Church Tower Conversion With Stunning Views | Other in Crieff

The Church Tower first opened its doors in 2009 and in 2023 we closed for 9 months and carried out a complete renovation of the Church Tower. We have deep experience of renovating old and Listed building in Perthshire, have a look at Dun Aluinn in nearby Aberfeldy. So when we started to design the renovations of the Church Tower, we brought all that past experience to bear, to create one of the most unique self-catering properties in Scotland. If you have a keen eye for design and absolutely obsessed with detail and cleanliness (like we are!), then The Church Tower perfect place for you to stay 🙂

PLACES TO EAT
Here are some lovely restaurants that we would recommend for lunch or dinner:
Glenturret Distillery – a short walk from the Church Tower along the river – it is the only Distillery in the world that has a Michelin star restaurant, they are open Weds to Sunday for dinner and lunch, might be tough to get a table at this stage, but a tour of the distillery and visit to the shop is well worth it
Gleneagles Hotel – iconic Scottish hotel (15 mins drive) www.gleneagles.com – lovely bar for cocktails and would recommend the Strathearn Restaurant for dinner. World famous golf course, if you are into golf.
Delivino’s – 5 min walk from The Church Tower, in Crieff town square – lovely spot for lunch or dinner
Grandtully Hotel (45mins) near Aberfeldy, lovely for lunch or dinner, after a long walk
Taybank in Dunkeld – see below
THINGS TO DO
Things to do in the area (can be done over a few days)
Drive from Crieff to Aberfeldy and stop off at the Watermill Bookshop & Cafe in Aberfeldy (in the town, just off the main street) – it was voted once as one of Top 75 Bookstores in the world, really nice collection of books. Check out the Gallery space upstairs, say hello to Zanna! downstairs there is an excellent spot for lunch (you will need to book to get a table or just wait – great daily vegetarian specials
Stop for a coffee at the Cow & Parrot just at the traffic lights at Aberfeldy – superb coffee ! say hi to Jamie & Nicola – lovely couple you own and operate it
From Aberfeldy continue towards Kenmore (wee village on the edge of Loch Tay), stop off at the Scottish Crannog Centre (might need to book in advance) and learn what life was like living on Loch Tay in the bronze Age – really interesting and well worth a visit

Make sure you visit Dunkeld, lovely ancient village on the River Tay, about 30 mins from Crieff. Definitely book dinner at the Taybank (upstairs in the restaurant) or lunch downstairs in the bar is excellent (one of our favourites), go on a Wednesday or Thursday for live traditional music in the bar. All their produce is organic and grown in the castle wall garden. They have a lovely beer garden beside the River. There is a fabulous bakey in Dunkeld, just on the road street – good to pick up some bread there
