Cromlix

I have been to Cromlix over the last few years and enjoyed afternoon tea, however after visiting on 4/4/25 I have felt let down by the normally high standards. What has made this worse is that I emailed last week as I didn’t want to make a fuss whilst there as it was busy and although I was told it would be passed to the restaurant manager to contact me I’m still waiting on a reply 4 days later. The afternoon tea menu has just recently changed, the savouries on my last visit in December were exceptional, flavours fantastic and great variety however this time from 6 down to 5 and not the usual flare. What disappointed me more though was the sweet selection this is always a favourite as they are always intricate, yet one of the cakes were 2 tiny madeleines, it just lacked the Cromlix flare, now I don’t know why but having seen a recent post of their new menu by another guest the madeleines were missing was it maybe an off day? As said previously I’ve been lucky enough to visit on a number of occasions for afternoon tea and each time it’s been amazing but I feel let down on the lack of response.

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.

Absolutely first class. Met by Sharon in reception which smelt incredible. Complimentary welcome Prosecco which we enjoyed by the fire. Cases taken away whilst we were taken to Glasshouse for the best afternoon tea I’ve ever had. Did not disappoint. When we were shown to our rooms cases were there for us. We were in Lavender and friends in Viola. Both different but both gorgeous. Attention to detail throughout the hotel is superb. 100% recommended.

Fantastic Hotel beautiful decorated and the staff couldn't do enough for you, it all felt very special. Meals were delicious and plenty to choose from. I would highly recommend this hotel and can't wait to go back. The surrounding area is superb for walking.

Enjoyed afternoon tea for 4 here yesterday. Delicious food, gorgeous surroundings, staff smiling and helpful throughout. A real country house experience but with a friendly yet sophisticated vibe so often missing in Scottish hotels and restaurants. We chose Cromlix because I have always been an avid Andy fan but will go back - worth every penny.

This is such a beautiful, unique and friendly hotel. We stayed for two nights to celebrate our anniversary and we could not have had a better time and were really well looked after. This is good old fashioned, warm, luxurious and professional hospitality at its very, very best.
