The cottage is fully equipped with everything you might need. Very tastefully decorated! Gorgeous setting and views. We were there to to unwind and relax and achieved our goal. Thanks to our hosts for a lovely stay.
We had a relaxing stay at Osprey Cottage just what we needed. The cottage was very well equiped with everything you need and has a small garden which has a table and chairs ideal for sitting out with your tea/ coffee in the morning listening to all the different birds that visit the bird table.
Unfortunately there isn't wifi at the cottage but we had read this in previous reviews and brought our portable mini router so it was not a problem for us.
The owners Allan & Shona live close bye and are on hand if you need them. Osprey Cottage is a little gem of a cottage and would definitely recomend a stay there.

The hosts were amazing people, and we did not have a car so we were stuck in Invergordon. Allan was so kind to drive us wherever we needed to go and treated us like family. It definitely made travel in this area so much kinder, welcoming, and easier. Amazing property too! Gorgeous views and charming vibe.
La llegada a la propiedad fue fácil y expedita. Y cuando nos encontramos con la casa, quedamos maravillados. Nos recibieron un Living amplio y una hermosa vista. Leimos antes que habían aprenciones con el ruido por la noche, pero a nosotros al menos no tuvimos problemas.
Es un lugar perfecto para salir a conocer o quedarse a descansar.
Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen.
Die Besitzer wohnen nebenan im Old Mill House, sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit, wenn man denn eine Frage hat oder etwas braucht.
Auf jeden Fall sehr zu empfehlen.
Osprey Cottage was very comfortable with lots of space and a very well appointed kitchen. There was a great view of the firth and lots of birds in the garden. There weren’t too many places to eat dinner nearby but the kitchen was great to cook your own dinner. The only downside was no wifi.
This beautiful cottage is more than expected with high carefully designed and built by a master builder, beautifully decorated. It feels like a 5 star cottage in a remote location. So quiet comfortable and cozy.
Osprey cottage is a very comfortable well equipped cottage. Owners are very helpful
Right on the coast with access to the beach Interesting view of the Black isle and the oil rigs
I have lived in the area most of my life and have lived in my house which is adjacent but detached from Osprey Cottage for more than 35 years. I am a self employed joiner and work locally.
Why they chose this property
The cottage was originally a substantial stone outbuilding and at the time there were very few self catering cottages in the local area. As we have always chosen self catering holidays we decided to give it a go and renovate and extend the cottage to make it what it is today.
