guests will exercise some consideration for other guests during their stay. As a family resort, we are particularly busy with families at certain times but there are other times when the hotel is quieter. We do hope that you otherwise enjoyed your stay with us and that we will have the chance of welcoming you back in the future, perhaps at a quieter time.
