Cromlix Hotel | Best places to stay in the Scottish Highlands
"Tennis superstar Andy Murray has seen his share of swish hotels during his career – and in 2014 decided to open his own. Just outside his home town of Dunblane in the Highlands. Cromlix is a handsome, turreted Victorian mansion surrounded by 34 acres of carefully tended grounds – and a tennis court, of course. Purple and green (Wimbledon’s colours), it’s the only reference to its famous owner. Inside it’s sumptuous Highland house-living, with a grand games room and whisky snug, stags heads on the walls, wood-paneling, fine antiques and opulent fabrics. There are 15 old-school-traditional bedrooms and suites (named after famous Scots such as Robert the Bruce) and a strikingly contemporary Chez Roux restaurant. This is one for those wanting a taste of a high-end Highland house-party. " - Lucy Gillmore
