Ravenscraig Guesthouse

Let's start with the breakfast before we get to the bed, because you need some time to process them. They're epic. Start with porridge and fresh fruit, and carry on with an overspilling plate of the Full Scottish, featuring black pudding, tattie (potato) scones, homemade bread and eggs – laid in the backyard and cooked however you want them.

The Ravenscraig is a wonderfully hospitable B&B located in a 14-room house on the main street leading into the heart of Aviemore. Besides the comfy rooms offered in the main house, there are several very plush motel-style rooms out the back – all with free Wi-Fi. Hosts Jill and Jonathan are super-friendly and informative, and the cosy living room has a welcoming open fire and a cat to keep you company as you leaf through books about whisky.
