The Crossing is a lovely hotel in the town of Kingussie. our room was amazing! It had two separate bedrooms and the bathroom, was well equipped with coffee and tea and home-made biscuits. The beds are so comfortable and the decor high-quality. The bathroom was beautiful and had a shower over the bath for those who may have mobility issues. We walked into the village for dinner and everyone was very friendly. I would highly recommend this hotel. PS: the last photo is a pic of the village, not the hotel

I’ve never slept in a more comfortable bed. Everything was spotless, the amenities were great, and the owners were incredibly kind and welcoming. There‘s also a supermarked and a really good fish&chip shop right down the road. I can’t recommend staying here enough.

The hotel room was modern and extremely clean, beautiful decoration and fully equipped with anything you might need for a comfortable stay. We first arrived for one night and ended up staying 3 instead. At the ground floor there is an excellent restaurant and a great pub that are open all week long. The staff was incredibly helpful, friendly, and welcoming. The location allows for plenty of fee parking options, and it was near all the best spots around. Definitely recommended!

A beautiful small hotel in which you have filling like you've stepped back into a beautiful past. Some people might not like it, but it's fantastic when you hear the creaking of the floors, as if you've stepped back into the 19th century, classic Scottish breakfast...beautiful. We took dinner in hotels pub. We had dinner at the hotel pub which serves excellent local food. A truly wonderful experience.

A wonderful place with wonderful hosts. The location and the building are certainly something special. The bed was comfortable with lovely sheets, and in the morning you eat in the big farm style kitchen with Susan cooking up a fantastic breakfast next to you. Unfortunately we arrived late and could not enjoy the evening meal, but I will certainly aim for it next time.

I had imagined Aviemore to be an old town like Pitlochry and Dunkeld, but in fact all the buildings in the Main Street seem to be fairly new, apart from the railway station. It has lots of shops selling outdoor clothing, and is not very attractive architecturally.

We went to Ballater to be close to Balmoral Castle, where we went to an artisans market on the grounds. We were there in October, so opening of other parts of the castle were not available, due to royal residence use. I would return to this beautiful part of Scotland again if given the chance, to see more of the castle.

The countryside in autumn was spectacular. There are lots of local walks to suit different levels of fitness. The Spey is nearby so iconic itself and for the whisky distilleries along its banks. Interesting local shops. Fresh local produce. Nice folk. Close enough for trips to the Moray Coast and Cairngorms. Golf, fishing, garden nurseries all in easy reach.

Kingussie is ideal for people who want beautiful walks or a bit of climbing or cycling. There’s a fantastic bike shop called Bothy Bikes where you can hire e- bikes to explore the area.

It is well located in relation to forest walks and other outdoor activities. For any significant shopping you needs to travel nearby Aviemore, 4.5 miles away.

Nestled amongst the mountains with paths and tracks leading all over what’s not to like? Sadly, the general facilities here have gone. No shop for example. One place did have a sign out for coffee, but there could be an opportunity here for someone. Worth climbing up the Cateran Trail heading south to get stunning views looking down on the village. Also visit the stone circle, old bridge and the church. Just soak up the atmosphere!
