Beautiful place fab views
Omg i loved it here. The room was cute. The views were fantastic i stayed with 2 teen girls and they equally loved it. We also went for a hike up the hill and there were owls and mountain trails right behind the hotel. The owners were just lovely and there was sooo much food at brekkie and they had loads of fruit teas too.

Lovely hotel with fabulous view across the Spey valley to the Ruthven Barracks (from Room 3 Ruthven) and the hills beyond. Very welcoming host, Bernie, who serves a great breakfast selection. Excellent value for money.

Fantastic Host!
We had such a wonderful stay. It was only a flying visit but Bernie was absolutely brilliant. He made us feel extremely welcome, did everything he could to help us and gave us some brilliant advice on things to do in the local area. The guest house was extremely clean and had everything needed; towels and a tea/coffee station were provided and the breakfast was yummy. I would definitely recommend it and would love to return. The best B and B of our trip for sure. Thank you! Chloe and Ella.

Evening stay en route back home.
We had booked an evening stay en route from Orkney to home. We were warmly greeted by Bernie on arrival and advised of locations for an eveninv meal. The house and our room were spotless, clean, tidy with coffee/tea making facilities both in lounge and bedroom with en suite facility. Unfortunately after our arrival & evening meal we were ping'd by NHS and asked to isolate so advised Bernie. We were allowed to watch the EURO 2020 Final in their lounge as we were the only guests in their home. We suggested breakfast should consist of cereal and toast in lieu of the normal due to our isolation. When we came down they had laid out cereals, boiled eggs, cheese, buns, toast, fresh fruit juice, yoghurt and fresh fruit and tea / coffee facilities. An excellent breakfast so did not really miss the normally supplied full Scottish cooked breakfast. We were extremely pleased with our stay and would like to thank Bernie and his wife for their lovely hospitality and our stay. Will definetly use their facility in the future given the opportunity and would highly recommend anyone else to use their property.

Bernie was lovely. I guess he was the manager/ owner. He couldn't do enough to help and gave us some great information on different walks and interesting places. The breakfasts were great, tasty and properly cooked. As Bernie's wife/partner possibly did the cooking it would have been good to meet her. My son saw her but only by accident I believe.

So comfy and relaxing! Room 1 downstairs was well equipped, and quiet. Cooked breakfasts were great, hosts Bernie and Janis very helpful. Onsite parking. There’s a lovely living room with view too. Kingussie is a sweet village with all conveniences and a great base for exploring the fabulous Cairngorms. Recommend!

Very welcoming place! The owners go out of their way to make your stay perfect and the breakfast is outstanding. I would only point out that the house can be a bit noisy early in the morning due to other early bird guests.
