Guests say
Bank Place in Crieff is praised for its cleanliness, central location, and cosy atmosphere. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen and comfortable bed, though the garden's upkeep and limited parking are noted drawbacks. Its proximity to local shops and attractions makes it a convenient base for exploring the area.
Guests consistently mention that the property is spotlessly clean, contributing to a pleasant stay.
The central location is frequently highlighted as convenient, though one review mentions it being secluded with no view. Proximity to shops and attractions is a plus.
The bed's comfort is praised, but one guest found it too firm. The heating is appreciated, but there was an initial issue with turning it on.
Facilities like the kitchen are well-received, but the overgrown garden and the front door issue detract from the overall experience.
There is no mention of gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so this category cannot be scored.

The location is ok though very secluded because no view. All blinded windows and houses or walls. The front door really stacks so without my husband I myself couldn’t go in or out. The bed was very tough. A topper might help. The shower and heating is well provided. It’s ok for a simple overnight stay. Parking is free on the street in front of the house but very limited. A payed parking is round the corner.

A little gem of an apartment, centrally located and only 2 minutes walk to the High Street. The off street parking is a great bonus.

Bank Place was spotlessly clean, cozy and a great base for our 8 days stay in Crieff, it has everything you need including some tea, coffee and sugar, you will need milk though. You are a few minutes walk from the main shops and some great places to eat. You are very central to lots of places, just over an hour to St Andrews, Glasgow, Dundee and Loch Lomond, all of which we visited and thoroughly enjoyed. Closer by a visit to Drummond Gardens is worthwhile as well as the Visitors Centre. Thank you Jack and family for a very enjoyable stay.
