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 !
