Eccezionale!
Pros:

Credo sia stato uno degli hotel migliori in cui sia stato. Bellissima struttura in un’ottima posizione per visitare le Highlands. I padroni sono super disponibili e gentili. È stato come sentirsi a casa. SUPER CONSIGLIATO!

Klein und sehr persönlich und ansonsten so wie wir uns ein typischen Britisches B&B vorstellen.
Pros:

Typischer Great Britain Charme. Alles ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen (z.B. ein rosa 70er Jahre Badezimmer) und ein bisschen plüschig, aber alles gut gepflegt und tip top sauber. Es war alles da, was man braucht, von Fön über Netflix bis hin zum Wasserkocher und Kaffee Pad Maschine. Beste Lage im Zentrum von Kingussie, Kostenlose Parkplätze gegenüber. Das Betreiber-Ehepaar ist sehr freundlich, engagiert und hilfsbereit.
Frühstück kann "á la carte" bestellt werden zu einem fairen Preis.

Cons:

Es gibt nichts, was uns nicht gefallen hat.
Die Einrichtung ist Geschmackssache aber man merkt, dass viel Liebe und gute Pflege drin stecken.

Good location. Warm welcome and huge breakfast. Visit again
Pros:

Easy to find off the main street. Parking across the way. Warm welcome from Des. Room on 1st floor was spotless and well appointed. No noise from passing traffic. Toiletries and hair dryer. Comfy bed. We had a small issue trying to get TV reception but host came to help. Guess it is Highland broadband and has a limit to how many guests use it. Unbelievable breakfast the following day - huge. Wondered why others at nearby table shared a plate. Order the night before.
we went to the Cafe Bistro near the end of town. Great service and you can take your own wine with no corkage fee. Host allowed us to chill our wine before we left. Would certainly use this hotel if we were in the area again. Well done Team Osprey.

Cons:

Internet speed perhaps but think it is the highland area. We were there ahead of a Country Game Fair - not really to watch a film or anything.

Sehr gemütliches kleines Hotel mit tollen Inhabern
Pros:

Das Ehepaar, das das kleine Hotel betreibt war unglaublich nett und hat uns auf jede nur erdenkliche Weise geholfen (z.B. Ausflugstipps, Aufbewahren von Essen, Frühstückswünsche etc.). Unser Zimmer war ganz neu und gemütlich eingerichtet. Die Lage des Hotels ist prima und ruhig, sowohl im Ort mit ein paar Lokalen als auch für die weitere Umgebung.

Cons:

Es gab eigentlich nichts auszusetzen.

Cosy, comfy base for dedicated walkers and breakfasts for champions
Pros:

Lovely hosts, cant do enough to make your stay pleasant, great sense of humour. Very cosy and comfy room with everything you need. Breakfasts were a talking point. Both delicious and enormous! Very helpful regarding local beautifulwalks. Had a fun evening at the local Wolf Bar pub quiz. Pub grub very nice and just down road.

Cons:

Our room was called garden room but overlooked a car park and busy road.
Better to be more honest about that.
Parking is over the road. It's OK ...not a deal breaker.
