Allow us to reshape your expectations of a country house hotel experience. Cromlix is owned by Andy Murray and family. Nestled in the scenic Scottish countryside just three miles from Dunblane, Cromlix is located in 34 acres of secluded woodlands and landscaped garden grounds with its own chapel and loch. The hotel offers 15 bedrooms plus a Gateside Lodge, The Glasshouse Restaurant, Bar and a number of beautiful private dining & meeting rooms.
Cromlix re-opened on Tuesday 21st March 2023 after a complete interior refurbishment. Our new website won’t be ready until the end of April, so until then, we wanted to give you a sneak preview of what’s been going on.
Our doors closed to guests in early January and since then a very dedicated team of hard-working individuals have been pouring their heart and soul into creating a beautiful new Cromlix. Our walls, floors and everything in-between have been completely refashioned and we hope you like what you find. Our desire is to embody a relaxed yet luxurious country house aesthetic, with a generous helping of drama and a sense of humour too. All of this whilst retaining the focus on impeccable standards of service and attention to detail that our staff have worked so hard to become known for.
The utterly gorgeous refurbishment has been led by Kim Murray, with this completing the first phase of planned updates to ensure Cromlix continues to offer the perfect mix of luxury, ultimate comfort and vibrant elegance.
The hotel has been working with interior designer Suzanne Garuda to re-imagine the property and optimise the space both inside and out. Suzanne adds: “We have made things somewhat less traditional whilst retaining the classical roots of the hotel; using beautiful bold and dramatic colours, personal touches of flowers, books and artwork, and bringing elements of the beautiful Scottish countryside in to really reflect the unique, fun personality of this special house”.
Cromlix embraces a reimagined style that’s colourful, bold, unfussy, joyful and naturally uplifting; giving you the opportunity to enjoy an effortless take on the quintessential country house experience that can happen when elegance is undone. Alive with verdant greenery and botanical flourishes, contemporary art and imaginative moments, guests can unwind, be themselves and enjoy a warm and welcoming stay.
As well as the interiors, our brand identity is also currently being updated. For starters, you’ll notice a new logo; it was inspired by the Virginia Creeper which adorns our turret façade. It’s that same vibrancy and unbridled elegance that we wanted to inject into every corner of this business moving forward.
We very much look forward to welcoming both our returning and new guests!
Each of the 10 bedrooms, 5 suites and one-bedroom gate lodge has their own individual design and character. Light spills into the rooms, which are all subtly decorated and enjoy splendid views over the manicured grounds or tennis courts and surrounding countryside.
Dining at Cromlix is a culinary experience that need not be confined to the dining room. There are lots of luxurious spots within the hotel that can accommodate more intimate, private dining.
