Osprey Hideaways overlooks the owners’ own 120-acre loch where ospreys can be seen feeding most days in season. 300ft high cliffs frame the far side of the water, making the views genuinely stunning. All the cottages are furnished to a very high boutique standard and provide excellent accommodation for couples or family groups. A welcome pack is provided including a bottle of bubbly so that you can relax as soon as you arrive. There is also lovely linen, towels, bathrobes - and even slippers! To top this off is the honesty room where you can borrow books, a huge selection of DVDs, games, toys and visitor information. The owners live on site and are there to help as much (or as little!) as you want.

Each cottage has been named after birds that are regularly seen flying overhead, and are perfectly located to enjoy the best of both worlds at any time of the year - the peace of the countryside and the amenities and activities of the city. As well as being only 4 miles from Stirling city centre, it’s only 5 miles to the motorway junction for surprisingly quick journey times to Edinburgh, Perth and Glasgow and all their facilities. Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park is 20 miles away and the mountains to the north or the beautiful sea lochs to the west are all within a 2 hour drive. There are numerous golf courses locally and even the Gleneagles course is only 35 minutes’ away. For walks the choice is endless and one of the best cliff-top walks in central Scotland starts right at the cottages! Stirling is a vibrant but compact university city offering wonderful attractions, including an incredible castle, the amazing Wallace Monument, the historic Church of the Holy Rude and even ghost tours. There are restaurants to suit all tastes, swimming pools, sport centres, multiplex cinema, theatre, museum, pubs and shops. The best bit is that Stirling is very much a year round destination. The perfect place for the perfect holiday! Shops, pubs and restaurants 4 miles.

Excellent property. Owner very helpful.It was nice not to feel that you had to wash everything before you used it.Good selection of material (Books, Guides, DVDs and B-rays) in the honesty room.Lovely view from bedroom.Only negative item to mention (which I forgot to tell owner) was that the clock in the kitchen had stopped and probably needed a new battery.Would definitely recommend the property.

Ideal spot, quiet and central for many good days out and abundant wildlife, we managed a quick photo of the Osprey too. Welcoming hosts.

This was, by far, the best cottage weâ€™ve ever rented! My partner and I have always rented cottages rather than hotels, and this was the cleanest, nicest, best located cottage weâ€™ve ever stayed in. The views were incredible, the hosts were so friendly and even left a welcome package containing cheese, butter, milk, eggs, biscuits, chocolate and a bottle of Prosecco! We had such a fabulous time here and would definitely stay again. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic 4 day, last minute break at Kestrel Cottage, Osprey Hideaways, Stirling.Fabulous cottage, clean, cosy, tastefully done out with everything you could need. The views from french doors in bedroom, across the loch are ever changing and spectacular as are the walks and scenery around said loch, and on a clear night the star  gazing is not to be missed ✨✨George, the owner is welcoming, funny, friendly and on hand if required. The very generous welcome pack was much appreciated as was the robes and slippers. All in all a superb cottage with a home from home feel in a spectacular location. A fantastic base to explore Stirling and beyond.Would definitely recommend to family and friends and hope to return in the near future. 10/10  Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
