Sprawling across a 900 acre estate the 4 star Crieff Hydro is set within the picturesque Strathearn Valley, an hours drive from Edinburgh and Glasgow. Crieff is pretty much in its own league as a ‘Hotel Resort’ - its a monster of fun and activity with extremely high standards. The Hotel extends an amazingly warm and genuinely friendly Scottish welcome - you'll even find time to shoot off to the spa or relax over a glass of wine while the kids are in the Play Den.

Crieff Hydro is very much a family business. In fact I am the great-great-great-grandnephew of the founder Dr Meikle. Not only do our family live on the estate, my wife, Fiona, and son, Richard, are working in the business too.
