Hotel chain aims to help stranded couples

THE owners of a five-star hotel that closed suddenly have called in another hotel chain to help out brides let down just weeks before their weddings.

Online travel site TripAdvisor has been inundated with complaints after the Cromlix House Hotel in Dunblane shut without any explanation.

However, it has emerged that owner Ian Grier has drafted in Halo Hotels, which runs two hotels in Bridge of Allan, to try to rearrange weddings booked for the next few months.

Halo managing director Anne Peters said she was doing everything she could to help couples.
