CROMLIX HOTEL
Cromlix is owned by Kim and Andy Murray. Nestled in the scenic Scottish countryside just three miles from Dunblane, Cromlix is located in 34 acres of secluded woodlands and landscaped garden grounds with its own chapel, loch and of course, tennis courts. The hotel offers 15 bedrooms plus a Gateside Lodge, The Glasshouse Restaurant, Bar and several gorgeous private dining & meeting rooms.
We were delighted to play our part in their recent renovation by making some beautiful etched brass key fobs as a finishing touch. All of the rooms at Cromlix are named after Scottish flowers, so the fobs have the name etched on one side and a silhouette of the plant on the other.
