Our Inspector's view

Enjoying a location close to the castle and historic town, this atmospheric Victorian hotel was previously a school. Public rooms have been converted from the original classrooms and retain many interesting features including high vaulted ceilings. Bedrooms are more modern in style and comfortably equipped. Scholars Restaurant serves traditional and international dishes, and the Headmaster's Study is the ideal venue for enjoying a drink.

Cromlix and Chez Roux

AA Rosette Award

Cromlix once belonged to the family of former Prime Minister Antony Eden, but the locals are rightfully rather prouder of the current owner, who plays a bit of tennis to quite a high level. Sir Andy Murray has chosen well and invested wisely, and...
Glenskirlie House & Castle

AA Rosette Award

A castle for the 21st century, Glenskirlie is a bright white pile, kitted out with a conical-roofed turret here, a little step-gabling there. The restaurant has a good ambience and a friendly and brisk service from the staff.
Cross Keys Hotel

The 300-year-old Cross Keys stands on Kippen’s Main Street and offers seasonally changing menus and a good pint of cask ale. The pub's welcoming interior, warmed by three log fires, is perfect for resting your feet after a walk in nearby Burnside...
