Beautiful and restful. Staff was gracious. Restaurant was truly excellent. A bit hard to find and a closed bridge (under repair) made it even more difficult.

Beautiful property and house. Very cozy. I wasn’t aware of a 25 GPB tour credit. This may be because we had a brief stay and didn’t do any activities.

The best hotel we have ever stayed in. Cromlix is situated in a lovely setting, each room in the house has been tastefully decorated and dressed. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming and put you at ease from the very beginning. The food options are a step above for evening dining and at breakfast. Could not fault it a superb stay that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

A terrifically beautiful hotel. Great decor and wonderful rooms. We had a great stay that was marred slightly by one dinner and one breakfast that disappointed. Some wonderful staff members, notably Sarah and Anais.

Amazing Hotel, comfortable, friendly and spotless.

Delightful hotel, right from the warm welcome, to every interaction. A beautiful room, that was spotless and really comfortable, a lovely afternoon tea and a delicious evening meal. I think this might be the best hotel we have ever stayed in.

Oltre l'eccellenza

Non ci sono aggettivi che possano descrivere la qualità di esperienza che ho vissuto a Cromlix. Ho trascorso 2 giorni che non dimenticherò mai! Tutto e tutti sono stati al di sopra dell'eccellenza. Sono profondamente grata ad ogni singolo membro dello staff che mi ha seguita durante il mio soggiorno.

This is a beautiful and peaceful property. After a long day of travel and the desire to delay the more busy Edinburgh, this was the perfect place to relax and rest and renew before continuing on with our travels in Scotland. The property is perfectly maintained, the staff is excellent and every detail has been thought through with care. We would have loved to stay a second night.

Excellent stay from start to finish, and made to feel very special by all the Cromlix team. Food was exceptionally good too. Nice touch having the wellies we could use to go explore the lovely scenic grounds as well.

You won't be dissapointed

From the moment we entered the hotel we immediately felt special and taken care of. The sign in process was a joy, and the room did not dissapoint! The bed was divine, and the attention to detail in the room was impressive. We had a fabulous meal at the onsite restaurant, and it was reasonably priced as well. My wife and I cannot wait to go back.

Fabulous!

Spur of the moment visit for me (and my dog), the experience right from entering the grounds was lovely. Everyone was extremely welcoming, with a glass of fizz and the hotels signature scent (newly arrived candles) which smelled amazing I felt right at home. My room, Lavender Cottage, was spacious, very clean and had everything needed. Bed was very comfortable (firm mattress). Nice selection of teas along with family recipe shortbread. Great offerings for breakfast with a nice view of the garden. A quick visit of the grounds (which the dog enjoyed) and beautiful chapel and my stay was over. I will defiantly return.
