Crieff Hydro resort, part of Crieff Hydro Family of Hotels, now offers courts for the sport of padel. Padel combines elements of tennis and squash and is typically played in doubles on an enclosed court, where the surrounding walls form part of the game.
Crieff Hydro’s Padel Barn facility has three purpose-built indoor courts. It is open to hotel guests, Country Club members, local residents and day visitors from 7am until 10pm daily. Games can be booked for either 60 or 90 minutes, with up to four players per court. Rackets are provided for players, while balls can be purchased from a vending machine.
Richard Leckie, Associate Director at Crieff Hydro, said, “Padel is such a fun and sociable sport and one of the great things about it is how accessible it is. You don’t need to be an experienced player to pick up a racquet and have a go, so we hope the courts will appeal just as much to people trying padel for the first time as those who already love the game. Sport and activity have been part of Crieff Hydro for generations, so it feels fitting to create another way for guests, members and the local community to get active and spend time together.”
Court hire at Padel Barn is priced at £40 per court per hour for Country Club members and £50 per court per hour for hotel guests and non-residents, with up to four players able to share each court. Bookings are available through the Playtomic app.
