We came up for the children to see snow for the first time. It was -3oC and snowing outside so it was great to have a cosy room to sleep in.The beds were comfortable and warm, plenty of hot water, and the breakfast was great. Very close to the Cairn Gorm Mountain (by car) for skiing.There would be plenty of... More

We stayed as a family in one of the family rooms. Very pleased with the room-nice size double and bunks for the kids. Tv and DVD player in the room and a selection of DVDs available to watch. It's an older property and not freshly decorated however it was very clean, just a bit tired looking in places. Bedding was... More

when we first arrived we were welcomed very curtiously and friendly .We felt that our room was a good size and well fitted out for our needs The breakfast room is quite dark and uninviting. We felt that the breakfast could have been hotter and more appetizing (quite greasy ) We do believe that the hotel is under going refurbishment... More

We are currently staying at the Ossian Hotel and are very happy with our experience. The owners are charming and friendly and will do everything to make your stay a pleasant one. Yes the decor is a little dated and in need of refurbishment but the bed are clean and comfortable. No trace of damp or mold during our visit.... More

A nice looking B&B with some style but in need of decorating. A lot of stains on the ceilings. Room was average, bed not very comfy but clean sheets. Bathroom was dirty and had a lot of mould. Shower took a long time to heat up. Staff were friendly with a lovely welcoming dog, the real star. Has the potential... More

Stayed here for one night and to be honest it was one night too long! The bedroom was cold, damp and the carpet was worn out in places. The beds were uncomfortable and had a damp feeling to them. The bathroom could also do with replacing. There was mould in between the tiles. As I understand the owners are trying... More

We arrived at this hotel in the evening, and were warmly greeted. The room was fairly small and basic, but very comfortable and cosy. The facilities in the room were good, and having DVDs available to watch on the in room DVD TVs was a nice touch. Particularly for people who might want to settle in after a days walking.... More

The very friendly owners save this very down at heel hotel. Our room was disappointing with a stale smelling bathroom and soft furnishings which were very old, however I think the other rooms may have been refurbished recently and we were unlucky. Tony and Johnny were very friendly and hard working chaps and I wish them good luck.

We stayed there as a couple because we heard the hotel provides excellent food but all we got was basic pub meals for a very high price! Steaks started at £18.90. Our local steak house does them on Fridays for £9.99. The shower was too cold to use, the bedrooms needed done up, were too small as well. The drive... More

Stayed here for one night after a heavy day on the slopes... a few miles further to drive than the array of hotels in aviemore but definitely worth the 10 minute journey. The proprietors were very friendly and welcoming, and the place had a very cosy and inviting appeal. Its not in any way modern or flashy, the rooms are... More
