‘I found the perfect Traitors-style getaway at Andy Murray’s stunning Scotland hotel’

Sir Andy Murray may have had officially retired from playing professional tennis but he’s still serving up an ace in the hospitality business, as I discovered when I visited Cromlix hotel in his hometown of Dunblane in Scotland – and if watching BBC hit TV show The Traitors has got you desperate to stay in a Scottish country house, it doesn't get much better than this one.

Andy and his wife Kim bought Cromlix back in 2013, having held a special place in the tennis champ’s heart throughout his life – it’s even where the couple held their wedding reception in 2015.This grand country house, which dates back to the 1870s, has been recently refurbished, with Kim enlisting the interior designer that she used for their family home in Surrey, Suzanne Garuda, to transform the hotel into a stylish, world-class getaway – and it’s truly one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at.

The welcoming, homely feel (something that’s often lacking in posh hotels) is evident as soon as you step through the grand entrance and are handed a glass of fizz like an old friend, and with just 16 rooms (15 in the main house and one lodge), it never feels busy or crowded.

Inside it’s an interior lover’s dream, with every corner and piece of furniture thoughtfully curated, from Cromlix’s own bespoke fragrance that scents the rooms to the many works of art on the walls throughout the building, several of which are from the Murrays’ personal collection.
