The Cross Kingussie – Summer Offers to celebrate Top Award

The AA has also confirmed that they have awarded The Cross Three Rosettes for the quality of cooking, one of only around twenty restaurants in Scotland to achieve such an accolade.

 

A delighted David Young, who runs The Cross with his wife Katie, said “We’re pleased for all of the team here that their efforts are recognised in this way. It’s good for The Cross, it keeps Kingussie on the culinary map, and it’s a boost for the area”. He added, “The Scottish highlands are fast losing their reputation for poor standards, surly service and dire food and whilst visitors to the region may still have to travel a distance to find good places in which to stay and eat the choice and range has never been better.”

 

“Here at The Cross we work very hard to offer our guests the very best local and Scottish produce we can source, served in a way that has been described by independent guidebooks as “deceptively simple” and we’re thrilled that the AA have chosen to highlight this type of approach with a three Rosette award.”

 

Kingussie is an ideal base from where to explore the treasures and activities of the National Park and beyond, yet its position in the centre of the highlands means that The Cross is always within easy reach of every Scottish city, by car or train.

 

To mark the announcement of these awards The Cross has launched two special offers for this summer.

If you are looking for cheap affordable accommodation in the Aviemore and Cairngorms Area, then there is plenty on offer in the shape of Bunkhouses and Hostels.    Here in the Cairngorms National Park there are many great hostels to stay in.  In the Aviemore and Cairngorms area you have hostels in Newtonmore, Kingussie, Kincraig , Aviemore itself, Glenmore near Cairngorm Mountain, Boat of Garten, Carr Bridge, Nethy Bridge and Grantown on Spey.  This is perfect for a quick getaway to do some walking, mountain biking and exploring of the Aviemore area.
