Situated just 1.7 km from Ruthven Barracks, Gynack Villa offers accommodation in Kingussie with access to a garden, a shared lounge, as well as luggage storage space. The property has mountain and garden views, and is 1.1 km from Kingussie Golf Club. Free private parking is available and the guest house also features bike hire for guests who want to explore the surrounding area. A beautiful old house, not far from the train station. The owner was very nice and pleasant, and the house was spotlessly clean. And the bed was perhaps even better than at home ;)
