Crieff accommodation in Perthshire

The owners offer a real family welcome to their home, with their informal and friendly approach to life. Their commitment to the environment and ethics has been incorporated into their B&B successfully, and has been acknowledged by recently achieving a strong Silver Award from the Green Tourism Business Scheme on the first attempt.

The Crieff accommodation provided is of a high standard, with many quirky features which reflect their lifestyle, their extensive travels and creativity. David, who has until recently been a part-time chef at Gleneagles Hotel, offers a great breakfast, and evening meals by arrangement.

The Crieff accommodation is located in the centre of Crieff, so guests can easily access the variety of local shops and restaurants without the use of a car. There is a lovely variety of local shops, from whisky (including the local Glenturret whisky) & shortbread, to crafts and clothing (fair trade even!). There is a monthly Country Market, on the second Saturday of the month throughout the summer, promoting local and Scottish produce and gifts. The ‘great outdoors’ is just on our doorstep as the town is only small. Cycling, hill walking, fishing and horse riding are all available in the area. There is an outdoors festival, the Crieff & Strathearn Drovers’ Tryst on the second week of October. Residential classes: By linking up with friends who do the tutoring, we are able to offer a variety of residential classes. These vary from mosaic – both indoors and outdoors – to Textile Illuminations (including batik on reclaimed bedroom linens, fabric printing, machine stitching & embroidery); photography; mushroom and wild plant foraging and guided hill-walking. Participants can either come on their own and meet new people, or come with a partner (who may choose not to participate) or with friends. If a group of 6 or more friends wish to come to learn a new skill, this may be possible to arrange given sufficient notice. 

10-17 Oct Crieff & Strathearn Drovers’ Tryst: We are one of the coordinators of the Crieff & Strathearn Drovers’ Tryst, and outdoors festival which gets bigger and better year on year, broadening the range of activities available throughout the week. There is a more diverse selection of walks, the ‘Hairy Coo Mountain Bike Challenge’ and fun race, additional activities to get you enjoying Perthshire’s autumnal landscape and a raft of afternoon and evening entertainment. Please contact us for more details.

We have four rooms which we offer as B&B accommodation. All rooms are en suite or have a private bathroom adjacent. All our rooms blend Victorian architecture with a contemporary style.

They have an eclectic mix of antique and new furniture and original art work on the walls. All the rooms have tea & coffee facilities and a television. Our largest room has views of the Grampian mountains beyond.

We have a guests lounge, available throughout the day. There are a variety of books and board games for use by the guests. It has a log fire which can be lit on request for a cosy evening in.

Guests are welcome to use the garden, though it is also used by us and our two children – so it may not be the quietest place to be! However, we are keen gardeners and have some interesting plants and two rabbits!

Where possible, we aim to make your stay with us the best that it can possibly be. We can lend you books, suggest a days itinerary, or give you an insight to living in Scotland.

We received a Special Commendation from the Glenturret Distillery Award for exceeding customer expectations. We operate a no-smoking policy, but benches with an ashtray are provided outside for those who chose to smoke.

Cycling & walking friendly: Maps and walking books are available to borrow. We have a drying room, and outside lines which can be used by guests and muddy boots can be left either in the laundry room or at the front door lobby. We offer a lockable shed for storing your own bikes, or alternatively know where you can hire bikes from. Horse riding, golf and fishing are also available in the area.

Family friendly: We are very child friendly, having two children of our own. We have a bed-settee in one room, or z-beds available for the other rooms, a travel cot and a high chair. There is a range of toys, books and jigsaws available.

Baby friendly: We have a travel cot and high chair; and are happy to refrigerate milk, baby food etc, and to heat up at breakfast, or allow access to our kitchen to heat up food.
