The Cross at Kingussie is a family run five star rated “restaurant with rooms” located in the cheerful village of Kingussie within the stunning Cairngorm National Park, surrounded by mountains, rivers and lochs.
Situated in four acres of riverside grounds - with an abundance of native trees, flowers and wildlife – The Cross combines quality with simplicity and good food with a warm welcome.
Built as a water powered tweed mill in the late 1800s The Cross maintains the character and some of the original features of the mill.
Champagne is served on the terrace in the summer – and drams in a cosy lounge in winter. Dinners are served by an open fire in the stone walled and wood beamed restaurant. Menus feature carefully prepared fresh and seasonal produce and the wine list is one of the best in the UK.
There are two comfortable lounges in which to relax and unwind – with games and books aplenty – and a plethora of local information and suggestions for walks and excursions.
There are eight comfortable bedrooms, all with king, twin or canopied beds and spacious en-suite bathrooms including some with separate showers. Each room has controllable heating – and in half you can nod off to the sound of the bubbling river below.
Breakfasts include freshly squeezed juice, baked croissants and hot dishes such as kedgeree, local estate venison sauasges, or local black pudding with Scottish “pancetta” and organic highland eggs .
The Good Food Guide has rated The Cross as one of the six best places to eat in the Scottish Highlands. Recommended in all other independent guidebooks, including Michelin, The Good Hotel Guide, Scotland the Best, Rough Guide, Lonely Planet, and Fromers.
Dinner, accommodation and breakfast from £80, dinner from only £39.00 for 3 courses.
The Cross is normally open Tuesday to Saturday each week, from February until just before Christmas - and for three nights at New Year.
