The OSPREY
Be the first to book into our newest Eco Bothy and enjoy an authentic taste of Scottish Coorie. Choosing the Osprey for your eco friendly retreat means you can sleep soundly knowing the only footprint you'll leave is in the earth.
Constructed by local architects to our exacting specifications, the Osprey showcases cutting edge eco-technology and the latest in off-grid passive building principles.
Set against the hillside in harmony with the landscape, the mezzanine platform is the perfect location for taking in the view or spotting Red Kites, Deer and the ever-elusive Ospreys. Watch the sun going down over the Glen Kens and the Moon rising over the water from the panoramic window. Enjoy a soak in your private hot tub and complete your day by slipping into luxurious Egyptian Cotton sheets.
FAcilities
The Osprey balances luxury with environmental awareness and offers five-star facilities in an eco friendly design. It's powered by a solar farm, locally sourced wood and is built with modern living in mind. With rain showers, all the hot water you could need and an innovative hanging wood-burner you'll be cosy and warm whatever the season. Complete with a fully fitted kitchen and appliances, the Osprey is stocked with everything you need to cater for your family. There are three immaculately furnished, en-suite double rooms on the ground floor and a sofa bed in the upstairs area allowing plenty of space for 6-8 people to holiday in style and luxury. With no TV or WiFi the Osprey provides the ultimate eco friendly retreat.
Activities
The Bothies are linked to the Galloway Activity Centre where you'll find a host of family-friendly activities - try your hand at windsurfing or let the kids burn off some steam with a game of laser tag! The Osprey comes with its own boat shed kitted out with a pair of kayaks and two paddle boards - perfect for spending a lazy afternoon cruising along the water. The bothy is situated on the edge of the Galloway Dark Skies park, with the overhead windows on the mezzanine giving the perfect location for stargazing, and there's nothing like watching the Milky Way from your hot tub with a glass of champagne at the end of the day.
