Fabulous

Review of Cromlix
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 18 Nov 2017
Third visit and this establishment continues to impress.
Property is set in stunning quiet countryside and hotel itself is a very impressive building.
Rooms are sumptuous to say the least. Bathrooms have the WOW factor. Bathrobes, linen and toiletries are top quality.
Staff are professional at all times, helpful and friendly.
Breakfast is truly delicious. This is a must stay again for us.
Well done to management.

A special occasion warrants a special hotel and Cromlix didn’t disappoint. Check in was seamless but personal. Our room was warm and comfortable with a lovely view with a huge luxurious bathroom. Dinner Chez Roux also lived up to expectations in a modern extension with plenty of atmosphere. Afterwards there was only the dilemma of which lounge and roaring log fire to choose. At the end of our stay we felt thoroughly spoiled- such a peaceful setting and such a warm welcome. Can’t wait to go back!

We stayed for one night and found it one of the nicest and most relaxing hotels we have stayed at in Scotland. From the moment we arrived, we were waited on hand and foot by wonderful, friendly staff. They all seemed to really enjoy their roles.

We had a large double room (Connery), which was incredibly spacious and almost felt like a mini suite. It was exceptionally clean and well presented. Lots of lovely little details, like a good range of reading materials, complimentary show cleaning service, brolly should you want a walk in inclement weather...it was spotlessly clean and the bathroom had an excellent shower and big bath. Evening turn down service was a nice touch. Other nice touches were that the hotel could organise and pack picnics for you, there were rods available if you fancied fishing on the trout pond...

We had booked into Chez Roux and did really enjoy the food, and the waiting staff were extremely attentive. The menu was good and the canapes served in the bar before hand were really delicious. The only problem with the restaurant was that it lacked ambience. It is a very modern and stark addition to the old building, and with the kitchen incorporated into the dining room, it did feel a bit like a work canteen.

The over areas of the hotel are fabulous, with so many places to choose from to sit down and relax. One thing which would be nice would be some books or magazines in the public areas. There is also a gorgeous whisky tasting room...felt about minus 2 in there, so possibly best to enjoy in summer.

We chose to have breakfast in our room, which was delicious. Much nicer to relax with the morning paper, news and a lovely view over the grounds. Even without a suite there was ample space to sit and eat.

All in all we loved it and would love to go back for a tranquil break.

Dear Townheadhaze, thank you for taking the time for writing such an in-depth review or your recent relaxing stay with us with Cromlix and Chez Roux and for sharing it with the Trip Advisor community. I am thrilled to read that you thoroughly enjoyed your stay with us! Our team work extremely hard to ensure our guests feel at home from the moment they walk in the door, so I am thrilled that they done themselves proud- I will be sure to pass on your kind comments to them. The Connery room is beautiful with the most breath-taking views, I’m glad you were able to take advantage of the room and have breakfast looking over the gardens. I am disappointed to read that our restaurant was not to your taste, it certainly is a contrast to the rest of the house. However, I am pleased that is did not affect your stay and you still made fantastic memories. We are all looking forward to welcoming you back to the house again in the future.
Warm Regards,
Graeme Green

Another fantastic evening meal, thank you! Our sons booked us in for an evening meal to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. A lovely warm welcome was given on arrival, with congratulations offered which was a nice touch. Delicious cocktail was served while we perused the menu and canapés arrived while we waited. Every dish was delicious but the soufflé was a definite favourite, again! Worth every calorie! We were brought a small cake with happy anniversary which again was a lovely thought, thank you. The staff are very professional yet still friendly. Our fourth visit and it still feels magical, we will be back and will continue to recommend.

We visited only the public areas, the chapel and the Roux restaurant - so can’t comment on the rooms or breakfast, but from what we saw and experienced, we WILL be back to stay for an overnight or two.
Such a warm welcome from the staff was backed-up by a warm and glowing fireside seat to make our choices for lunch - a great start.
Lunch itself was a first-class dining experience.
Choice, presentation, flavour, service and (I think) value for money were beyond our expectations. A quick tour of the public areas of the hotel, including the chapel was more proof of why we need to spend more time at Cromlix.
Very highly recommended.

We visited here for lunch on 5th Nov. I was given a 3 course lunch voucher for my big birthday in June and kept it to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

We received a lovey welcome and were shown through to the bar where we ordered some pre-lunch drinks with some small tasty bites compliments of the chef.

Our lunch was served in the Chez Roux restaurant and from the set menu. It was beautiful and having the chefs cooking area within the restaurant made it interesting to see the foods being prepared and served. The staff were very attentive without being intrusive and, when we retired to the bar area for tea, we were served some petit fours and a lovely touch of two bite size cakes with ‘happy anniversary’ written in chocolate - a lovely touch.
I would definitely recommend and we will return.

The decor is lovely and it was relatively busy. Nice to see that the prices were realistic and not totally over the top for both the food and drinks.

If you haven’t been, I’d say it was better value than the Dormie House at Gleneagles and the staff more attentive.
