Cromlix House, Victorian country house hotel in Stirling, Scotland.
Cromlix House is a Victorian country hotel in the heart of Scotland, set within 34 acres (13,7 ha) of parkland with woods, gardens, and mineral springs. The building holds 15 rooms made up of bedrooms and suites, along with a separate Gate Lodge.
The manor was built in 1874 and rebuilt six years later for Arthur Hay-Drummond. King Edward VII stayed here in September 1908 during his journey through Scotland.
The name comes from the Hay-Drummond family, who ran a noble country estate here for generations. Today guests dine in the restaurant, walk through the well-kept gardens, or fish at the four lochs that belong to the property.
The estate sits 36 miles (58 km) from Glasgow and 48 miles (77 km) from Edinburgh, near the village of Kinbuck. Visitors can walk through the gardens, fish at the lochs, or visit the chapel that belongs to the hotel grounds.
Tennis player Andy Murray bought the property in 2013 for 1,8 million pounds and turned it into a luxury hotel. The Cromlix Chapel, a small Episcopalian church from 1874, also stands on the grounds and displays carved work by Alexander MacDonald.
