“Fantastic place” What a place with everything you could wish for on your doorstep. Why would you go anywhere else? It’s a fab place for kids, families and couples alike, something for everyone. John U, Glasgow
Thanks for taking the time to read our brochure. It showcases the best of what’s on offer for families at Crieff Hydro. But we couldn’t possibly fit it all in – if there’s anything else you’d like to know, please call our team on 01764 655 555. They’re always happy to help. In fact, we’ve been giving a warm welcome since 1868 – when my ancestors first opened the doors. Back then, hundreds of Victorians flocked here to rejuvenate in the therapeutic spring waters. Today, we’re far more geared up towards luxury, relaxation and fun than the Victorians were. We now offer family favourites like two free, supervised daily childcare sessions at BIG Country – Scotland’s largest childcare centre.

It’s really no wonder many families come back year after year. Or that Scotland the Best gave us their top rating. If you have any questions at all, please do call us. I hope we can welcome you and your family soon.

Food and drink
BREAKFAST AND DINNER TWO FREE Breakfast takes on a sense of occasion in the Meikle Restaurant. Think high ceilings, an attentive team - and eggs any way you like them. CHILDCARE SESSIONS By night it becomes even more special; pop into the bar for pre-dinner drinks, then sit at your elegantly set table. But the real star is the food, with inspiring dishes created by our chef. The Meikle’s menu includes options your kids will like too. Or, if you’d prefer, kids can have a speedy early dinner from 4.00pm to 5.30pm (followed by an evening of fun) while parents enjoy a quiet meal alone. The Brasserie is a touch less formal; young families love it. Piccolo Brasserie is also a good choice if you like pizza and oven baked pasta dishes. Or it’s just a five minute walk to our sister hotel, The Murraypark.
DAILY
FREEDOM DINING It’s our version of dinner, bed and breakfast only simpler (and with more freedom) – you get £25 for dinner (including tea and coffee) to spend in our Brasserie, Piccolo, Meikle or sister hotel, the Murraypark from 4pm onwards. Not forgetting the kids, under 12’s get £10 to spend on dinner. And that’s it. Just the freedom to have dinner wherever you like during your stay!. GRAB A QUICK BITE The Hub is the perfect spot to grab breakfast on the go, a burger or hot dog. Or stroll into the Victorian Winter Garden for a morning coffee, light lunch or afternoon tea, where you can try the award winning Pekoe loose leaf tea. TAKE IT OUTDOORS Ice creams on the Hub patio or Brasserie terrace. Drinks and sandwiches while the kids get stuck into the play area at Murraypark. Or maybe a coffee and cake outside the Clubhouse, while you keep a watchful eye on the crazy golf playoffs.

FRESH AIR AND SCENERY ON TAP It’s a bit difficult to imagine the scale of our 900-acre countryside estate. Let’s just say there’s lots of exploring to do – hire some bikes, book a ride on Polly the Pony (or bigger ponies for older kids), take to the trees in Aloft! tree top adventure or tackle ludicrous inclines in one of our Land Rovers. And forget about the season. Most of our outdoor activities run throughout the year – from our horse riding to our quad biking tracks. RELAXING TREATS Our adults-only Victorian Spa is just the place to do very little indeed. Lie back in the sauna, steam room and spa bath, or take a dip in the perfectly-heated pool. Go on – we challenge you to leave feeling anything but completely relaxed. Hot stone massages, restoring facials, luxury manicures – who needs an excuse to book yourself (or a loved one) in for a pampering session? 01764 655 555
