Location Details
Crieff, a famous tourist destination, is situated on the geological fault line where the Lowlands and Highlands meet, midway between Perth and Crianlarich. Crieff grew from its 16th- to 18th-century roots as a gathering point for cattle traders to suit the needs of a growing population in the Lowlands due to its strategic location. The gallows, a relic of Crieff's infamous reputation as a "frontier town" known for its penchant for executing criminals, can be seen today in Perth Museum. Most of Crieff was destroyed in a fire in 1716 by Highlanders returning from the demoralising Battle of Sheriffmuir, and the current town layout was planned by James Drummond, 3rd Duke of Perth in 1731. While Drummond was a supporter of the Jacobite Rebellion and hence opposed further fires, it was he who ultimately succeeded. In 1746, Bonnie Prince Charlie and his army remained in town, where they held meetings at the Drummond Arms Inn. Close to Crieff, you may visit the stunning public gardens at Drummond Castle. Crieff is now a thriving tourist destination, home to sites including the Caithness Glass Visitor Centre and the Glenturret Distillery's Famous Grouse Experience. Swimming, squash, and a fitness centre are just some of the activities available at the leisure centre. Golf at Crieff Golf Club or the nine-hole course in adjacent Comrie, or take in the breathtaking environment at the Auchingarrich Wildlife Centre. From Crieff, it's not hard to go to Loch Earn, where the Lochearnhead Watersports Centre and beautiful landscape can be found. Place of inspiration in the heart of Perthshire's breathtaking landscape.
Reviews
This property may look lovely but it most certainly is not. We arrived for a 7 night stay on Friday 11/11/24 to a dirty, cold, damp cottage. Advertised as featuring an open fire, we found the chimney stuffed with newspapers preventing its use. We contacted the holiday company Sykes Cottages at 9.30am Saturday morning for advise on the lack of cleanliness and the open fire. No one responded until Sunday afternoon despite us calling again on Saturday afternoon as we were cold. By Sunday we were all unwell and bedded which was how the following 3 days were. We all have dreadful colds and awful coughs. There was very little hot water, not enough for a bath. Visible signs of dampness throughout the property as well as a smell of dampness. Cobwebs everywhere. Dirty glasses and the dishwasher was fikthy upon arrival. Lloo brush was disgusting. The windows ran with water from dampness and the whole property was cold. There were dehumidifier units throughout the property so it was clear there was a problem with dampness and the owner knows. There are broken blinds in the wardrobe. The bathroom had black grime on the tiles and shower. Behind the beds were all manner of dead bugs and dust. The kitchen was greasy with left over food from previous guests in the dirty freezer. There was a babies bottle top (milky) inside a cupboard in the sitting room and debris, bugs and filth under the sittingroom furniture. The only place we could get warm was in bed. We decided to make the trip home on Wednesday 16/11/24 as none of us were getting any better. We informed Sykes Cottages but their response was slow once again. This property is in need of a deep clean and the dampness issue needs addressed ASAP. This property is filthy, cold and damp!!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS
