Sir Andy Murray, despite retiring from professional tennis, continues to excel in the hospitality industry with his Cromlix hotel in Dunblane, Scotland. The hotel, owned by Andy and his wife Kim, holds sentimental value as it was the venue for their wedding reception in 2015. Recently renovated by Kim and interior designer Suzanne Garuda, Cromlix offers a luxurious and cozy atmosphere that sets it apart from typical five-star accommodations.
Featuring 16 rooms, including the Hyssop suite rumored to be Andy’s favorite, Cromlix boasts carefully curated interiors with bespoke fragrances and unique artworks from the Murray family collection. Guests can enjoy leisurely walks in the woodlands, relax by the estate’s loch, or engage in activities like tennis on Wimbledon-themed courts, croquet, and fishing. A wellness suite is also in the works.
The hotel’s Glasshouse restaurant serves locally sourced dishes, including produce from the on-site kitchen garden. Guests can savor a seven-course tasting menu for dinner and indulge in a delightful breakfast spread the next morning. Prices for a double room at Cromlix start from £410 on a bed-and-breakfast basis.
Cromlix’s charming chapel, the sole survivor of a fire in 1879, adds a touch of history to the estate and is a popular spot for elopers. The hotel caters to both relaxation and exploration, with opportunities to spot otters in nearby tributaries. With its blend of luxury, heritage, and leisure activities, Cromlix offers a memorable Scottish countryside getaway for travelers seeking a unique and refined experience.
