Fabulous experience! My partner and I stayed at the Osprey for one night on 19/10/24, and it was a brilliant experience! Des and Sinead were lovely. Des made us feel so comfortable and welcome, above and beyond service. Great breakfast, super comfortable beds, and some cool recommendations for local places to eat/drink. Will happily be coming again, thank you both!

This was our first visit back at the Osprey Hotel after it had been severely damaged by water from leaking pipes last winter. We were hugely impressed with all the reconstruction and renovation work that the owners have accomplished. …

Amazing in every way. The building is newly renovated and the rooms are absolutely lovely. The bed was the best bed I have found on our trip to Scotland. The town is small and charming. What a great experience. We are already planning our next visit to this wonderful hotel.

The hosts of this distinctive, hotel went above and beyond. The room was so comfortable and well equipped and as for the bed, to say it was comfortable is an understatement! Best nights sleep we've ever had in a hotel. Can't fault anything, we highly recommend this hotel.

Had a lovely one night stay in a room with very comfortable beds. The house had nice touches of decor and the host Sinead provided great food recommendations as well as most impressively carried my friend's 50lb bag up the stairs without lowing her breath. The shower was a bit cold with low pressure but the great sleep and atmosphere made up for it. Location was very walkable for the small town and just about 20mins to Aviemore and other points of interest

Immaculately clean room and very kind hosts. We stopped here on a bike tour. They did laundry for us! They also allowed us to store our bikes inside. Just great.
