About this property

Interior Design Heaven - world class detailing and finishings

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 🙂

Here are some important facts to note:

3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms – all with walk-in showers
Beautiful Dornbracht showers and taps, in matt gold, underfloor heating in the bathrooms
Oak flooring throughout with a lovely mix of rugs
Superior Egyptian cotton bedlinen towels from Harper London
Bulthaup B1 kitchen and appliances – if you know Bulthaup then you know!
Dining for 6 guests, with high quality glassware, crockery and cutlery
Coffee machine – with complimentary coffee from Difference Coffee – the Worlds Best Coffee
TV snug room, with cozy sofa area
Smart TV
Superfast wifi
Superb views from the top of the Tower
Lovely balcony, with views towards the Glenturret valley and over the roof tops of Crieff
Under-Church secure parking space for 1 vehicle, with additional parking available on the street when the Church Tower is located
We are just 5 mins walk to the centre of town

WHAT TO DO IN THE CRIEFF AREA

Guests always ask what is the area like, so I created my Top 10 things to do in the Crieff area, If you manage to tick off these you will be guaranteed to have a wonderful time and want to come back again. So here we go....

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
Stop for a pizza & beer at The Fisherman at the Marina
Continue the drive to Killin and enjoy the views of the Loch
From Killin continue to St Fillians, Cormie and back to Crieff.
In Comrie stop off at the old Royal Hotel, nice for a drink
If you like downhill mountain biking, stop off at Comrie Croft, halfway between Crieff and Comrie – nice place for lunch as well

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
Rent some bikes and a guide from Progession Bikes in Dunkeld, speak to Adam owner and ask for a guide to take you up on the trails for a day or halfday
When you are visiting Dunkeld, stop off for a walk at the Hermitage – ancient forest area along the River Tay
There is a great company called Beyond Adventure in Aberfeldy, speak to Julie or Ross (the owner), they can organise half day or full day adventures – canoeing on Loch Faskally and cliff jumping is a favourite, canoeing along River Tay, full day guide hike into the hills
Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bathrobes. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a washing machine, and a balcony. Housekeeping is available on request.

Wonderfully unique

A well equipped and unique flat in a former church, with the bonus of having access to the former belfry which has two club chairs and wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. The Town of Crieff is well situated for day trips out into the surrounding area. The town centre is only a few minutes walk, and has a fabulous specialty food store. This accomodation is highly recommended.

Unique Apartment

We stayed in this unique property for 5 days in September. The apartment is on the third floor of the church building and is on 3 floors above that. It would be difficult for anyone with mobility issues. The views from the living room and tower are amazing and well worth the climb. The location is an easy walk to the town of Crieff and a great base for exploring the North.

Our stay in Crieff

The condo church tower was the most unique place we ever stayed. It was perfect for our family of five and could of fit six. Emilia was very accommodating even after we ran late for check in. The town is easy to get around, you just have to plan for dinner early. But if not there are convenient groceries for you to make dinner at the house. The owner John was able to answer all of our questions before arrival even though we were coming from the US Emilia answered any questions quickly while we were there. Very pleased and would highly recommend. The Richbourgs

First Visit to Scotland!

After flight delays we made it to Church Tower! Emily was amazing, meeting us and showing us the church tower. So beautiful and comfortable, as described. A few concerns arose and there was a bit of confusion about who the point of contact was. It all got worked out and the much anticipated delicious welcome basket did arrive; and we were able to take our goodies with us to Inverness. Crieff was a beautiful area and we enjoyed the pubs, hikes, and drives. Thank you for a wonderful first experience in Scotland.

Very different, excellent accomodation with stunning views

We were three couples in Crief for a walking / relaxing weekend. The accommodation was very different but also very interesting. We all had our bedroom and bath or shower facilities. Everything worked and was of good quality and it was a pleasure to be there and enjoy the space. We were fortunate to have constant sunshine and flat was filled with light from morning to evening. The balcony really made it the best, sitting out in the evening enjoying a sundowner with the sun and the views...We had a great time and i would thoroughly recommend this accomodation.(Note - the stairs may be an issue for the less able). Crief and the surrounding Perthshire countryside is fantastic with plenty of walks. The distillery is worth a visit as is the Crief Hydro Hotel for views, walking, food and activities.

weekend stay

Apartment is stunning, there were 3 of us staying for 2 nights and we had 10 relatives over for drinks one night. Everyone agreed the apartment is unique and special. Amazing views from the balcony. The kitchen was appointed with everything you would need. From the basket of goodies that was left the lemon cake was amazing, as was the fresh orange juice. But the bread loaf was stale and the milk was sour. The beds were extremely comfortable. The real negatives come from the bathrooms. Dim lighting, one single small spotlight on the ceiling that is for accenting a picture, not lighting a room, ladies you will be putting on your makeup by candlelight. Also, hate the rainshowers only, ladies don't always want to wash their hair every time they shower and it's almost impossible not to get your hair wet, PLUS, the showers in 2 of the bathrooms spray everywhere, toilet, shelf where you want to put your stuff, everywhere. So you take a shower and after a few hours you go into the bathroom, your feet, socks, slippers are completely soaked. It just doesn't dry out, even if you leave the fan on, the floor never dries out from the RAIN shower right next to the toilet that sprays everywhere! The only other complaint was that there was a lot of "sand" on the floor under where the stone walls were. It was apparent the apartment had not been recently vacuumed. I found vacuum in closet and cleaned it before our guests arrived, it was that bad.Overall, think it was a little overpriced.

Super stay in glorious Crieff

The Church Tower is a cracking location, for a family or group stay. Really well located, and just a short walk into the centre of Crieff, and very well equipped kitchen enabling meals to be prepared in, if so required. Very clean and comfortable, with quality bedding and furnishings. Off-street parking in a secure garage was also a benefit for storage of kids bikes.

New Year in the Tower

Flat itself had character and some nice features but the building overall was bland and very anonymous in the entrance areas and outside. We had problems with the creaky floorboards, raised and damaged floorboards, the entertainment system (which frequently refused to load properly), and general layout (each of the 3 floors were divided by an unheated stairwell), but otherwise this was a good experience in an interesting environment. Management was excellent as were all communications - very accommodating and helpful making our stay as stress free as possible.

Beautiful place with great location but too expensive.

This condo needs a good cleaning. Radios in the rooms .. really?! Isn't it 2019! More TVs please -- not that you want to watch TV when you are visiting such a beautiful place. Like other reviews - FIX the stove or at least provide a guide to tell you what the knobs are for. Price when booked far in advance is too high. Hot water / tour of place when we arrived --- these were problems! More attention to details would be nice. For long stays, make it obvious how to have new linens or towels arranged. Crieff is a lovely town.

Church tower in Crieff

This property exceeded our expectations. It had that ‘funky-wow’ factor we look for in a vacation rental. Check in was a breeze, Emilia was waiting for us with a smile, flowers and a bottle of wine! She gave us the grand tour and explained everything and even let us check in early. It was very tastefully and very comfortably decorated. Comfy furnishings are important to me (more than my hubby) and the beds, couches and chairs were all comfy and cozy. The apartment could comfortably hold 2-3 couples, although it was just my husband and I. We ate in mostly from the Co-op down the road, but ate twice at The Meadow Inn just next to the Co-op. Food was quite good here and in walking distance so no worries if having a pint of whatever... Location ideal for exploring much of the country. We were sad to leave, wish we had booked for longer, and we will definitely be back.
