Room information
As one would expect in a property with the history of Cringletie House, all of the rooms have their own individual character and their own unique charm.

However, Cringletie House prides itself on exceeding expectations, and it is in the details that the hotel’s quality really shines through. Beds are normally made with feather duvets and pillows - the tog rating of the duvets depending on the season. However, should you prefer blankets or non-allergenic duvets or pillows, the hotel will make your bed accordingly. The standard pillows are of the firm variety. Should you wish to have a slightly softer pillow, alternatives are again available. The earthy colours of the soft furnishings reflect the immediate environment of the house. Each of the rooms has a superb view over the grounds, the gardens and the softly rolling hills beyond. Whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, the wonderful views over the beautiful ever-changing landscape will delight everyone. All of the en suite bathrooms are comfortably warm and each has a temperature-controlled heated towel rail. Every bathroom comes with plenty of soft, fluffy towels and luxurious bathrobes and slippers. The bathrooms also include a selection of high-quality Molton Brown toiletries and luxury bathroom products available for you to enjoy.

Restaurants and Bars
Savour the interesting and well-balanced dishes carefully created by the award-winning kitchen team, under the inspirational leadership of the head chef. The contemporary cuisine is influenced by the abundance of fresh Scottish produce available locally, all put together with native Scottish flair. The restaurant is open for dinner every day, offering an impressive à la carte menu, which changes regularly to reflect the finest, freshest produce available locally. Dishes also regularly feature ingredients grown on-site, in the hotel's own 400-year-old walled kitchen garden. For that special occasion, or just to treat yourself, you could opt for the 7-course tasting menu. The traditional and popular Sunday lunch is also served in the main restaurant. Lunch is a lighthearted affair, served in the Croquet Lawn Brasserie in the conservatory. Those with special dietary needs can be accommodated by prior request. Please contact the hotel in advance in order to inform them of your requirements, using the contact details supplied on your confirmation email. To complement your food, the hotel offers an extensive wine list, featuring a good selection of house wines. For connoisseurs, the wine list also offers some very interesting choices, which will challenge the knowledge of grapes and regions of even the most experienced and knowledgeable. Cringletie House would not be a proper Scottish country house hotel if it did not have a well-stocked whisky bar. The variety of malt whiskies available is endless and Island, Speyside, Lowland and Highland are just a few of the distinctive categories of whisky available.
