Alrick Holidays from £186

Good shower and an excellent breakfast. No food on site Tuesday evening. Decent value.

Central yet car friendly, short walk to V&A and Discovery, numerous places to eat nearby (including an in-house option). Loads of thoughtful extras including a fan for warmer days, flannels, hot chocolate, chilled water...and a duck. Room serviced daily; spacious and well-decorated. Pool and sauna very clean; much appreciated after a day walking around St Andrew's. Staff efficient and welcoming. No internal noise although Tay Bridge traffic somewhat audible with window open. Would readily revisit.

Reception staff were great but the bar staff would forget to come to take your order, after being told to take a seat by bar staff. Maybe understaffed in the bar area

Had a brilliant time with my husband and absolutely loved seeing the newly renovated Crieff Hydro, it’s absolutely beautiful. We were there child-free celebrating our 10-year anniversary, so it felt extra special. The meals and breakfasts were outstanding and really made the stay even more enjoyable. Our only frustrating moment was when we tried to have a drink in the adult bar. Unfortunately, there appeared to be only one member of staff on. We sat down for around 15 minutes without any acknowledgment or update that we couldn’t be served, and eventually ended up going to the other bar instead. Such a shame, as we were really looking forward to enjoying that part of the experience. Overall though, we had a lovely stay.

Angus is in the centre of it all: restaurants, shopping, grocery, friendly staff and locals. It is true Scotland. And why come to Scotland unless you are there to experience the culture and the people both of whom are the some of the best in the world. If you want a good local experience, stay at Angus. They will not disappoint.
