We’ve got together and picked our 5 favourite activities here at Crieff, so that you can make the most of your summer holiday in sunny Perthshire. Here goes…

Number 5 – Laser Quest

With a 900 acre estate to run around in, we have more than a few places to hide when you’re involved in a Laser Quest war. Unlike paintballing Laser Quest doesn’t hurt making it ideal to get the kids involved. Also there’s no messy paint for us top wash off the overalls so we love it!

Number 4 – Water Walkers

Ever dreamt of walking on water? We’ve got the solution. Come and try our giant human hamster ball on water! It’s great fun (albeit difficult to stand up) and we promise that you won’t get wet!

Number 3 – Banana Boat

Most people tend to think of warm, sandy beaches or the Mediterranean when you mention banana boating, and it’s fair to say we’ve seen a few shocked faces when we’ve told people that we have our own 5 person Banana Boat. But that’s right, running April to September we offer Banana Boat runs with fully qualified boating instructors. This activity is weather permitting, but let’s face it…you’re going to get wet!

Number 2 – Quad Biking

We regularly get told how good our quad biking experience and how much longer it lasts than people expect, so we had to include it in the top 5. We offer quad biking experiences specific to both adults and kids to ensure everything has the absolute maximum amount of fun, all under the careful watch of our qualified instructors.

Numer 1 – Segways

We’ve saved the best until last. If you’re not familiar with what a Segway is, put simply, you’re missing out. These two wheeled speed machines take a few minutes master but provide hour upon hour of unrelenting fun. We know that they’re so good even our newlyweds can’t resist playing on them…!

A key part of anyone’s special day is the meal. It takes a lot of planning to feed 300 people within the allocated time on the day so you want to make sure you’re in safe hands.

After the meal your reception can be in the fantastic Ferntower Suite. It is capable of holding up to 200 guests and the beautiful décor that carries through the entire hotel continues here so it is ideally suited for a wedding reception. But if this isn’t big enough there are plenty of other spaces that can facilitate your needs.

If you’re planning a last minute wedding Crieff Hydro has some great late offers as well. Planning a wedding a year in advance is hard work as it is but planning it within a few weeks is even harder. But the experts at Crieff Hydro know how to plan a wedding in a hurry without skipping the little details that make the day special. The wedding coordinator will be with you from the start to handle any detail, big or small, and every job that needs doing to plan your big day.
