About the home

Ravenscourt House is an 8-bedroom former Church of Scotland manse, built in 1882, that retains many of its original features. Up to 20 guests can comfortably be accommodated.

The house is situated in its own grounds but is just two minutes walk from the centre of Grantown-on-Spey, a charming small town with a distinct village atmosphere, located amongst breathtaking countryside on the Northern edge of the Cairngorms National Park.

The Cairngorm National Park in which we are located has been designated an area of outstanding natural beauty and is renowned for its wildlife. There are a large number of golf courses in the surrounding area including a number of championship courses. The River Spey, that runs through Grantown, is renowned for the quality of its salmon fishing and Ravenscourt House has gun cabinets, ideal for those visiting the area for its shooting.

The Cairngorm Mountain and Lecht Ski Centre are within close proximity making it an ideal base for skiers, climbers and walkers. There are also a large number of Whisky Distilleries and Castles in the area with Balmoral within an hours drive. Loch Ness is also less than an hours’ drive from the hotel.
