One outdoor court, painted in Wimbledon's green and purple. It is the smallest tennis offering in this collection and it is here because of whose court it is. It came through the 2026 redevelopment intact. The hotel's activities page lists tuition on the court, so ask the team what is available…
The wellness offering sits in the woodland beside the lochan. Guests book signature treatments, a sauna and a cold plunge. Yoga mats can be unrolled outdoors or in the room, and mindfulness cards are provided for walks through the grounds.
Cradle is the fine-dining room, with space for 16 guests and a menu built on the estate and Scottish producers under Executive Head Chef James Mearing. The Garden Room is the informal counterpart, seating up to 65 behind floor-to-ceiling windows that face the front lawn.

Dunblane railway station is a 10-minute taxi ride away, with services on the East and West Coast main lines. The hotel can arrange transfers through reception.
