Delightful Scottish B&B ,with 5 star service. 1 year ago
Located perfectly for Crieff centre and surrounding areas ( Glen Eagles or crieff GC for example golfing) ,Merlindale exceaded even my expectations,the house,the rooms,the ensuite wow the ensuite ,and its owners ( Paul & Helen) were all superb,from the warm reception ,making sure we were settled & had all the information we needed, to the departure like we were saying bye to old friends as they made us feel so welcome.but let me not skip the room ,clean ,very clean (my wife told me and she is v hard to please;-)),the ensuite was as big as the bedroom and that was not small i can assure you. TV ,wifi ( great speed fyi) a Wee Dram FOC in the room ,tea coffee etc and what i now know as "Tablet" ,home made and far to Moorish (if thats a word),v nice.the only negative was they do not warn you ,you might put weight on ,Breakfast is full scotish and/or continental and plenty of it ,cooked to perfection ? well just how i liked it for sure, porridge starter ( made with water and a bit of salt ) yuck!! i hear you say, me to, the scotish way i am told, but outstanding i am converted ,I needed no more food until dinner ( we ate next door after our full day out, there is a resturant which is really good,"Yan's",but thats another review). Paul and Helen certainly do a great job welcoming you into and at Merlindale its not just a B&B ,it really is a not,it has that little bit extra you want but never seem to get elsewhere( mainly down to the owners). I will definatley be returning and would highly recommend it.

Good afternoon Stuart,
It was lovely having you both stay with us for a few days at Merlindale and we really appreciate your feedback and review and we look forward to welcoming you back to stay with us again. Glad to see we have converted you to porridge made the Scottish way and to the delights of homemade Scottish tablet. Many thanks. Paul and Helen.
