By public transport
https://www.travelinescotland.com/ is an excellent resource for planning your journey. Their telephone helpline is also available 24 hours a day on 0871 200 22 33.
The nearest railway stations are Dunblane, Perth and Gleneagles. If you're coming from the south, your best route is probably to get off the train at Dunblane and catch the 15/15A bus to Crieff at the station there.
Crieff has bus services connecting it to Perth and Stirling (routes 15, 15A & 155) which run roughly every half hour during the day, Auchterarder (routes 18 & 18A) and, on school days, St Fillans/Killin (route 890). Or you can see the sights by hopping aboard the excellent local bus service (no.45) which was enhanced and improved quite recently. Up to the minute timetables are also on the Perth & Kinross Council website - http://www.pkc.gov.uk/bustimetables
Coming to the Hoolet, it's best to get off the bus in Burrell Street near the Meadow Inn. From there, it's a 3-4 minute walk to the house.
There are lots of nice walks starting from the front door of The Hoolet - more information on another sheet and in The Hoolet's library. Crieff is a lovely town with a good range of shops, galleries, restaurants and parks all within a few minutes walk from the house in Carrington Terrace.
