Dr Meikle opened his hydropathic spa in 1868. Think clean eating, outdoor gyms and (questionable) hydrotherapy treatments - 19th century style. Could he imagine that today, Crieff Hydro would still be owned and run by his descendants? Or that guests would be zooming about on quadbikes and Segways, instead of taking ice-cold dips on nurse's orders?.
For a long time the strongest drink you could get here was a double ginger beer on the rocks: we were officially a dry hotel (if you ignore sneaky hipflasks) until we opened our first bar in 1994. You wouldn't think it now, looking at our wall of whisky and mixologists shaking up perfect cocktails.

After being regular visitors in the past, we've been unable to return since a dreadful incident, when an unfortunate guest suffered a heart attack at the next table in the dining room, from which he sadly died. My partner, a doctor, gave emergency care for almost an hour until the ambulance arrived. We'd scarcely started our meal, and of course could hardly eat the rest. Indeed it somewhat ruined the weekend.
But the REALLY shocking thing was that the Manager scornfully refused even to provide so much as a meal voucher in recognition of our actual loss and distress. Still less did the

Not long back from our second short break there and cannot speak highly enough about the place for a family break. Lot's of things to do within the grounds that does not completely rely upon good weather. Two slots of childcare gives the adults a break too thru the day which is a big attraction if going with children. Food is nice and overall appearance of the place is very impressive.
