This was our first stay at Ruthven House having been recommended by a friend. We received a lovely welcome from Fiona and also a welcome pack of milk, bread, jam, etc. The hospitality was second to none with lovely surprises of delicious homemade cakes. We had a truly wonderful stay in one of the cottages. It was warm and cosy,... More

We just got back from a wonderful easter - a few days in one of the cottages and one night in the B&B. Lovely time in a lovely place run by really lovely people - couldn't do enough for us. Nice treats in the afternoon too! The cottage was really good - well equipped and warm and really well located... More

We have been treated to wonderful hospitality from Fiona, the proprietor from the welcome pack to impromtue homebaked cakes that appear in the house! If you wish to... More

We stayed here for two nights. Very hospitable hosts who are always willing to help you with anything. We had a very romantic room and beautiful clean bathroom! Nice rural place with amazing view when you're standing in front of the house. Great breakfast (love the rabbits who joined us!). Dinner at the local pub is awesome!!

Lovely place, very peaceful. The owners were extremely friendly and it was very enjoyable watching the wildlife in the garden with a lovely cup of tea :-) I would highly recommend this establishment-only wish I could have stayed longer. Many thanks for a great stay

We were looking for accommodation close to Loch Garten as we had heard so much about their fabulous breeding Ospreys. A friend who had been to the area some years before recommended Ruthven house. All of the earlier entries say it all really! The house is in a lovely spot, we got the warmest of welcomes each day we returned... More

I spent two nights at this establishment which I found via the Scottish Tourist Board site as if you drove into Kingussie you won't drive past it even though it's on the road to the station. Bobbi and Alastair were excellent hosts, He greeted you on your arrival, helped you with your bags and showed you round. Don't be taken... More
