This is a really difficult review to write. Cromlix is lovely, the food is absolutely incredible (except the eggs Benedict, possibly the worst I’ve ever eaten), the decor is stunning, the staff are great and the gardens beautiful. But…it’s boring. I actually feel bad saying it, but it is boring. It needs a pool, or a gym, or a spa, or a second bar, or a second restaurant, just some variety. Without these it’s a one night kinda place. It’s hard to compare to similarly priced hotels such as Gleneagles as they’re completely different, but it’s also difficult not to and on this occasion Gleneagles wins hands down on price. Almost every order we made, either at the bar or in the restaurant something seemed to go missing or be wrong. The renovations are great but the best way I can describe it is that they haven’t yet found the ‘flow’ of the hotel. As I mentioned at the start, it’s a hard one. It’s truly lovely but we wouldn’t rush back.
