Reviews
Fantastic stay and walking distance to lots of facilities
on Sunday, 06 Sep 2026
We loved our stay at the Okd Ministers House in Ruthiemurchas. The house was perfect for our group of friends with each of the rooms having en-suite bathrooms. There was plenty of space to congregate. Extra bonus was the location. We could watch folks on The Tree Zone and decided to try it too - great fun. We loved that the location was far enough out of Aviemore to enjoy beautiful Forrest walks to lochs and lochens, but close enough to walk in and enjoy spending time in Aviemore.
Would definitely recommend for a large group.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, we completely agree - The Old Minister’s House is in a fantastic location and is perfect for groups. Good on you for taking on the high ropes at TreeZone!
Thank you for recommending the house, we hope we can welcome you and your friends back for another stay in the future.

Superb family holiday
on Saturday, 15 Aug 2026
We stayed for a week in July 2026 with grandparents and three family groups, we all had plenty of room and the annex was perfect for grandparents to have a quiet space. En-suites throughout is a real plus point. Everything was clean and well maintained.
The location was perfect for us. Really useful to have the cafe and farm shop on the doorstep, along with bike hire, cycle path and tree treck! We used it all!!
Quick drive (or cycle) to the loch with the paddle board/canoe - we had it nearly to ourselves. Only slightly further to loch Insh for all they have to offer. Easy cycle into Aviemore too! We will definitely book this again - we need to come back when the mountain is open (closed during our stay due to the wildfires). Thank you for a superb holiday.
Thank you for such a lovely review! We're delighted the house worked so well for the whole family and that you made the most of everything the area has to offer. We look forward to welcoming you back for another Highland adventure!

Great Location, wonderful agency, amazing (elderly) house
on Saturday, 08 Aug 2026
On a wonderful whim, I rented the Old Ministers House (OMH) for an entire month. Its large, with lots of bedrooms (each with its own bathroom) and lots of space for hosting additional guests (my family members, in this case). The house is perched romantically on the edge of the River Druie. It also includes a well-equipped kitchen, and large dining room and living room. WiFi is secure and reliable. The location is on the edge of the old Rothiemurchus estate, itself largely located within the Cairngorms National Park. For those who love the outdoors and are seeking outdoor adventures, this is an ideal place to be, with everything from farm visits, horseback riding, falconry, biking, kayaking, and endless miles of hiking trails. Nextdoor to the Old Ministers House are a cafe and the Rothiemurchus farm and gift store. Granted, the location, while rural, hosts plenty of tourists, so its not necessarily secluded. Nor did it seem overcrowded.
I must also praise the GNL agency. My lengthy stay allowed a few small problems to surface, which the agency handled with speed and thoughtfulness. Jenny was especially helpful!
My only concerns are for the maintenance of the house itself. It is only normal that the many rotating guests can be hard on a property. Weather and nature can be hard as well. There are various things that need maintenance or updating to keep this wonderful old home in its best condition.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review. It was a real pleasure to welcome you back to the Old Minister’s House for your second visit, having first stayed at the property when it was still operating as a B&B.
We were delighted to meet you during your month-long stay and most importantly, to hear that the house provided such a wonderful setting for you and your family to spend time together. It sounds as though you made the most of both the house and its fantastic Rothiemurchus location.
Thank you too for your kind words about the team here, that's very much appreciated.
We really appreciate your comments regarding the maintenance of the house as well. Feedback like this is invaluable in helping us and the owners ensure this much-loved property continues to be cared for and enjoyed by future guests.
It was our pleasure to have you stay, and we hope this won’t be your last visit to the area.
