Adventure awaits at Action Glen, Crieff Hydro’s dedicated outdoor activity centre just minutes from the hotel. From quad biking and archery to alpaca trekking and Glen’s Adventure Park, there’s something for every age. The centre’s newest highlight, the Highland Cow Experience, offers guests the chance to get up close with Scotland’s most iconic animals.
Crieff Hydro is also a destination for food lovers, following a recent £5 million transformation of its dining spaces. Guests can enjoy Pan-Asian flavours at EAST, light-filled lunches in the Winter Garden, hearty family favourites at The Terrace, or cocktails in the secret Hermitage. Every venue offers its own unique atmosphere, from elegant afternoon teas in The Loggia to breakfast in the historic Meikle.
