Inside Andy Murray’s Traitors-style Scottish hotel with tennis court and art collection

The stylish, world-class hotel Cromlix, built in 1870 by Sir Andy Murray and his wife Kim, is a must-see for fans of the Traitors.

It may be that Sir Andy Murray has retired from professional tennis, but he still excels in the hospitality industry, as I discovered when I visited his Cromlix hotel in Dunblane, Scotland. If watching the new series of BBC’s The Traitors has you looking for the ideal Scottish countryside getaway, it doesn’t get much better than that.

The tennis star’s father Jamie also got married here, and Andy and his wife Kim bought Cromlix in 2013. It’s where the couple held their wedding reception in 2015 and where his brother Jamie has always been deeply cherished.

This magnificent country home, which dates back to the 1870s, has recently undergone a major renovation, with Kim enlisting Suzanne Garuda, the interior designer who worked on their Surrey family home, as the architect. It is unquestionably one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in.

When you walk through the grand entrance and are greeted with a glass of bubbly like an old friend, the warm, homely atmosphere is immediately apparent, something that sometimes doesn’t exist in five-star hotels. It never feels crowded or busy with only 16 rooms, including one lodge and the main house (15).

Every detail in the interior of the property is meticulously chosen, from the bespoke fragrance that permeates the rooms to the numerous works of art that adorn the walls, many of which are from the Murrays’ personal collection, according to OK!.

The estate’s own loch, red squirrel-inhabited woodlands, inviting guests to relax in the plush sofas and armchairs, or to have a drink in one of the billiard rooms, complete with wood-panelled ceiling, vibrant floral wallpaper, and enticing jars of sweets, make it feel like home.

The spacious three-room Hyssop suite, which is rumored to be Andy’s favorite, is located in the house’s ivy-covered turret. Enjoy complimentary refreshments in your room, including buttery shortbread made from Granny Erskine’s secret recipe, amid stunning surroundings, vintage furniture, stunning decor, and more distinctive artwork.

What can I do at Cromlix?

As you might expect, Cromlix is known for its own courts, which are decorated in Wimbledon’s distinctive purple and green. Additionally, there are more leisurely activities on offer, including croquet, cornhole, archery, and fishing, and rumors of a soon-to-be-awaited wellness suite have been circulating.

There are small winding tributaries nearby where you might be able to spot otters if you’re interested in a little exploration.

Check out Cromlix’s very own chapel right next to the house. It’s the only section of the building that survived the devastating fire of 1879; it’s also steeped in history; it’s reportedly a favorite haunt for elopers these days.

The Cromlix restaurant

Locals who frequent the Glasshouse restaurant at Cromlix from lunch to dinner are a hit. The hotel’s small kitchen garden, which guests are welcome to explore, served as our evening meal, which included local produce, vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Dinner is served with a seven-course tasting menu.

The following morning’s breakfast was also delicious, serving up a la carte hot dogs, fresh pastries, and even a homemade Bloody Mary cocktail bar.

David Beckham sends direct message to Brooklyn in painful New Year post

In what appears to be an olive branch from the dad following the rumbling family feud, David Beckham has sent a direct message to his separated son Brooklyn.

In what appears to be his boldest olive branch to date amid their bleak family feud, Sir David Beckham has sent a direct message to son Brooklyn.

Dad David was feeling sentimental on New Year’s as he took to social media to gush over his love for his children as he said goodbye to 2025. Hours before midnight, David shared images of his wife Victoria and their children Romeo, Cruz and Harper. However, Brooklyn and his wife Nicola were noticeably missing from the initial family tribute.

The former football player referred to his family as “I love you all” alongside images of his sons Cruz and Romeo when they were younger. He said, “I’m so lucky to have my Amazimg family x,” [sic].

The emotional David then shared a photo of his and Brooklyn’s only sons, who were happier, wrapped around one another. The father’s emoji reads, “I love you all so much,” and the father adds, “I love you all so much.”

Brooklyn, who took drastic steps to leave the Beckham clan last year, was among the bold people who saw the smiling faces. The amateur chef decided to remove all of his family’s photos from his social media accounts so he wouldn’t ever hear or see them again after a year of denigrating them.

As David attempted to reconcile and remember the good times in a final New Year’s photo of his entire family, which was taken shortly after Harper was born, he continued to try to make peace and remember the good times. Another white heart emoji reads “I’m a very lucky Daddy.” Given that the three brothers are no longer speaking, the image was particularly poignant.

Five white heart emojis, including the youngest son Brooklyn, represent his wife and each of his children, and the phrase “You are my Life.” Following an emoji of two toasting Champagne flutes, David continued, “I Love you all, Dadddy x On to 2026.”

The heartbreaking feud between Brooklyn, his wife Nicola Peltz Beckham and the rest of the Beckham clan has been noticeably rumbling on since spring, as fans noticed Brooklyn was missing from a number of family occasions – including both parents birthdays – and failed to pay tribute to them on Instagram, despite usually doing so.

Brooklyn and Nicola have kept their vows without a single Beckham in sight, avoiding special family gatherings like Sir David’s eagerly awaited knighthood earlier this year. Brooklyn and Romeo and Cruz were later claimed by a source as the source of the conflict, but it eventually became clear that Romeo and Cruz were the ones who had blocked Brooklyn and Nicola.

In another sad turn in the lead up to Christmas, after a string of public olive branches from the Beckhams, Brooklyn blocked his parents David and Victoria as well as brother Cruz, on Instagram. Cruz revealed the sad turn of events as it was reported in the press that David and Victoria had been the ones to do the blocking.

Let’s get the facts right, Cruz wrote in a screenshot of the article. They both woke up blocked, just like I did. Fans’ criticism of Brooklyn and Nicola’s festive social media accounts exploded following the news.

Nicola and Brooklyn posted a joint share of snaps from their Christmas – which featured them wearing matching pyjamas – and wished their followers “a marry christmas and a happy new year filled with so much love, peace and happiness. However, fans were focused on the brutal move from the couple so close to Christmas. One follower wrote: “Brooklyn you can get lots of wife’s but only one mum… you have to member that. Heal each other with love, kindness, care & support.”

Another phrase was added, “Remember where you come from; you would be nothing without them.” disappointed . While a third wrote, “Why do you use the Beckham family name if you don’t want to deal with them?”

She continued, “Ahhh life, lemons, lemonade, and great memories that I might recall.”

‘Best TV show ever’ that Netflix viewers say is ‘better than Stranger Things’

The final episode of “Stranger Things” might have arrived very early on January 1, but if you’ve already binged it, there’s another TV show that viewers are currently a fan of.

People are now searching for a series that they think is actually better than the Hawkins story because Netflix fans are eager to find the next show, especially now that Stranger Things has come to an end.

Despite the highly-anticipated final season of Stranger Things hitting Netflix at 1am on January 1, many viewers who love to binge-watch are probably in need of something new for their watch list. Now over on Reddit, in the r/tvshow forum, which boasts 87,000 members, one person said Dark is well-worth a watch. The Netflix original, which landed on screens in 2017, ran for three seasons until 2020.

Four families from the fictional town of Winden, Germany, are the subjects of Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese’s science fiction.

In the wake of a child’s disappearance, the families investigate a multigenerational time travel conspiracy.

It has a sizable ensemble cast, led by Louis Hofmann. The Reddit user now thinks the television series is actually superior to the five-season runaway series Stranger Things.

The person wrote: “Is Dark worth a watch? I hear it’s better than Stranger Things.”

The post received nearly 1, 000 comments and 2,700 upvotes in the process. The best TV show ever, according to one critic.

“I don’t understand why the media constantly compares Stranger Things to. Beyond being sci-fi, they aren’t even remotely comparable.

Don’t worry if you think something is unclear because “everything is already in place for the three seasons was planned right away.”

Another commented, “You have to pay full attention when watching it otherwise you’ll be completely lost. It is better than Stranger Things.”

A third author acknowledged that they were unable to figure out how the writers managed to write this series so well with no plot holes. It’s a show that’s right in the middle. “So thorough”

Reviews claim that if you enjoyed Stranger Things, you’ll enjoy Dark on IMDb, which has an 8.7 out of 10 rating.

A web of curious characters, all of whom have ties to the town’s troubled history, whether or not they are aware, makes up the mystery-drama series’ intricate puzzle.

Rick Astley vows to get fit in 2026 as he gushes over ‘machine’ Gary Barlow’s regime

ExCLUSIVE: Rick Astley, a popular 1980s pop star, has revealed his 2026 New Year’s resolution, which includes a tour of the UK and abroad before turning 60.

Before his April tour, Rick Astley has pledged to get in shape in 2026 and is incorporating one particular pop icon as inspiration.

Never Gonna Give You Up singer Rick, who turns 60 in February 2026, has revealed his New Years resolution in an exclusive interview with the Mirror. When asked about his goals for 2026, the hit 1980s pop singer-songwriter revealed: “We’re touring in April and we’ve got a bunch of gigs throughout the summer actually – and abroad as well and everything. One of my things that I’m conscious of – just ’cause I’m the youngest of four kids – is I need to gett fitter than I am.”

Rick, who is the youngest of four siblings, revealed that his desire to get fitter is motivated by his upcoming tour, The Reflection Tour, as well as his family’s recent health issues, but he didn’t go into specifics. He stated, “I’m watching my brother John, who’s retired as well as my sister Jayne go through some things.” I’m the youngest, and we’re all complaining about physical things right now.

Meanwhile, Ricky revealed watching Take That star Gary Barlow’s “impressive” fitness routine and tour prep has also inspired him to step up his game.

The singer admitted ahead of the Nordoff and Robbins Carol Service earlier this month that, “I very frequently watch Gary Barlow – goddamn Gary Barlow – on his Instagram getting fit for a tour.

For the love of God, I’m like, “Gary, please calm down, please. he laughed, do you understand what I mean? Therefore, I believe that is essentially a New Year’s resolution. I need to get more active because I’m already fairly active, but I really need to step up.

When asked if Gary would inspire him to travel again in 2026 with Take That, Rick sighed and admitted, “I don’t know about that. Gary, he’s a machine.

The pop sensation then added: “One thing I’d say about him – because I opened for them on a tour some years ago in 2019. One of the things that I thought was amazing about all three of them [Gary, Mark Owen and Howard Donald] was how conscientious they were about the gigs.”

Rick continued, “I believe they’re doing it right now, Gary is doing it online and in other ways.” They perform at those venues.

They don’t like going, “Oops, give us the money, we’ll just roll out and play a few tunes,” they say. No, this tour has to be just as good or better than anything we’ve ever done before, every time. And I was kind of like, “Wow!” when I went and did that.

And I do know Gary a little, too, but I was kind of like, “This is really impressive,” this is not three guys just going, “Ok, whatever, we’ll be fine.” We’ll just let go of our arses, and all will be well. They put in a lot of effort. And I believe it comes from their supporters in turn.

They can’t half measure it, Rick said, and their gigs are “mayhem.” He then said, “I don’t dance routines that’s the other thing you see, but I’m not saying that’s rubbed off on me – and I’ve got a few years on them, by the way, I’m a little older than them.”

He made the joke that I occasionally swing my guitar and snoop around. However, I still need to improve my fitness.
