A thoroughly enjoyable stay. Will definitely be back.
Pros:

Owners Des and Sinead could not have been more welcoming, it really was home from home. Nothing was too much trouble and they went above and beyond to make our stay a relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable experience.
The hotel was spotlessly clean and from walking in through the front door, smelt divine.
Rooms were again spotlessly clean with beautiful decor.
Breakfasts were beautifully presented and were delicious.
It is an ideal location within easy walking distance to amenities, including places to eat, small supermarket and stunning walks.
We cannot recommend The Osprey highly enough.

Cons:

Nothing. There wasn't anything to dislike.

Pros:

The owners,Des and Sinead, were very welcoming and friendly. They go out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We had a lovely room overlooking the park. They made a big fuss of our dog including plenty of treats. The crowning glory was Sinead"s wonderful breakfast. Highly recommend.

Osprey hotel
Pros:

It was very clean and comfortable

Cons:

No place to dry towels as it was a working weekend, we shower in the morning and at night. Unpleasant to dry yourself with a damp towel.
Unfortunately breakfast wasn't served till 8 am, and we leave well before that time in the morning.

Pros:

Sinead received us in the afternoon, and made us a delicious a-la-carte breakfast the next morning. The hotel is small and personal, neat and atmospheric. Best value we had on our trip to Schotland.
