This Victorian Mansion dates back to 1874 and nestles into an estate of some 2,000 acres, a patchwork of woodland, lochs, rivers and moorland. As a working estate, shooting and fishing is on offer – there are three trout lochs and salmon fishing in season – as well as endless opportunities to explore this rich Scottish country paradise.
As for the hotel itself, as you enter you are immediately enveloped by the atmosphere in the main hall created by the fireplace, paneled walls and inviting sofas. The ambiance is of a country home more than a hotel and the friendly attentive house-staff ensure that you are able to relax and indulge in the hospitality afforded to each and every guest.
The house incorporates an enchanting and intimate little private chapel, ideal for small private weddings or couples wishing the perfect location in which to retake their vows.
Dining can be elegant or intimate or both! There are two separate dining rooms of contrasting atmosphere. The cuisine is based around fresh local produce; breads and pastries are baked on location; there is a superb wine list and, as you would expect, a spectacular selection of malts – your nightcap can be taken in the library beside a roaring fire, sunk into a deep leather armchair. Perfect.
Two boardrooms make Cromlix the perfect retreat for small, special corporate events, both ideal for meetings, private dining or functions such as whisky tasting. Rooms and suites are beautifully furnished with period antiques and offer real comfort and luxury. The firelit gleam of polished wood, crystal and brass will be your lasting memory of this special place.
Cromlix is the perfect location for guests wishing to combine the local golf of Gleneagles and Blairgowrie with the intimacy of a Scottish home. From this central base, golfers can also contemplate a mix of courses during your stay that takes in both East and West coasts. Why not?
