Guests say
Osprey View Lodge & Hot Tub in Aberfeldy is a well-regarded holiday rental, praised for its stunning views, well-equipped kitchen, and beautifully decorated interiors. Guests have enjoyed the hot tub and found the property to be a comfortable base for activities. While there was an isolated issue with hot tub cleanliness, it was promptly addressed. The lodge's hilltop location offers spectacular views, though the steep access may challenge some visitors.
The lodge generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests finding it nice and clean. However, there was a significant complaint about the hot tub's condition upon arrival, which lowers the score. The issue was resolved quickly, demonstrating good responsiveness to maintenance.
The location is highly praised for its amazing views and proximity to local attractions and activities. The steep hill access is noted, but it does not detract significantly from the overall positive reception of the location.
Guests have found the beds comfortable and the lodge cosy, although one review mentioned an uncomfortably hard mattress in the master suite. The lack of air circulation on warmer nights was also a concern for one guest.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the lodge being equipped with everything required for a pleasant stay. The hot tub is a highlight, despite one mention of it being small for larger groups. Some feedback suggests improvements in lighting and hot tub cover handling.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

We did enjoy our stay but it was not luxury. There was no dressing gowns for the hot tub you'd expect and the hot tub was greasy. Your lodge is stunning but could be done with a deep clean. On arrival the road up to ithe property really needs attention. The kitchen was clean but the cutlery in drawer wasn't clean or checked there was also rotten bananas half eaten loft and waffles left behind. The pans in cupboard were in disarray and plates needed washing before use. I refixed the cupboards and dishes as I do look after 5 star luxury lodges myself. All in all we enjoyed our stay and had wanted to extend it but seemed a nightmare to try and extend. We will return some time as it was quiet and we did enjoy the fire and the view.

Recommend the Ailean Chraggan at Weem for dinner. And also visit to Farmers market at Aberfeldy on the Sunday. Suggest site owners put up a sign at the road entrance and also a map of the site, just so we know where our specific lodge sits!
