The owners of the Osprey cottage made it a perfect stay with all their thoughtfulness to detail to ensure that your holiday is home from home.We have stayed in many holiday cottages but their welcome pack was outstanding. The cottage was light, modern with plenty of space and a well equipped kitchen.The views overlooking the reservoir were amazing. It was lovely watching the Ospreys, Sheep, Hares and many other birds on your doorstep.George was a friendly, interesting man, who was there if you needed him.We would highly recommend this cottage and would love to return again.

Cottages look tired and shabby from the outside but it does look as if work is on going to repair the facias ect. The cottage was 80% clean, dirt on skirting behind the bed and under the TV, there was also a lot of dust under the furniture. microwave had lots of sticky finger prints on the front of it as did the kitchen cupboard doors.Attention to detail needs a bit of work

Had a lovely 4 night break in osprey cottage. Loved the location looking out onto the Loch. Weather was good for time of year and enjoyed the local area. Cottage is quite remote down twisty roads which could be difficult to drive in winter. Cottage was lovely - clean and warm - very well equipped with a lovely bathroom - shower and bath. Would definitely recommend.
