PLANNING PERMISSION APPROVED FOR WELLNESS COTTAGE AT CROMLIX

Posted in News

Cromlix, the five-star country house hotel owned by Kim and Andy Murray, has received planning approval for the conversion of an existing building into a wellness cottage.

The building, which is located in the 34 acres of woodland surrounding the hotel, is currently used for storage, but will be repurposed in 2024 to convert it into a wellness space for guests to enjoy a range of spa treatments in the tranquillity of the forest.

Earlier this year Cromlix was completely refurbished in a three-month project to upgrade all bedrooms, bathrooms and common areas of the hotel including the restaurant and bar. The wellness cottage is part of further planned upgrades to the property.

Treatments in the wellness cottage will be in collaboration with Edinburgh based MODM who currently supply handmade vanity products used throughout the hotel and a range of other luxury beauty partners. Guests will be able to book individual or couples packages including facials, manicures and pedicures, and massages.

Cromlix has worked with architect Fergus Purdie and interior designers Garuda Design to put plans for the wellness cabin together.  The aesthetic and colour palette will be in keeping with Cromlix’s vision to ‘bring the beauty of the Scottish countryside in’ with plenty of botanical colours and accents, soft lighting and luxurious fabrics and textiles.

General Manager Barry Makin said: “Wellness is an increasingly important trend in the travel industry. While we are already lucky to have plenty to offer in that space, from walks in the grounds to flower arranging using blooms from the kitchen garden to pickleball, we feel that the wellness cottage is an important part of the jigsaw. We are excited to be able to add this next year as part of our continued plans to extend our excellent guest experience here at Cromlix”.

The wellness cottage is planned to open in Autumn 2024.
