Osprey Hideaways

Osprey Hideaways Boutique self-catering accomodation in rural Stirlingshire Although North Third Trout Fishery is closed you are still able to fish for wild brown trout.

Osprey Hideaways is a family run business set in a truly stunning rural, yet central, Stirlingshire location. There are five luxury 1 and 2 bedroom courtyard cottages with incredible views across North Third Reservoir. Each cottage is named after birds we regularly see here - osprey, peregrine, kestrel, buzzard and barn owl. We are perfectly located in the countyside where you can enjoy the peace

and quiet, long walks straight from your front door or even casting a line in our private reservoir. The cottages are beautifully furnished with cosy lounges, king-sized beds, luxury linen and bathrobes, power showers and/or baths, flat screen TV, blu-ray players, free DVD library - infact everything you need for a truly relaxing holiday. The central heating is gas fired and all heating and electricity costs are included in the rental. You can enjoy the best of both worlds; the peace and quiet of the countryside or the hustle and bustle of the city as we are ideally situated with easy access to Stirling, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Perth. Although the setting is very peaceful and rural we are only 5 miles from the motorway junction. Better still, we are only 4.5 miles from Stirling and its great choice of restaurants, pubs, shops, cinema, theatre and arguably the best castle in Scotland. Stirling really is a fantastic centre with something for all tastes. Best of all, nearly everything is open all year round and if you want to see the "big city lights" then Edinburgh and Glasgow are surprisingly quick and easy to get to for the day. All this means that Osprey Hideaways is the perfect destination, no matter which month of the year you want to come. We love where we live and look forward to sharing it with you.

A very different view looking at the stunning cliffs framing Osprey Hideaways and North Third. I’ve lived here 30 years and this was a first for me. So fortunate to live in Carron Valley and yet only 15 minutes to the centre of Stirling.

We enjoy welcoming our new guests but this was a very different little guest this morning! Over the past few years the local hares have decided that Osprey Hideaways is a safe and welcoming space for them too. So if guests look out of a morning they might just see this wee guy

And when little Muppet is not enjoying the comforts of the cottage courtyard, you’ll find her tucked up in bed toasty warm in her wood pile! Not a bad life for a rescued stray cat
