Cromlicks Hotel is a historic Victorian manor hotel located near Dunblan, Stirlingshire, Scotland. Originally built in 1874, it was acquired in 2013 by local-born tennis star Andy Murray and his wife Kim, partly due to the hotel's special significance to their family. The hotel reopened in 2014. Nestled within 34 acres of private woodland and gardens, the hotel enjoys an exceptionally tranquil setting. Designed by owner Kim Murray, the hotel underwent a complete renovation in 2023, aiming to create an atmosphere of "unrestrained elegance" and relaxed, home-like luxury. The interior design is filled with natural colors and botanical elements, with all bedrooms named after flowers that grow on the manor. The hotel offers over ten guest rooms and suites, ranging from superior suites and deluxe suites with separate living rooms to distinctive tower suites and family-friendly laurel boulevards, catering to diverse needs. Superior Suite: Enjoy a relaxing stay in our superior suites, leaving your worries behind. These suites feature stunningly spacious bathrooms and soothing courtyard views. Tower Suites: Taking the luxury experience to a dizzying height. These opulent spaces feature spacious bedrooms overlooking the estate and separate living rooms and bathrooms. Deluxe Suites: For the ultimate in elegant retreat, choose a Deluxe Suite. Each suite boasts an exquisite separate living room and bathroom. The Tulip Suite even features a luxurious four-poster bed! Connecting Suites: Our Connecting Suites offer a truly special experience – as if you had your own private wing. We can connect two Deluxe Suites into one spacious area, or link three suites together to create the ultimate retreat. Laurelwood Concierge: Enjoy a tranquil corner within the estate. This one-bedroom concierge is ideal for families or those needing more space. The hotel's central dining area is the "Glass House" restaurant, where the chef insists on using local, seasonal ingredients, some sourced from the hotel's kitchen garden or wild-picked. The hotel offers a wealth of facilities, including tennis courts, a billiards room, gardens, a chapel, and can arrange signature activities such as archery and falconry. The hotel was awarded the Thistle Award for "Best Hotel Experience in Scotland 2023" for its exceptional service and experiences. In short, Cromlicks seamlessly blends the historical charm of Victorian architecture with modern comforts, a nature-integrated lifestyle, and attentive personalized service, offering guests a top-tier destination to escape the hustle and bustle and experience authentic Scottish countryside luxury and tranquility. Construction has begun on a 60-seat restaurant, expected to open in May 2026. Located next to the main lawn, overlooking the manor and its gardens, the restaurant will offer culinary delights prepared with premium local ingredients, much of which will be sourced from the hotel's own kitchen garden, all set against the backdrop of the beautiful Scottish countryside. Cromlicks will also feature a small, intimate fine dining restaurant, three suites, and a wellness cottage.

#hellohalloween Dunblane Cathedral is one of those places that feels instantly peaceful the moment you walk in. Surrounded by trees and tucked just off the High Street, it’s a stunning mix of medieval stonework and quiet beauty. The building dates back to the 12th century, and inside you can still see centuries of craftsmanship in the carved stone arches, stained-glass windows, and intricate wooden ceiling. We took our time wandering through, reading the plaques and soaking up the calm atmosphere. Even for those who aren’t especially into architecture, it’s hard not to be moved by how serene and beautifully preserved it is. The small graveyard and gardens around the cathedral are just as lovely — especially on a sunny day when the light hits the old stone. Dunblane itself is a charming little town, and the cathedral is easily its most memorable landmark — peaceful, powerful, and well worth a visit. #dunblane #scotland
