Hogmanay at the Hydro
Where better to see 2024 in that up in Scotland. We love staying at the Crieff Hydro. It has a home away from home feel that offers a warm welcome to the whole family. In fact all of the hotels in the group do.

What’s more – if you book a break at any of the Hotels in the group for early 2024 you can save 25% plus receive a free 1881 Gin Scented Candle when you use the code WINTER24.

To find out more please visit the Crieff Hydro Family of Hotels website.

Offer valid for breaks booked from 18th December 2023 to 30th January 2024 and taken between 3rd January and 28th March 2024.

Merry Christmas

There are so many fabulous walks you can do straight from the door of the Crieff Hydro – our favourite is going up The Knock, wooded hill that overlooks the town. It’s only a short walk but will still give you a good workout as you climb up to the top to be rewarded with a great view.

Boxing Day Walks
After the indulgence of the day before, Boxing Day is the time when many of us like to get outside and go for a walk. You could say it’s the unofficial day of walking. This year our friends at Walking With Water are encouraging you to take special notice of the waterways near the path you take and consider how the actions you take at home impact the environment around you.

You can find out more about the work they do on their website.


Keeping the essentials dry
Merry Christmas

Ready for all weathers
Designed with watersports in mind, OverBoard bags are perfect in the inclement weather we face in the British winter. Whether you’re walking, paddleboarding, kayaking or having a day on the beach – it’s good to know your belongings will stay dry in the fully waterproof bag.


Merry Christmas

Last minute stocking fillers
