The resort offers a cozy atmosphere with spacious cabins and a good variety of dining options. However, some activities for children come at an extra cost, and the pool area felt quite small given the number of guests. The staff was generally helpful, but there was a noticeable confusion during check-in regarding our food package. Overall, while there are enjoyable aspects, some services and amenities could use improvement.

Rooms

The cabin we stayed in was decent but had basic kitchen equipment and uncomfortable beds. It had a mezzanine layout which wasn't ideal for bathroom access between rooms.

Dining experiences varied widely. The Italian restaurant was fantastic, but the Brassiere took unusually long to serve our meals. Prices were high overall.

Facilities

The resort features a variety of activities, but the pool was too small for guests, and the closure of the jacuzzi and steam room was disappointing. The kids' area, however, was well-received.

We had a lovely time at this family-friendly hotel, with ample activities for our little one while we enjoyed some relaxing moments. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the staff were genuinely attentive. However, we faced a couple of hiccups with our room allocation and parking. The dining options were good, but I felt there could be some improvements in communication regarding breakfast timing.

I had a decent stay at the hotel, with friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. However, my anniversary surprise was marred by a mix-up with our spa treatments, which was a significant letdown. The dining experiences varied, with some great meals but also a rushed service on the first night. The overall experience felt a bit disjointed, but the lodge accommodations were adequate for our family group.

Our recent stay at Crieff Hydro was filled with fun activities for the kids, and the comfortable facilities made it a great family getaway. However, the sleeping arrangements could use improvement, as the sofa beds weren't comfortable, which impacted our rest. The food options were good but a bit pricey, especially for a family. Overall, while it was a relaxing and entertaining half-term, we did have a few hiccups that kept it from being perfect.

Rooms

7.0

The executive studio we stayed in was spacious enough for our family of four, but the decor felt a bit dated. While it was clean, the uncomfortable sofa beds made for a restless night.

Service

Staff were generally attentive and friendly, particularly during our interactions at the Meikle restaurant, although we did encounter some inconsistencies in service on busier nights.
