Hydro or Similar Hotel

Looking to get a weekend deal on a Hydro hotel or similar for weekend 20-22nd August. Looked at Dunblane, Crieff. Looking at going to anywhere from the Scottish Borders to Perth area. Where is the best place to book these type of hotels. Are you likely to get any of them on Priceline.

    I'm not sure of any deals going but Crieff Hydro is so much better than Dunblane. I think the best prices are actually on their website but its not cheap as they factor in childcare.

    Hi there,

    Go to Crieff Hydro - you will love it! We regularly go there with our children. Try the hotel's own website - you may find it's fairly reasonable as the Scottish summer holidays are over by then but it will obviously be much cheaper to go midweek. 6-hours daily childcare is also included in the price (for children over 2 years). You have to book this in advance as the kids' club can get busy. Your rate will also include a great buffet breakfast and an allowance of, I think, around £22.00 per person for dinner. Kids also have breakfast, lunch (packed or hot) and a dinner. Great kids' pool and very family focused. Loads of activities to do but have to pay extra for.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the info. Was going to be a couple's break so might go elsewhere as OH doesn't keep well.
