We’ve stayed in lots of places. Hotels, villas, lodges, apartments and caravans and The Hoolit is the most peaceful and tranquil place we’ve stayed. The Hoolit is nestled in a residential area within Crieff and is in easy, short walking distance to the town centre.You’ll find everything you need at The Hoolit including an amazing hot tub and barbecue. We were in hot tub two to three times each day. You will see pheasant and deer in the area to the rear of The Hoolit. The host left eggs laid by their own chickens and the yellow yolks were the richest we’d seen in a long while.The rain shower is tremendous after a soak in the hot tub. You’ll find very comfortable, reclining seating in the living room and a wide screen tv for times when you’re not in the hot tub or out and about.Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and very much look forward to our next stay. You should treat yourself and book a stay at this exceptional and absolutely top notch home from home.
