2025 Crieff Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

#glasgowtrips Drummond Castle Gardens – A Fairytale Garden Come to Life 🏰Drummond Castle Gardens, Crieff Move over, Jupiter Artland—Drummond Castle Gardens is the real showstopper! Just an hour’s drive from Glasgow, this 17th-century Scottish Renaissance garden blew me away with its timeless elegance and picture-perfect landscaping. Honestly, every corner of this garden feels like it’s been plucked straight from a period film or a royal wedding venue. Why You’ll Love It: • Impeccably manicured lawns, floral symmetry, and classic sculptures—it’s like walking into a historical painting. • On a sunny day, the garden absolutely glows. I was kicking myself for not dressing up because every angle is Instagram gold. • You can spot peacocks, horses, and red squirrels, and there’s even a charming greenhouse filled with gorgeous blooms. More Than Just a Pretty Face: • The gardens were originally designed in the 17th century, later restructured during the Victorian era. The layout blends classic court style with natural elegance. • Though the castle itself isn’t open to the public, it adds a stunning architectural backdrop to the garden views. • Fun fact: it’s a filming location for movies and even hosted a Dior fashion show. Oh, and Queen Victoria once visited—royal-approved! Know Before You Go: • Open June to October only, and it’s privately owned—so check dates before planning. • No public transport access, so a car is a must. • Entry fee is worth every penny, and don’t miss the local dairy ice cream from the shop on your way out—it’s rich but not overly sweet.

#2024wish Just got back from a wonderful day at Auchingarrich Wildlife Park, and it was absolutely fantastic! 🐾🦌🦉 Located in Comrie, Perthshire, Scotland, the entrance fee was around $20 for adults, which is quite reasonable, and they offer discounts for kids, making it perfect for families. The park is nestled in the picturesque countryside, offering stunning views of the surrounding hills. The animal enclosures are spacious and well-designed, providing a natural habitat for the animals. From majestic deer to adorable owls and cheeky meerkats, there's so much to see and learn about. 🦌🦉🐾 One highlight was the interactive feeding sessions – getting up close to the animals and feeding them was such a memorable experience! 🥕 They also have a lovely café serving up delicious homemade treats and a play area to keep the little ones entertained. Nearby attractions include Drummond Castle Gardens for a scenic walk and Loch Earn for water sports and fishing. Overall, Auchingarrich Wildlife Park offers a fantastic day out for animal lovers of all ages! #AuchingarrichWildlifePark #FamilyFun #WildlifeAdventure 🌳🐾

#luxuryhotels #christmastrip #freehotelstay Blown away by this place! We had booked a spa through a third party company and everything ran smoothly, we were treated with the greatest respect and to a very high standard. The food was delicious, the Victorian baths were so relaxing, and the spa was incredible! Olga from the spa went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable, she worked professionally and i could totally tell she loves the job she does. I ended up leaving the day feeling refreshed and happy. Thank you so much, it was totally worth treating my best friend to the spa days. Hopefully book in to see the rooms/activities next time! Great location, beautiful surrounding atmosphere, great staff. Most friendly and helpful receptionist and staff ever, lovely and great first impression of hotel.

#luxuryhotels fantastic stay here for our anniversary. We upgraded to the suite and it was absolutely incredible! They had thought of absolutely everything in the room including wireless chargers next to the bed and all the information about walks etc in the area. It was spotlessly clean, private, quiet and peaceful. Beautiful view of the loch too. We couldn't believe how good value it was for the stay with dinner and breakfast which were both fantastic. We will definitely be back!
