Luxurious, by nature. Cromlix is a Scottish 5 star country house hotel, owned by Kim and Andy Murray.
About us
When Scottish tennis player, Andy Murray acquired Cromlix, close to his hometown of Dunblane, it signalled not only a return to his roots but the chance to reinvent the glorious era of grand country house living. Following extensive refurbishment, the US Open, Olympic and Wimbledon champion has transformed the elegant Victorian Perthshire mansion into a luxury 15-bedroom and Gate Lodge. The hotel, which opened in Spring 2014, offers guests the chance to experience the sort of decadent lifestyle once enjoyed by the Lairds of Cromlix, redefined for the 21st century by sumptuous surroundings and impeccable yet discreet service. Situated in beautiful countryside, just three miles from Dunblane, Cromlix is set in 34 acres of secluded woodlands and garden grounds, with its own chapel and house loch. The hotel offers a restaurant with reasonable priced menus that focus on using seasonal locally sourced produce wherever possible, five suites and ten bedrooms, gate lodge accommodation, reception hall, two drawing rooms, conservatory, dining room, snooker and meeting rooms. Elegantly re-designed to showcase much of the house’s original heritage, Cromlix has been furnished with specially-sourced Scottish antique furniture. Commenting on his new venture, Andy said: “By re-establishing Cromlix as a leading luxury hotel at the heart of the Dunblane community we will be able to attract new visitors to the area, create a number of new jobs and focus on supporting other local businesses. I’m pleased to be able to give something back to the community I grew up in.”

As the end of what has been a very exciting year approaches, we are all getting into the festive spirit at Cromlix.

You can tune in to watch ‘Mary Berry’s Highland Christmas’ tonight at 9pm on BBC One to see how it turned out!! 👨🍳🎄 #cromlix #luxuryscotland #andymurray #maryberry #bbc #scottishhospitality Barry Makin MIH Emily Shields Neville Ablitt Lucy Mutch Darin Campbell Eilidh Leishman Katy Allen Rosemary Spenke
