About this cottage rental
Osprey Cottage is a pretty semi-detached cottage situated in tranquil wooded grounds in the hamlet of Alcaig on the Black Isle.
Osprey Cottage features stunning views over the Cromarty Firth, with the hills and mountains of Easter Ross beyond, from the lounge and both bedrooms. It's a view which is constantly changing with the tide and light. The tidal firth is a haven for wildlife and ospreys can be seen most days in the summer months from the cottage fishing over the firth and in the winter thousands of geese can be seen.
It has a kitchen and an open-plan dining and living area with wide-reaching views across the Cromarty Firth and towards Ben Wyvis. The cottage has easy ramp access making it suitable for some disabled guests and wheelchair users.
The kitchen is well-equipped with a dishwasher, washer-dryer machine, gas hob, electric oven, microwave, and fridge with a small freezer compartment.
There is one double bedroom (with a king-sized bed and a walk-in wardrobe) and one single bedroom. Both have views across the Inner Cromarty Firth.
The lounge has a TV with Freeview, a DVD player and selection of DVDs, a CD/Radio, games, books and lots of leaflets and information.
The cottage has under-floor heating with individually-controllable thermostats in each room and a heated-towel radiator in the shower room.
From the dining area french doors open out onto the private patio area with a table and chairs. There are shared wooded gardens that host a large amount of birdlife. The cottage is located at the end of a private drive and has parking for a car immediately in front of it.
The cottage has wifi.
Two well-behaved pets may be allowed by arrangement at no extra cost.
Despite the peace and quiet, the cottage is conveniently located for the town of Dingwall (3 miles away) and the Highland's capital Inverness (12 miles). It is also the perfect base for touring the Highlands being at the hub of the road network. Some of the most spectacular scenery in the UK - Glen Affric, Loch Ness, Torridon, Assynt - is less than an hour away. The Black Isle itself has historical villages like Cromarty, great beaches such as Rosemarkie, and at Chanonry Point has the best land location to see dolphins in the UK.
Osprey Cottage offers you the opportunity to stay in a clean, comfortable, quiet location with exceptional views and be perfectly located for the best the Highlands has to offer.
Disabled Suitability
Wheelchair accessible
There is a paved ramp from the drive, where there is parking, to the front door. All the interior door widths are suitable.
The shower is extra-large but has a lip for the shower tray of around 4cm. A shower stool is available on request.
There is no grab handle by the toilet but a freestanding toilet frame is available on request.
Just a slight adjustment to one of the sofas in the lounge is needed to accommodate wheelchair guests. We have accommodated many wheelchair guests in the past without any issues.
