This is a house with three flights of stairs internally and many more steps externally, so it might be a challenge for people with significant mobility problems. There is wheelchair access from the pavement to the front door: that level of the house has the lounge and a bedroom with a king-size bed and an ensuite with toilet, wash basin and shower. The other bedrooms (both twin-bedded) and bathroom are one and two flights of stairs above, while the kitchen, dining room, utility room and back door are all on a level which is flight of stairs (with seven steps and a handrail on one side) below the level of the front door. The front doorway opens to 640mm, and can be opened to 1300mm by using the second leaf. The internal doorways are 700mm wide. There are four steps to the back door on the outside, and two flights of stairs with eight steps each down to the back garden. The openings in the front wall onto the street do not have gates.
No pets or animals are permitted (this is because some of our own regular guests have severe allergy problems with a wide range of animals, even "hypoallergenic" ones, unfortunately: one is particularly sensitive to hair and dander from cats and dogs, especially Labradors).
Crieff offers an excellent base for touring, walking, cycling and golf. In addition there is a wide range of alternative activities from whisky tasting at Glenturret (Scotland's oldest working distillery, now with a Lalique bar and Michelin-starred restaurant) and Tullibardine Distilleries to quad biking at the Crieff Hydro. There is no shortage of history here either, with standing stones, Roman camps, Scotland's oldest lending library at Innerpefferay, the world's first earthquake detector and the only preserved British WWII Prisoner of War camp at nearby Cultybraggan. Crieff Visitor Centre has more information about the history of the area, including it's past as a centre of cattle droving. You can pop in and see their glass blowers working at Caithness Glass at the Visitor centre. The Strathearn Art Space just up the road often has cultural events from comedy to film nights to plays and the Leisure Centre has a public swimming pool and courts for hire.
See http://www.visitcrieff.scot/walking-in-crieff/ for more walks from our front door. Or you can see the sights by hopping aboard the excellent local bus service (no.45).
The Crieff Hydro's 900-acre estate provides a fantastic backdrop for horse riding & pony treks (all abilities catered for), mountain biking, archery and golf, and boasts a 4 star Spa and Sauna for those wanting a little rest and relaxation.
There are challenging golf courses to be found nearby at Crieff, Muthill, Comrie and St. Fillans, but Perthshire boasts many, many more golf courses – see https://www.golfperthshire.com/
Perthshire is a great place to cycle - see https://www.cyclinguk.org/cycle/cycling-perth-kinross for more information and ideas.
The Club at Gleneagles provides the opportunity to play a little more golf, shoot, fish and try your hand at falconry.
Perth and Stirling are close by and Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow with all their many attractions are little more than an hour away.
Why not visit the fabulous V & A Museum just beside Scott's polar exploration ship the "Endurance" on Dundee's riverside? HMS Unicorn, a Royal Navy frigate built in 1824 lies nearby and is also well worth a visit.
Perth, the Fair City, has an active cultural life – see https://horsecross.co.uk/ for more information
