Review of Crieff Hydro Hotel and Resort

Great self catering lodges but food in hotel shocking.
We had afternoon tea booked for 11 of us which arrived 40 mins late. They said due to a gluton and a dairy allegy plus a vegitarian. All had been pre warned a month ago!
The sandwiches were crusty and old with thick bread and thin fillings. Had to share jam and cream between 2 for scones. Champagne was tepid and we had to ask twice for an icebucket. They weren't busy at all but no staff looked at us to catch their eye or checked on us once.
Worse was yet to come in the restaurant next day for lunch. They ran out of the congealed starters as we arrived and we were told to wait while they defrosted some prawns. Carvery was 1 meat and 1 mixed root veg. No green veg on offer. Had better carveries at cheap pub chains.
