We were made very welcome, the bedroom (No1) was spacious with 2 easy chair, TV, tea & coffee making facilities & lovely biscuits. The bed was the huge bigger than a king size & very comfortable. The restaurant wasn't open whilst we were there but we found enough places to eat only a short walk away. The hotel served alcohol & there were price lists but there were only cans of beer or lager - none on draught, thought I have to say the prices were reasonable. Breakfast was fab, cooked to order & piping hot, nothing was too much trouble.

The lounge was comfortable.
It was friendly
The was basin was in the bedroom which was disappointing.
The location was excellent and peaceful.

We booked last minute and got the family room which is ideal as the twin bedded kids room was off the kingsize main room. Beds were very comfortable and cosy and the rooms were tastefully decorated.

When we arrived the host ws very welcoming but immediately stated that there was a problem and the heating had broken down. If we wanted, he had checked out another hotel which could put us up. However he had put mobile heaters in our room and it was perfecty fine. Once we saw how cosy they were we didn't want to say anywhere else. He also offered us a very good discount because of this.

We were the only guests and had a lovely meal. Adults had soup and haggis followed by two steaks which were from the local butcher and delicious. Kids had meatballs and spagetti and pizza which was polished off with no complaints. Adults then had sticky toffee pudding and icecream which was all homemade and mouthwatering. Son had the chocolate fudge cake and said it was yummy.

We then had our coffee and tea in the guest lounge in front of a roaring fire whilst the kids played dominoes and then helped the owner set up for breakfast (staying in a hotel is a luxurious novelty for them). After tucking the kids up we took a whisky off to bed and had a fabulous sleep.

Breakfast was wonderfully delicious with the bacon and sausages again from the local butcher. Plenty toast, real coffee.

It was a real shame that this hotel is so quiet for this time of year. Grantown is a quiet Highland town but a good base for sightseeing and close to both Aviemore and the Lecht ski resorts. We skied at the Lecht on the Sunday and arrived refreshed with full tums. The weather was a bit grim at the Lecht (strong winds and poor visibility) but a great resort to get the kids started and we would definitely return.

I would recommend this hotel. The owner couldn't have been more welcoming and accommodating. The place made our whole weekend.

The Ravenscourt House Hotel is a wonderful place to stay. The rooms are spacious, exceptionally clean and the bed very comfortable. We found the owners to be friendly and attentive to our needs. The hotel has two reception rooms which are both very invited after a busy day out and about. The breakfast was superb.

The hotel was an excellent base for our trip as it was in easy reach of woods and Findhorn Bay where we went birdwatching. From Findhorn Bay we witnessed a spectacular display of Gannet diving into the water and there were seals a plenty. If you enjoy sea duck then this is the place to see Guillemots, Red-throated Divers and Common Scoters to name a few.
