From the sea-lochs of Lochaber to the island horizons of Skye, Raasay and Lochalsh; from Oban’s bustling harbour to the wild calm of Wester Ross – the West Highlands bring Scotland’s landscapes to life
We had afternoon tea at the hotel after a spa treatment. We loved the Scottish touch to the savouries! All the food was lovely, and service was very attentive and friendly. The overall setting of the restaurant was gorgeous. Very clean and pretty to look at, and the views are lovely. Best setting for an afternoon tea I’ve ever had. Great selection of hot drinks and regularly topped up. Would love to return, wish it was closer to home! Price was very reasonable, and we struggled to finish all the food, and left absolutely stuffed!

We had a truly exceptional stay. The spa treatments were phenomenal, and the staff’s kindness and accommodating nature stood out, with Margaret deserving special thanks for personalizing our experience so thoughtfully. The diverse bars and restaurants were everything we hoped for; we particularly enjoyed the Winter Garden for its delicious lunches and cocktails. Exploring the gorgeous, well-maintained grounds, especially the Victorian garden with its charming ducks and wild rabbits, was a delight. This is an ideal country retreat for both couples and families.

Had a great stay at Crieff Hydro with a 2 year old child. The children’s facilities are fantastic, including the discos, childcare and pool. The ‘train’ is a really exciting treat. There is so much there for children of all ages and for the adults. Used so much, cinema, driving range, putting green, discos and quizzes. The food is fantastic, make sure you book evening meals well in advanced if you want an early slot, if you fail Crieff has some great restaurants too. The setting of the hotel is lovely.
