The cottage offers level access throughout the ground floor, where you’ll find three comfortable twin bedrooms—one with its own en-suite shower room—along with a generous open-plan dining area, kitchen, and utility space. A key feature of the cottage is its fully accessible wet room, complete with a roll-in shower and support rails, ensuring ease and comfort for guests with limited mobility or those using a wheelchair. Wide doorways, smooth flooring, and the spacious layout create a relaxed and barrier-free environment for all.

Surrounded by ancient woodland and nestled just off a quiet single-track road, Osprey Cottage offers a truly tranquil retreat. Wildlife is a regular visitor, with red squirrels, deer, and birds frequently seen in the enclosed garden, making this not only an accessible stay but a nature lover’s dream. The upstairs gallery sitting room provides a cosy space to take in the views, while the large garden offers the perfect spot to unwind with a book or enjoy a summer barbecue.

Located near the charming village of Boat of Garten, the cottage is well placed for exploring the local area. The village offers welcoming pubs and eateries, as well as scenic paths suitable for wheelchairs and adapted bikes. The wider area is home to a range of attractions with inclusive access. The Highland Wildlife Park at Kincraig provides an unforgettable day out and has excellent accessibility throughout. Just a short distance away, the Cairngorm Reindeer Centre invites visitors of all abilities to meet and learn about the UK’s only free-ranging herd of reindeer, with level access and friendly guides on hand to help.
