Guestbook comments from the owner
Beautiful cottage. Weather was kind to us and we managed to go out every day. Wonderful scenery.
Distilleries warmed us up on the colder days.

Review
Cottage was in a great location and was exactly as advertised. If I could change anything it would be the bed as we found it soft but that is a personal preference. Lots of information and places to visit.
Very good
This property was as good as ever with a good supply of treats for us on arrival. The only negative was that the parking space allocated to the cottage was under some silver birch(?) trees which were dropping a glue-like substance onto the car with the result that we had to visit the local carwash several times to get rid of it.
Very impressed. Warm and welcoming.
We were really impressed with this cottage. Very clean and very welcoming on arrival and very comfortable. Lights and heating were on so it was warm and cosy. Nice added touch was the milk in the fridge and the biscuits crisps and bottle of wine that had been left for us. Beautiful views out of the back window and we used the bird hide regularly. Would recommend this cottage to everyone.
Osprey Cottage
This beautiful cottage in Invergordon area is a "gem". Beautifully decorated, immaculately kept, spacious and very comfortable with everything you need to enjoy your stay, the kitchen is extremely well equipped with instructions for using every appliance. On the shores of the Firth or Cromarty with its own private bird blind for bird lovers. The MacDonald's are very gracious hosts and have provided all the information one needs to enjoy the surrounding areas to the fullest. We especially appreciated the welcoming treats and starters!
A beautiful cottage
We stayed at Osprey Cottage for one week. We have been to Scotland many times
and stayed in lovely cottages but we think that Osprey Cottage is the most beautiful one we have stayed in. The cottage is very spacious and every room is beautifully furnished. The kitchen is equipped to a very high standard and the walk in shower in the bathroom is absolutely fantastic. It is ideally situated to visit the most northern part of Scotland. We have had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay and even the weather was kind to us. It was our first stay at the cottage and we have already recommended it to our family and friends.
Hervorragend Ferienwohnung
Tatsächlich ist der reale Eindruck der Fewo noch besser als der durch die Fotos vermittelte.
Wir waren für eine Woche in dieser großzügigen, warmen, gemütlichen, heimeligen und gut ausgestatteten Fewo rundum zufrieden und können sie nur weiterempfehlen.
Gemütliche Sofas (Leselicht fehlt), reichlich Musik-CD's und Videos, sehr schönes Bad, große und gutausgestattete Küche, direkter Zugang zum Strand (der nicht besonders einladen aber zum abendlichen bummeln bei Ebbe ok ist). Von dort wunderbare Sonnenuntergänge mit Ausblick auf die Black Isle (mit Cromarty: Besuch lohnend, Anfahrt von Norden mit Fähre). Die Bohrtürme im Cromarty Firth stören nicht und sind weit weg...
Gute Einkaufsmöglichkeit gibt es in Invergordon.
