The Cross At Kingussie

Overview

Dinner is the draw here, but guests can enjoy a comfortable overnight stay, short break, or longer holiday in one of eight modern en-suite bedrooms. Bedrooms come with a subtle Scottish theme - all with en-suite bathrooms - and in half you can nod off to the sound of the bubbling river below. For extra relaxation there are two lounges and an outside terrace.

A converted Victorian tweed mill, The Cross combines quality with simplicity and good food with a warm welcome. AA Three Rosette award winning dinners are served in contemporary surroundings and feature carefully prepared fresh, local, and seasonal produce. Chefs Becca Henderson and David Youngs' deceptively straightforward style of cooking is underpinned by prime Scottish meats, local game, and the freshest of north and west coast seafood. The highly acclaimed wine list has won many awards for its quirky, interesting and good value selection and has been judged the best in Scotland by the AA and best in the UK for a small restaurant in the Louis Roederer awards.

The Cross is highly recommended by Michelin, the Good Food Guide ("pure, natural-born enchantment") and the AA ("it's hard to fault The Cross"). The Good Hotel Guide describes the service as "welcoming and professional", and Peter Irvine's Scotland the Best rates the restaurant as "superb".

Of the restaurant The Sunday Herald's Joanna Blythman said "If you were thinking of uncorking a memorable bottle to go with a memorable meal, this is the place to do it" and Richard Bath wrote in The Scotsman, "Good, honest food produced by someone sprinkled with more than a little culinary stardust.".

The Cross is set in four acres of riverside grounds that abound in wildlife, is perfectly located for outdoor, nature, walking or touring holidays, is within easy reach of Scotland's main airports, and offers a direct rail service from London into Kingussie.
