Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Crieff Hydro is often praised for its beautiful location and the variety of activities available, making it a popular choice, especially for families. Guests particularly enjoy the grazing horses near the Knock Lodges and the lovely brasserie, where the birthday cake is a grand finale. While the hotel has undergone refurbishment and the rooms are generally comfortable and modern, some guests have noted that the rooms can sometimes be a bit 'cosy'. Lovely walks can be enjoyed within the hotel's grounds, and the Adventure Park is a hit with kids.
