Disappointing Stay Despite Beautiful Surroundings We recently stayed at the Crieff Hydro and were impressed by the beautiful surroundings and the hotel itself – it really is a stunning location. The staff were lovely and attentive throughout our visit. Unfortunately, our experience was marred by a serious issue with the room we booked. We had specifically chosen a room that, as advertised, included a dividing space – ideal for parents with a young child. We even raised concerns about the room prior to booking, but were only told they were tell Expedia to remove the picture of the room we booked (family triple) Sadly, no offer to remedy the issues from the hotel. To make matters worse, the room was uncomfortably hot, with no air conditioning and only a cheap fan provided, which did little to help. While the hotel has great potential and the staff were wonderful, our stay was ultimately ruined by misleading advertising and an unsuitable room setup. A real shame, as we had high hopes.

We booked a one night stay for our family of 6. There were no family rooms so we had 2 room, these were large, clean and comfortable. We ate in the Brasserie, this was disappointing, staff were friendly but the service lacked any extra touches, we had to ask several times for things. Food was ok, the steak was the best thing. The scampi was very dry- avoid! Staff didn’t ask how our meal was to feed it back at the time. Breakfast the next day was carnage, we had a short wait to be seated to then find our table wasn’t set, was told someone would be over but they never appeared. We had to ask several times for tea/coffee. There were lots of half cleared tables around, there seemed to be plenty staff but again lacking leadership. Buffet felt too busy, there needs to be a better flow for the space. People had to ask several times for bowls. Food was ok. Grounds of the hotel and welcome are nice, pool was warm, we went to the splash session which had a slide which the kids enjoyed. Lots of other activities going on like table tennis, badminton, games which were free. Overall the concept of the hotel is good, but overpriced for below average service, wouldn’t return

Slightly disappointed

We have stayed at Crieff Hydro several times over the years. We came back on this occasion to see the new renovations. Very disappointed with our room. Despite being told at check in the hotel was quiet we were allocated a ground floor room, overlooked by a car park and exit to the hotel. Not very private. That evening there was function directly below our room and the disco was unfortunately quire loud. On top if this our room had an interconnecting door, although locked we had to listen to the noise of next doors TV all night. Given the noise disturbance not a relaxing stay. We considered asking to move but after being all unpacked we didn't want the inconvenience at that time of night. The new renovated bar area is beautiful. But sadly let down by really slow service. On both occasions we visited we had to wait a long time to order a drink, and a long time to arrive. Other tables experienced this also. Our table was dirty and didn't get cleaned. Personally we miss the informal nature of what used to be the Winter Garden cafe. You now have to wait to be seated, then wait to order. The quality of breakfast was excellent, attentive, friendly staff. Just slightly crowded at times around the food area. We weren't asked whether we enjoyed our stay on check-out. We didn't feed back on our stay as there was a queue behind us.
