Osprey Boathouse

About this property

Osprey Boathouse is a spectacular lodge set on the shores of Loch Tay in Killin, Stirling, with off-road parking, a private hot tub, and full-height windows looking across the water towards Glen Lyon and Kenmore. Designed in a striking boathouse style, this single-storey retreat is ideal for couples seeking somewhere memorable to spend time together, with the loch forming part of the setting from the moment you arrive. Inside, the main living space unfolds as one open room, bringing cooking, dining, sitting and sleeping together in the style of a loft apartment. At one end, the king-size bed is raised on its platform, while at the other, a woodburning stove creates a natural focal point as evening draws in.

Between the two, the kitchen is neatly arranged for laid-back meals, with the dining area positioned to make the most of the water views. Full-height glazing brings the light deep into the room and keeps Loch Tay constantly in sight, whether you are eating, reading, or simply watching the weather move across the landscape. Underfloor heating adds warmth beneath your feet, while the bathroom offers both a walk-in shower and a bath placed for taking in the outlook across the loch. Outside, the decking extends the sense of being over the water, with furniture arranged for lingering mornings and a hot tub that looks straight onto the loch.

This is a place shaped by its setting, where the changing light, wide views and passing wildlife all become part of the stay. From the boathouse, head into Killin for essentials, a stroll by the river, and time spent soaking up the village atmosphere. Follow the lochside towards Kenmore, which sits in the distance from your window, and take in the long sweep of Loch Tay as it stretches through the landscape. Look across towards Glen Lyon, where the backdrop adds depth to every view from the property. Guests with an eye for outdoor pursuits can also make the most of trout fishing rights during their stay.

However you choose to spend your time, Osprey Boathouse is a remarkable base for Loch Tay. Note: This property can be booked with refs. 1204780, 1192286, 1204781, 1192287, 1192288, 1192289, 1204782, 1204783, 1204785, 1204786, and 1204787, together sleeping up to 36 guests.

The village of Killin, on the edge of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, in the area of Breadalbane, sits across the stunning Falls of Dochart and has been settled since ancient times. Cup markings on rocks and stone circles tell of an ancient race that inhabited this area. Christianity came to Breadalbane in the 8th century with St Fillan with the Mill bearing his name and St Fillan’s Day held on the 3rd Tuesday in January. The village is strongly associated with two renowned clans, Clan Campbell and Clan MacNab. Finlarig Castle, to the north of the village, was the Campbell stronghold and the MacNabs have their ancient burial ground of Inchbuie near the bridge over the falls. Killin today is a popular tourist destination, due in no small part to the use of the falls in various films and television programmes. The village today has a varied selection of shops, bars and restaurants and watersports are available on nearby Loch Tay. Ideal for walking, Killin has Ben Lawers, the highest of the surrounding Bens, to the north and Ben More and Stobinian to the west.
