The Cromlix Hotel in Scotland has announced its plans to transform a dilapidated walled garden and glass on the property’s estate into a conference and wedding hall, in addition to new bedrooms.
The new development will feature 27 additional bedrooms, each with a private garden, spa treatment rooms, a conference and events area for up to 200 people and a gym designed by Andy Murray. A new Afternoon Tea Room overlooking the Cromlix lawn will also be built in order to meet increased demands demand.
Inverlochy Castle Management International, which manages the hotel on behalf of the Murrays, expects to create 40 new jobs in the local area.
Graeme Green, general manager at Cromlix, said: “Since we re-opened in spring 2014 Cromlix has been a real success story, with both the hotel and restaurant far exceeding expectations and often operating at capacity.
“We are now hoping to build on this success by extending the existing buildings to create additional hotel bedrooms, banqueting facilities as well as growing the team.”
He added: “We receive hundreds of calls from event organisers, couples hoping to get married at Cromlix and, sadly, we have to turn most away. This new development means we can meet this demand while continuing to welcome hotel and restaurant guests all year round.”
