Hotel The Ossian's

Kincraig, Kincraig, PH21 1QD, United Kingdom –

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

Heat was on when we arrived . Lovely home. Information on house and owner we enjoyed. Lots of space in room and hot shower, plus the fact we could turn the heat down at night if we wanted .

There was literally nothing good to say about this facility. Dirty, unmanaged-no one on property at all, misrepresented in their Booking.com description. The owner spent more time listing his supposed attributes/accomplishments displayed in each room than cleaning. The towels were thin and grey, piecemeal carpets, paint and furnishings. We spent the night before in Dundee at a Best Western for the same price and had a delightful, clean and highly functional accomodations. Ossians was the opposite. We'd have left and gone elsewhere but other properities were full. He got our money but we get our review. This was as bad as the worst Hostel for three times the price. A dump.

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.

Very friendly proprietor showed us to our room. It was perfect for our needs. Family enjoyed the stay. No pretentions.Comfy nights sleep. Excellent value for money, it was less expensive than the Youth Hostel. It allowed us to meet up with family and have a great wee escape to the Cairgorms at an affordable budget. Thanks!

Tony the propreitor was super lovely and very welcoming. Our room was very comfy, with a double bed and 4 bunk bed which the 3 kids loved as there was a spare :-) The property is undergoing renovations at the moment (Sept 2019) so cannot really comment on the rest of the place as we did not go there. The garden and grouns are lovely, and the location was handy to Aviemore.

Location is stunning, the owners should step up and make this place better, because it could be amazing.

Gorgeous property in an absolutely stunning location. Host extremely helpful and friendly. It’s by no means luxury, but was absolutely fine for us. The night sky is stunning. Everything was very comfortable and just a couple of miles from the highlands country park, which is what we came for.

“Nothing short of a catastrophe ”
- • Leisure trip
- • Travelers with friends
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Already when walking around the house to find the entrance you know that this is a construction site, not a homely guest house. The owner, Tony, explained that he is in the process of remodeling the whole house to turn it into a veteran home. A sticky brochure will explain further that all money paid for accommodation will be directed at the remodel. Turning the house into a veteran home is without a doubt a noble goal. The rooms, however, are in desperate need of attention from their owner. Doors don’t close, water doesn’t turn hot, the carpet is 50 shades of disgusting; don’t even ask what I found when Darin to peek down the edge of the bed in search for a socket. This is not worth whatever money it is offered for. This wouldn’t even pass as the cheapest hostel bed in the whole of the highlands.
The house looks old and mysterious from the outside.

Dirty linens. If the towels are grey and thin, how do we know the linens were washed? The mattress was so broken down you rolled off the side unless in the middle on a hump. Musty.

Desperately requires a renovation as it is a very old house. Do not expect much when you go there. It is just a place to stay, nothing more.
Very easy to access, enough parking and spacious room. Shower was good compared to other showers we have experienced during the trip.
