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 1800’s at a time when the village was being developed by the local laird, 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. Fabulous dinners are served by the flicker of 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 Scotland.

There are eight stylish 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 fresh squeezed juice, baked croissants and hot dishes such as kedgeree or local black pudding with Scottish “pancetta”.

Dinner, accommodation and breakfast from £80 per person.

Open February until just before Christmas
