Merlindale

The warmth of the welcome. Lovely comfy bed. Large bath . Amazing breakfast. Tasteful decor and very friendly owner where nothing was too much trouble.

Really nothing that we did not like .

I've stayed all over Scotland this year, from the Borders to the Hedbrides and Orkney. This was the loveliest place we've had the pleasure of staying in on the Scottish mainland. Heads up vegetarians: here you'll find the best breakfast in the whole of Scotland (and I am very particular about breakfast!). Paul and Helen were superb hosts- warm, friendly, authentic and fun; their house was immaculate and homely at once; our room was spotless, massive, and comfy. Speaking of which - these are the comfiest beds in mainland Scotland, too. And what a beautiful touch- the dram of whisky, the homemade tablet and the homemade shortbread (didn't last long!). Plus AWESOME selection of clipper tea. Loads of fluffy, spotless towels; great toiletries- basically, everything you can think of: Paul and Helen, the owners, have it covered. Wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend Merlindale. An absolute delight. Excited to try the bath next time! Thank you again for such a LOVELY stay and at such short notice, too!

Having to leave. We could have stayed forever and we promise we will back, as well as telling all and sundry about how beautiful Merlindale is. Keep living the dream. You love what you do and it shows :-)

Super property. Lovely owners and an absolutely fantastic experience. Would highly recommend!

Nothing. Go visit!

Merlindale was fabulous, Helen and Paul were superb hosts and all the little extras made our stay perfect. The room was lovely, very comfy bed and amazing bathroom. We had a hospitality tray with a bottle of single malt whisky, home made tablet and shortbread. We even had bath robes and slippers provided. The breakfast was perfectly cooked with an amazing selection.

Nothing, it was perfect.

The room was beautiful. Extra big bed that was very comfortable. Little whisky decanter in room was a nice touch. Bathroom is very spacious and spotless, looks brand new. Paul and Helen were lovely and very obliging with any request. Breakfast was delicious too and more than enough. There was a great selection from a continental style buffet with a full cooked breakfast too. Only a 7-8 minute walk to Crieff town centre.
