Merlindale B&B

Our family stayed at the wonderful Merlindale to attend a wedding nearby. We were very warmly welcomed by Amanda and Geoff who went above and beyond to make our stay fabulous. |The rooms have everything you could ever wish for, they are beautifully furnished, very well equipped and cosy! Superb attention to detail. |Geoff’s breakfast dishes hit the spot too! Delicious local food cooked to perfection. |We are so glad you decided to relocate to Crieff from Australia! |Don’t hesitate to book this gem of a place.

Merlindale is an exceptional B&B, the decor and level of comfort is outstanding and worthy of any five star hotel! I visited with a friend for a girlie night away and we were both overwhelmed by the warm friendly welcome we received from our charming hosts, Amanda and Geoff. Our rooms were beautifully appointed with lots of homely touches and delicious treats. Everything was spotlessly clean, the beds were uber comfy, the towels were soft and fluffy and there were quality toiletries in the stunning bathrooms. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order by Geoff and offered plenty of choice including homemade yoghurt and granola. Everything was delicious and we loved the quirky hand knitted tea-cosy 🥰. |Thank you for allowing us to share your beautiful home, we look forward to visiting again soon

Our experience at Merlindale B&B must honestly figure among the very best anywhere! So easy to find, just off the picturesque road running between Perth & Crieff and a stone's throw from Crieff town centre, with its history as a spa town since Victorian times, associations with Rob Roy, Scotland's Robin Hood, and so many appealing restaurants, such as Croabh. The enchanting guesthouse is altogether supremely well appointed, so warm & cosy, with so many thoughtful touches that made our stay such a joy and so memorable. But above all, you can just sense that hosts, Amanda & Geoff, adore being in the heart of beautiful Perthshire and love providing the best of hospitality to their guests. Amanda made us feel immensely welcome from the outset, even offering up hot tea & coffee and whisky in a decanter and entertaining us at various times, whilst Geoff cooked up stunning, delicious breakfasts, using locally sourced ingredients, such as smoked salmon from Dunkeld. Our room was immaculate, clean, dead quiet and snug and the en-suite bathroom was spacious with a rainfall shower, heated towel rail & fluffy towels. Truly an exemplary model for the entire Scottish tourism trade! We can't wait to stay again, hopefully very soon. Thanks again so much to you both!!

My wife and I stayed here in May 2025 and what a fantastic stay it was. The car parking facilities were excellent The building is a beautiful stone structure The welcome that we received was exemplary and nothing was too much trouble for the owner, we felt very welcome from start to finish of our break. The dining room was set out lovely and quality of food served excellent. All in all we wholeheartedly recommend, thank you 🙏

A great stay and what a stunning property this is, in Crieff. Merlindale has been empathetically restored and finished to a very high standard. It's thoughtful, contemporary and rich in art and detail. A warm friendly welcome awaits you by new owners and hosts Geoff & Amanda. My room (Thistle) located on the 1st floor was fabulous. High ceilings, original sash windows, wooden shutters, huge bed with luxury linens. There's a great TV, amenities and decent WiFi. My huge and elegant private showroom was located across the hall. The towels were soft and there were so many lovely touches. Breakfast was included in my rate and all ingredients were perfectly cooked and delightfully served in the perfectly proportioned dining room on the ground floor. There's a car parking space for every guest and my only regret, I wish I'd had more time to relax and enjoy the comfort of Merlindale as well as the local Perthshire countryside. Will definitely return and share this gem with our Selkie clients.

We stayed here for two nights the hosts were very kind and friendly and made us feel most welcome. Our room was beautiful and spotlessly clean and tidy. There was some lovely little touches like homemade short bread and some whisky left in a decanter . The breakfast was delicious and all ingredients were fresh will definitely stay here agin .

We had the most amazing time. Geoff and Amanda are the perfect hosts nothing is too much trouble. Merlindale is enchanting.We cannot recommend this enough and would definitely come back.

Lovely B&B with incredible hosts. Great breakfast and really clean rooms. Stayed for a motorcycle trip and stored our bikes overnight in the secure garage on site.
