Crieff local knowledge required...

Wife & I have been invited to a wedding at Crieff Hydro Hotel on Sat 15th Dec - even got babysitters sorted - great we thought!
Wife phones hotel to book a room at "preferential" rate due to being wedding guests
Lack of availability, she calls Hotel Connexions, same story - busy time due to party nights etc
The invitations also list the following B&Bs, all on Perth Road which doesn't look too far away (staggering p!shed on way home might be a different story
)
Merlindale Guest house
Arduthie House
Galvelbeg House
Glenearn House
Kingarth House
Have had a quick look at their websites, but would be appreciative of any recommendations from the above (or others) - bearing in mind closeness to the Hydro is a major factor
Thanks in advance

Say no more. Don't go. Iain Boag will be all over your wife....not to be trusted with your wife....or mother.

Must resist any comments about him being welcome to her and added reference to Visa bill etc...

In order of preference.....
The Hydro has a sister hotel within 100 yds of the Main Gate
(Murraypark Hotel).......although you would have thought the reservation staff would have checked availability on that as well?
Merlindale - Run by John and Jackie Clifford as a posh B&B
Safe Choice with possible "sunken baths and baby oil" adventures
The Glenearn Boarding House has recently been renovated/rebuilt.....It used to be a Morrison's Academy Boarding House!!. Current owner is a car dealer so has a Large /safe car park housing Lambo's/Beemers and Mercs.
Galvebeg .....directly across the road from Glenearn ....also OK
Arduthie........used to be a hotel,recently changed hands,no recent feedback as to how good or bad
Kingarth.......Been operating since Adam was a Lad........and probably never been decorated since then either!!

Iain, thanks for the above - no answer from the Murraypark so have emailed them.
From the others, are they all within walking distance?
Which would you recommend? (Merlindale & Glenearn seem favourites from you comments & their websites)
Cheers!

Merlindale first .....
Glenearn a close second
Both within a 10 minute stagger (downhill) from the Hydro.

Strange one - retried the Crieff Hydro, reiterating the wedding name & they have a room for us!
Saves me staggering thru Crieff in the shyte weather, pishing in people's gardens
