Hotel The Ossian's

Kincraig, Kincraig, PH21 1QD, United Kingdom –

A bunk bed or bunk beds in a room at The Ossian's

It had a TV and as a bonus some really ancient DVDs (that skipped / froze on us). The DVD find was really the highlight of our stay.

A nice hotel, located at the town center but the nearest place for dinner is located 25 min walk.

We got a big family room with very comfortable beds. We liked the idea of no staff, and that your name is simply displayed on the entrance door at arrival and the keys are waiting for you at the room. Something lovely which could only be done in the country side/Highlands without worrying that the TV will be stolen. It was nice to have the DVD player and a big selection of kids films.

Self chek-in and check-out - that was great if you don't have completely scheduled holiday. The mansion was beatiful and staff amazing.

Its an old building so it was kinda cosy. Just stayed for one night on our way to Edinburgh so we didnt spend much time there. Really nice staff.

Nobody to meet or greet!! ( Never seen a staff member the whole time) Key left in the room door with a sheet of paper on downstairs door as a point of check in!! Place was derelict!! Room was filthy! Duvet was yellow and looked 50 years old!!!! Room was from another time zone!! Shower filled up as you stood in it!!!! Yuck!!! Felt itchy and scared to touch anything!! Clean your own cups after use sticker on the bathroom mirror! with what I could only describe as the sponge Used to clean the Train-spotting toilet!! The movie!! And a big bottle of fairy liquid next to it!! Ohhh! Nearly forgot you get a £15 surcharge if you leave too much rubbish in your ROOM!! Honestly!! Yes and it’s on the wall to prove this!! Totally unsuitable for families!!!

I liked nothing, the place was dirty in need of desperate repair. I actually feared for my son's safety with the state of the dinning room and kitchen.

On the booking it said that there is a communal dining area where you can have your breakfast. When we arrived we realized that the downstairs was all under refurbishment. It would've been nice to be updated about that. We ended up eating in the room which wasn't bad but I'm sure that the owners would have preferred that we don't.

Paint peeling off windows, carpets in room not hoovered properly, cobwebs with a lot of dead flies.stained carpet in bathroom, bed squeaked and the pillows awful, luckily we had been camping and had our own. Shower small and not very powerful. Listed use of kitchen and dining area to make own breakfast as none included. Both doors locked. Have stayed in better hostels for a third of the price. Not worth £62 for the night. Television very small.

The comfort of the beds was worse and also, the photos of rooms were nicer than in reality, but we did not mind - we enjoyed our stay anyway.
Self chek-in and check-out - that was great if you don't have completely scheduled holiday. The mansion was beatiful and staff amazing.

It wasnt clean, room in very bad state with lots of holes in the walls. There are no facilities as stated to prepare breakfast. All other doors were locked. We had a child with us and although it states there are DVDs etc, the tv and DVD did not work. There is no where close to get food as stated. If you are arriving late and leaving early and just need a bed then fine but this place is not like the photos or description and definitely not child friendly. The description and photos need updated. If we had not had such a long day at landmark then we would not have stayed but would have left and driven home. It's such a shame as the house and grounds could be so lovely.
The house is situated in a nice quiet area .

“Don’t book this place: please trust the other customer’s feedback”

Unfortunately, this host appears to shamelessly profit from renting out a dump. Massive lack of fundamental sanitation (toiletts not cleaned, dirty sheets, dirty floor and other surfaces, used blood-stained bandage sticking to picture frame, dead insects everywhere, sponge for cleaning disgusting, cups with stains...); smoke detector in room without batteries; only one out of 4 windows in the room actually opens; no common areas available due to renovation works; pictures on Booking.com are misleading and do not match reality at all; money from bookings is apparently used to fund a questionable project instead of maintaining the property (information not provided beforehand)
