Andy Murray and Wife Kim have major plans for Cromlix HouseCredit: Free..
Sir Andy Murray and his wife, Kim, are set to expand their luxury hotel, Cromlix, near Dunblane, Scotland. The couple has received approval to enhance the property’s facilities, aiming to elevate guest experiences and accommodate increasing demand.
Expansion Details:
New Restaurant: The existing Glasshouse restaurant will be transformed into an 80-seat dining area featuring expansive glass windows and a new terrace overlooking the hotel’s lawns. The current Glasshouse space will be repurposed for afternoon teas and private events.
Additional Accommodations: Plans include adding three new ground-floor bedrooms and converting the existing kitchen into an accessible suite, increasing the total room count from 15 to 19. An additional bedroom will also be added to the first floor.
Enhanced Facilities: The expansion will introduce a staff canteen, new restroom facilities, electric vehicle charging stations, and a cycle shelter.
These developments follow a comprehensive refurbishment completed in 2023, led by Kim Murray in collaboration with interior designer Suzanne Garuda. The renovation updated all bedrooms, bathrooms, and common areas, infusing the hotel with bold colors and prints that reflect the surrounding Scottish countryside.
Cromlix holds personal significance for the Murrays, having hosted family events, including their wedding reception in 2015. Since acquiring the property in 2013 for nearly £2 million, the couple has been dedicated to its development, with Kim describing the hotel as “another member of the family.”
The hotel has garnered acclaim, recently being named Scotland’s best hotel at the AA Hospitality Awards. The expansion aims to meet growing demand, particularly for the hotel’s popular afternoon teas, which have seen a surge in popularity, partly due to social media trends.
With the latest planning approvals, the Murrays have three years to complete the expansion, further solidifying Cromlix’s status as a premier destination in Scotland’s hosp
itality landscape.
