Osprey Cottage is well situated for access to the NC500 (North Coast 500 Route) whether you are travelling by Car or Bike.
The location of Osprey Cottage allows you to do sections of the route on different days to fully take in the scenery.

Rentals at "Osprey Cottage" are for a minimum of 3 nights.


'Osprey Cottage' is situated by the shores of the Cromarty Firth adjacent to the B817 between Saltburn and Barbaraville. This spacious detached property, adjacent to owners' home, has been renovated and furnished to a high standard.
The property is just a few meters from the shoreline. It makes it the ideal place for bird watching. The owners also have a small bird 'hide' available for guests to use with beach access. The many tourist attractions in the area are all within a short drive. Beaches, distilleries, golf courses, castles and RSPB reserves.

The accommodation comprises an entrance hall with slate floor, a well equipped kitchen / dining room with beamed ceiling and slate / oak flooring.

Nature and bird watching:
The local area is rich in both bird and animal life, the Cromarty Firth is a haven for migrating wildfowl and waders in the spring and autumn. The firth also plays host to bottle-nose dolphins and various dolphin watching trips set sail from Cromarty and Inverness. They can also be viewed from Chanonry Point on the Black Isle.

From April to September Ospreys fish along the foreshore of Nigg Bay adjacent to the cottage. The owners also have a small bird hide at the bottom of their garden that you are free to use when you are staying at the cottage.

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.

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

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.

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.
