Guests say
Osprey View Lodge & Hot Tub in Aberfeldy is a well-regarded holiday rental, praised for its stunning views, well-equipped kitchen, and the inclusion of a hot tub. Guests appreciate the cleanliness, comfort, and the thoughtful touches such as biscuits and prosecco. While some guests encountered issues with the hot tub and cleanliness, these were exceptions and the overall experience is highly rated.
Most guests found the lodge to be spotlessly clean, though there were isolated complaints about the hot tub's cleanliness and some kitchen items. These incidents seem to be promptly addressed, suggesting a generally high standard of cleanliness with room for improvement.
The lodge's location is highly praised for its amazing views and proximity to Aberfeldy and local activities. The steep access road is noted, but it does not significantly detract from the overall positive reception of the location.
Guests generally regard the lodge as comfortable, with comfy beds and a welcoming atmosphere. There was a mention of a hard mattress in the master suite and a desire for fans during warmer nights, but these are minor compared to the overall comfort experienced.
Facilities are well-received, with a well-maintained hot tub and a fully equipped kitchen. Some feedback suggests the hot tub cover is heavy and difficult to manage, and there were initial issues with the hot tub's cleanliness, but these were resolved.
While guests mentioned appreciative gestures such as biscuits and prosecco, there is not enough information to assess the consistency of these thoughtful touches across all stays. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that such gifts will always be provided.

The lodge exceeded out expectations. It was warm, welcoming, comfy, and modern. The hot tub was piping hot and the views were outstanding. Aberfeldy is a 2 minute drive, however we walked there and back for dinner and drinks and it took around 15 minutes. There aren't any streetlights after you leave the town but we used the torches on our phones are were fine. The lodge itself is really well equipped and it had everything you'd expect. We didn't need to bring kitchen roll, food wrap, salt, pepper, tea or coffee, it was all there, including ice in the freezer. Lovely little touches were the shortie biscuits and prosecco in the fridge. We travelled during Storm Elowyn and although the road up is very steep, we managed it no problem, you just need to take your time. Not sure how I'd fancy it in the snow however. Overall we absolutely loved our stay and would come back in a heartbeat.

Everything is exactly as described. Only two small negative comments from us â¦â¦. 1. the hot tub cover was very difficult to replace as itâs very heavy and in such a tight spot and 2. we also felt the heating in the lodge was set too low and although you can easily increase it the new temp only lasts for 30 minutes - perhaps this should maybe be at least one hour. There is a log burner but we didnât have kindling, logs etc with us to put it on. Overall itâs a great lodge and we wouldnât hesitate to recommend it to others or return ourselves.
