Sir Andy Murray’s Cromlix hotel in Dunblane has secured planning approval for the conversion of an existing building into a wellness cottage.
It comes after Andy and his wife Kim secured planning permission to build nine woodland cabins in the hotel's grounds in August despite opposition from wildlife campaigners.
The additional project will convert a building currently used for storage into a wellness space set in 34 acres of woodland.
The wellness cottage is due to be completed in autumn 2024 and will offer spa treatments in collaboration with the Edinburgh-based, vegan skincare brand MODM.
Architect Fergus Purdie and interior designers Garuda Design are working with Cromlix to create a space filled with botanical accents, soft lighting and luxurious fabrics.
Barry Makin, general manager of the Cromlix, 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 Cromlix hotel was bought by Andy and Kim Murray in 2013. It reopened in March this year after a three-month refurbishment to upgrade the bedrooms, bathrooms and communal areas, including the restaurant and bar.
