Nestled in the heart of the stunning Perthshire countryside in Central Scotland close to the Highlands boundary, one of these Crieff holiday cottages is an amazing place for you to stay on your next break, particularly if you’re hoping to embark on a serene countryside escape away from the stresses of everyday life!
Why Crieff Holiday Cottages?
Known for being a quaint and historic market town, Crieff is a great place to spend your next break, especially if you’re hoping to experience the best of the Scottish countryside. With a history dating back hundreds of years, the town is centred around the picturesque market square that’s lined with a host of independent shops, cosy cafés, pubs and restaurants to enjoy during your stay.
Probably one of the most significant events to take place in the town is the Crieff Highland Gathering, which is well worth checking out if you happen to be staying in one of these Crieff cottages during the event. With similar events taking place all over Scotland, it’s comparable to a ‘mini-Olympics’ where contestants compete in a host of traditional sports such as shotput and even Highland dancing!
Places to Visit near these Crieff Cottages
Despite being a rural town, there’s no shortage of awesome things to see and do just a stone’s throw away from these Crieff holiday cottages. One of the best places to visit is Loch Tay, a huge lake that’s flanked by miles of stunning woodlands; a lovely place to stop off to experience the breathtaking views of the water.

Another brilliant place to visit from these Crieff cottages is the city of Perth, which can be reached by taking just a 40-minute drive east towards the coast. Here, you’ll find the impressive Scone Palace on the city’s northern outskirts, once home to the Scone Stone that’s used during the coronation of British monarchs.

Also on the outskirts of the city towards its eastern edge is the impressive Huntingtower Castle, a stunning medieval structure that’s open to visitors throughout the year.
