Photo blog: Crieff Hydro by Experimental Mum

WE'VE had some lovely times at Crieff Hydro, the most family friendly hotel we’ve come across, writes Experimental Mum.

We always stay out of season  - and generally midweek  - as it's  both significantly cheaper and quieter.

Our daughter had her first riding lesson there and the kids' club is just fantastic.

We’ve stayed in the more basic, three star self catering chalets, and the everything-you-need-five-star-luxury houses.

I love the luxury of the lodges. They're so spacious and tidy, whereas the girls like the story book feel of the chalets.

And we never visit, without stopping to look at a "shooting stars" ceiling at least once.
