Harden's says
Country-house hotel owned by Andy and Kim Murray since 2013 and thoroughly refurbished, with a new 'fine-dining' restaurant scheduled to replace the Glasshouse in early 2026, under chef James Mearing. Critic Chitra Ramaswamy was highly impressed by his cooking in her summer 2025 review for The Times.
Harden's survey result
Summary
“Kim & Andy Murray’s culinary adventure is now maturing into a very good country house hotel” indeed – the tennis ace and his wife having bought the property, a Victorian mansion set in secluded countryside near Dunblane, in 2013 (you can take tennis lessons there, but not, alas, from the maestro), and there’s an on-site chapel where his brother Jamie also married. As we went to press, change was afoot: following the recent appointment of James Mearing, replacing longtime chef Darin Campbell, the hotel was set to close in early 2026 as operations shift to creating a new extension-based restaurant (launching May 2026), after which time the current Glasshouse dining room will revert to serving afternoon teas. Here’s hoping the new setting adds to what is already a “stunning location”, and backdrop this year to some “first-class cooking” of local produce – but then again “Cromlix usually gets it right”.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
