Comrie Croft Bikes

The bike shop at Comrie Croft sits right at the heart of what's become a proper mountain biking destination in Perthshire. You can rent everything from hardtails to full-suspension rigs, which is genuinely useful if you've driven up from down south without your own gear. The staff know the local trails inside out and won't steer you wrong - they'll match you with the right bike for what you actually want to do, not just flog you the most expensive option.

This works brilliantly if you're staying at Comrie Croft itself, the holiday park just next door, since you can grab a bike first thing and head straight out onto the network of trails that weave through the surrounding forest. The terrain here ranges from gentle forest tracks suitable for families to proper challenging singletrack that'll test your skills. Allow a few hours minimum if you're serious about exploring, though you could pop in for a quick thirty-minute spin if you're just breaking up a lazy afternoon.

Crieff sits a short drive away if you need supplies or fancier meals, but honestly, most visitors come for the biking rather than the scenery alone. The proximity to Comrie Holiday Park Ltd and Twenty Shilling Wood means you could base a week-long trip here and barely scratch the trail surface. It's ideal for families with confident riders and adults who want proper off-road action without driving hours to Fort William.
