It takes a lot for me to give a place a 5 as always think there is room for improvement. This place we found faultless. Clean fresh beautifully decorated with friendly hosts who gave us a warm welcome and explained all the parts of our stay. The room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was truly amazing. Full Scottish, home made granola and yoghurt. Service was excellent. Couldn't have asked for anything more. We spoke to our hosts who took time to engage and chat with us. The house is an easy walk to the town centre and easy to find by car. I highly recommend this B&B if you're in Crieff or exploring the local area. Thank you Paul and Helen for a lovely stay and all the effort you put into those little personal touches like the wee dram of whiskey and home made shortbread. It makes all the difference.

Fantastic little GEM 💎

Very clean and immaculate facilities, fantastic and helpful hosts, great breakfast..... ticked all the boxes. Next time I will pick a diffrent room due to toilet preference, which i didnt know prior to booking - thistle room toilet isnt an ensuite or within the same room, its across the hallway and a key is required for both rooms (not great for a 2am toilet dash 😀) i only mention this as its not everyone cup of tea, i was constantly worrying i would meet someone in the hallway, had to keep getting dressed 😀

Melindale's is a wonderfully relaxing B&B with an amazing host family that makes you feel welcome the moment you walk through the door. The Bluebell room with private ensuite is highly recommended as it is comfortable, spacious, and has all the comforts of home, including TV and Netflix. I would recommend Merlindale's to anyone traveling through or to Crieff. A must stay!

Beautiful Hotel and Great Hosts

The Merlindale experience starts when you arrive and meet the host Paul. He is very welcoming and cheerful. Paul explained the layout of the hotel and then showed us to our room. The room (ours was the Orchid room) was very tastefully decorated and the bathroom was large and very modern. All areas of the hotel were spotlessly clean and warm throughout. The breakfast is excellent with lots of homemade cereal and yoghurt as well as the traditional breakfast items all of a high standard and expertly cooked by Helen, Paul’s wife. The hotel is situated just 5 minutes walk from the high street which has shops, restaurants, cafés and some bars. Paul was very helpful throughout our stay and nothing was too much trouble for him. As we had an afternoon pick up to take us to Edinburgh, Paul allowed us to leave our cases and do some more exploring around town. Thank you Paul and Helen for a great stay in your beautiful hotel.

Cannot recommend highly enough. Outstanding.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were looked after very well from the minute we stepped in the door. The host, Paul, welcomed us and explained everything we needed to know. There were treats awaiting us in the beautiful king-size bedroom: as well as the usual tea and coffee there was a wee dram for us in a beautiful crystal decanter and shortbread! The hosts have done an excellent job doing up the lovely old building. The decor throughout is beautiful, bright and tasteful. Our en-suite was modern and spotlessly clean as were the bedroom and breakfast room. The breakfast itself was also of an exemplary high standard re. choice and quality and service. Paul and his wife ensured that our stay was one to remember for all the right reasons.

Fantastic Bed and Breakfast

We stayed for 2 nights whilst watching the Senior Open Golf at nearby Gleneagles. We were so impressed with all aspects of the stay. The owners were charming and so hospitable - nothing was too much trouble. The house and rooms are immaculate , the bed extremely comfortable with great bedding. So many nice touches including coffee on arrival,malt whisky in the room,home made granola and fresh fruit for breakfast and , of course, a really excellen cooked breakfast. Can't recommend enough and hope to return in the future !
