Certain units in the guest house have private entrance and are equipped with dressing room and outdoor furniture. All units include a kettle, a flat-screen TV and a safety deposit box, while some rooms will provide you with a terrace and some have garden views. At the guest house, every unit comes with bed linen and towels. This was the cleanest I've ever seen a home. The owners we're very friendly and helpful. We arrived late due to a flat tire and they were very accommodating. We definitely recommend.

Situated 1.1 km from Kingussie Golf Club, The Osprey Hotel offers 3-star accommodation in Kingussie and has a terrace. The property is non-smoking and is located 1.7 km from Ruthven Barracks.

Guest rooms in the hotel are equipped with a kettle. Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and free toiletries, rooms at The Osprey Hotel also boast free WiFi, while some rooms include a mountain view. The rooms in the accommodation are fitted with a TV and a hairdryer. It’s hard to describe why you leave some places feeling happy and warm at heart, (and not really wanting to leave at all) but I’ll give it a go. The Osprey is a one of a kind hotel in the heart of Scotland. We booked it on a whim on our way back to Edinburgh after a week in the Highlands, it had the perfect location since we didn’t want to drive for too long, great reviews and a room available for three. Already at check-in you feel that it’s something out of the ordinairy. The owners Des and Sinead are warm and kind people with a great sense of humour, happy to help with restaurant suggestions or things to do in the area (or a birthday song, if you’re lucky!). The hotel itself is beautiful inside out, from the floral wallpaper and wooden floor to the picturesque stone facade partly covered in plants, nothing is left to chance. There’s no fuss or haste at The Osprey and we left feeling relaxed, well rested and wanting to come back! If the above isn’t convincing enough, in addition: The room was the nicest we had during our week in Scotland, super comfortable beds and bedding, a nice view over the park outside and very tasteful interior. The breakfast had a broad range of tasty and filling choices. The town of Kingussie itself was very charming and well worth a visit. I honestly can’t recommend this place enough.
