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

We can fully endorse the latest reviews. Excellent bed and breakfast and very friendly ,welcoming hosts. We had a most comfortable stay at Ruthven house and enjoyed the tranquility of the countryside and easy walk into Kingussie. Breakfast was lovely- freshly prepared fruit salad, juice.etc and wonderful cooked breakfast.We hope to return soon.

Located just outside Kingussie, Ruthven House is situated in a lovely position close to the atmospheric ruined army barracks occupied by the English army in the early 18th century. Ruthven House has great character with a real feeling of a delightful Scottish country house. Alastair gave us a wonderful and very friendly welcome before directing us to the dining room... More

We booked a couple of nights at Ruthven House without knowing anything about it. What luck we had! The setting was beautiful - a lovely house and within walking distance (if you don't mind a 20 minute walk) into Kingussie. The hosts were very welcoming and, as other have said, the breakfast was amazing! One of my favourite foods is... More

A wonderful find. B & B a few minutes outside Kingussie, Scotland. Lovely hosts and warm welcome. The surrounding grounds are beautiful. Stay an extra day or two to see area.

Ruthven House is the definition of a perfect B&B. Charming, friendly hosts, a warm, welcoming room and a truly great breakfast. On our three-week tour of Scotland, this was without doubt our favourite spot and was so nice, we extended our initial one-night stay to 2. We would have stayed a month with Alistair and Bobby if we could. We... More

My wife and I have just returned from spending a few days in the north of Scotland, and found Ruthven House by chance, when on the way home. Having intended stopping at Aviemore, we were unable to find any suitable accommodation, and continued south via Coylum Bridge and Insch, to find Ruthven House in passing. First Bobbi, then Alistair, went... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at Ruthven House for one night during Easter weekend. It was by far the best B&B I have ever stayed in. The hosts Alastair and Bobbi were so welcoming, friendly and really made us feel at home. We found the B&B by chance when another one in Kingussie was full, but it really exceeded our... More
