Most guests found the apartment to be clean and well-maintained, though there were a few mentions of specific items not being cleaned to a high standard, such as a teapot and microwave. The cleanliness of the shower drain was also noted. However, these instances appear to be exceptions rather than the rule.
The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, natural beauty, and convenience for exploring the Highlands. Guests consistently mention the excellent setting near Loch Insh and Aviemore, making it a strong point of satisfaction.
While many guests found the apartment comfortable and the bed cosy, there were several comments about the bed causing backache and the sofa being uncomfortable. The comfort of the living space is somewhat mixed, with more positive than negative feedback.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and modern decor. However, guests frequently mention issues with low shower pressure and lack of storage space. Some guests also noted the absence of an iron, ironing board, and washing machine. Maintenance issues like the need for repainting and a more effective shower were also brought up.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

The location was so peaceful and in an idyllic location but easily accessible to Aviemore. Osprey Apartment was comfortable, clean, and had everything two people needed for the duration of their stay. Highly recommended and will definitely be visited again in the future.

The plate and utensil drainer had a lot of old crud in water drain outlet, the microwave oven was filthy, the shower drain outlet was filthy under the drain cover and the waste water was very slow to drain away.

Great wee storage shed for kayaks and bikes that is shared with another apartment.
