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.

Wonderful stay

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.

Break Away

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. Evelyn & Bob 25/06/23

Lovely comfortable cottage.

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.
