What a lovely time my daughter and I had at Osprey cottage. It is so spacious and comfortable from the seating to the beds we especially loved the peace and quiet and the views were lovely to the open fields and wildlife. The abundance of logs for the burner is fantastic. Cottage is very spacious and so cosy everything you would wish for on your holiday. Absolutely be back next year.Big thankyou to Katie the owner for thinking about your guests needs

Osprey cottage was the perfect place for a quiet relaxing holiday the local area had all we needed for our holiday local shops and larger ones within half an hour,As it is a quiet location with no light or noise pollution the wildlife and stars were in abundance,Our only slight niggle was the quilt would not stay on the bed but it didn’t alter the fact that this was a well equipped and spacious cottage

We had a lovely stay at Osprey Cottage for a week - it was a great base to explore Perthshire and to do a few day trips to further away places like Glencoe and Lochness/Inverness. Plenty to do in the area and Katie keeps a lovely place with anything you may want as well as plenty of recomendations of places to eat and explore nearby. We had our dog with us and the cottage was great for him too, lots of space in the dog-proof garden to run around and plenty of places for him to snooze after very long hikes!
