Cromlix

The rooms are beautiful and comfortable, offering a pleasant stay. The staff provides exceptional, attentive service. Guests praised the superb full Scottish breakfast and consistently good food quality.

Our first visit to Cromlix for Afternoon tea served in the Glasshouse If your looking for a traditional serving you will be disappointed this was on a different level. No finger sandwiches but instead a fabulous plate of savouries to start followed by the most exquisite scones with cream and red ruby jam,finally an array of sweet treats prepared by the pastry chef.Accompanying this spread a wonderful choice of teas and coffee which you are able to mix and match. Attentive staff add to the ambience of the glasshouse experience. We hope to return.

06JUN - Cromlix afternoon tea For those who don’t know, this is Andy Murray’s hotel. I was really looking forward to this, but I was ultimately disappointed. We’ve done a few afternoon teas, but given the price, it just didn’t stand up. Things didn’t get off to the best start, when we walked in and it wasn’t clear where to go. We literally stood looking around in front of three members of staff. They carried on chatting and then walked off. We went sat down in reception and someone at last came and took us to where we needed to go. The food itself was ok. The pistachio cakes were lovely, the coronation chicken brioche was a bit dry and had no currants in. The rest was good, but didn’t justify the price. Did the service make the difference? No. Our main waiter was ok, but seemed confused by the fact that we didn’t want one option (although we had already told them this in advance and they had confirmed this in a call the previous day). We also had multiple occasions where we were asked a question and the answer was then ignored, or I was. “Do you want more water?” “No thanks.” Waiter pours water. Sam was asked what her favourite was. I wasn’t. Left the feeeling that they didn’t really care. Overall, it was ok. If we’d have paid less, than it would have been easier to swallow. Get the basic service right and improve the coronation chicken brioche and it would have been better.
