An account of The Beatles' stay at the Four Seasons Hotel Perthshire.
In 1964 The Beatles stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel on the banks of Loch Earn. Now Beatles fans can follow in the footsteps of John, Paul, George and Ringo and experience a memorable stay at the Four Seasons hotel and chalet.
The following article comes from the Strathearn Herald, Crieff, Saturday 24th October 1964.

Late on Monday night [19 October, 1964], with rain dripping off floodlit trees, inverted in a plurality of puddles, four travel weary tourists from Liverpool arrive at the Four Seasons Hotel, St. Fillans.
They were staying for only two nights, but a reception committee waited to usher them and their retinue straight into the dining-room to partake of early morning nourishment.
The Beatles enjoyed four juicy steaks after a hard day's night at their show in Edinburgh [19 October, 1964: ABC Cinema, Edinburgh].
They went to bed early – on Tuesday morning – and slept long after sunrise. John and Paul, who shared a chalet, were out and about first.
They took a short walk on the shores of Loch Earn, whetting their appetite for lunch.
They found the invigorating fresh air a bit chilly, but waited to try to entice a dog into the loch by throwing sticks for it to retrieve. The dog was not playing, however, and refused to do more than paddle.

While John and Paul enjoyed lunch in the hotel dining-room, George and Ringo had breakfast in bed.
John and Paul later tried their hand at boating and went out on Loch Earn. After some confusion at the start, until everyone had learned how to drive their boats, they went off and beat up the loch for half-an-hour or so.
