About this house rental
This 3 bedroom house is what Skye is all about. Oran Na Mara in Waternish is a newer dwelling built with comfort in mind and making the best of it's position, with incredible views to the Outer Hebrides.
The open plan kitchen and dining room give a feeling of space and the main living area is a real delight. Although it has central heating it also has a log burner that provides a sense of cosiness and solace no matter what the weather is doing outside.
Waternish is a well loved and very popular area on Skye.
There are local places to visit and Loch Bay, a Michelin Starred restaurant is 1.5 miles away, next to the oldest pub on Skye, called the Stein Inn.
If you are looking to get away from it all and enjoy a classy living space, look no further.

The house is great, the view is amazing. The overall equipment ist on a very high standard.
A small problem was solved quick and uncomplicated by the host.
The only two small things that kept it from being perfect are a worn out mattress (double bed on the top floor) and a humming noise (some electronic device) that could be annoying at night.
We enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recommend it to others!

Wow! What an incredible view, and such a beautiful property with all the comforts of home. Like previous reviews have mentioned, Skyeskyns, Stein Inn, and Loch Bay are close by, making it almost unnecessary to leave the local area. We will definitely treasure our memories of this beautiful place. Thank you very much!

A gorgeous house that was so comfortable with everything you could wish for (except a hairdryer - a small point however)
The views are stunning and the property is ideally situated for the Stein Inn and Loch Bay restaurant, both highly recommended. Make sure you book the restaurant WELL in advance, the next booking when we were there was in about four weeks time
Thank you for a great stay on Skye!

If you really want to experience Skye, this is the place! The house and view are incredible. If I could move, this is where I’d go. Everything we wanted to do, we did from this location. We did day trips and it was always wonderful to come home to our special piece of Skye, even for the few nights we were there.
Go to the Yurt for coffee and pastry. Stop by and tour Skye Skins and then go upstairs and buy one!!!!
Can’t say enough about the home and location!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The house was beautiful, clean and comfy, a perfect place for a family of 5 adults. The view, even when the weather was overcast, was sensational. Would love to return someday.

This rental was beautiful, modern, and clean. I only wish we had more time to enjoy it. The only piece of feedback I have is that we needed a fan. We were only there for two nights, so didn’t ask the host, but I’m sure if we did it would have been supplied. Thanks for a beautiful stay!

Loved this house. What a lovely property as tidy as tidy could be. Lovely inside and out. Triple pane windows and architecture made the house nearly silent. New, fresh, modern but with a stunning view of the ancient coast and islands. Would stay again for a moth. Property manager/owner was very responsive before and during the stay, This is a premium property and a very quiet corner for the Island. Cannot say enough good things about this place.

It is difficult to put in to words how fabulous this house was, it felt like home. On arrival the external appearance fills you with confidence that inside is going to be good. It does not prepare you for how good it is going to be. The facilities and specification in this home is high and is well thought out, The detail in planning of layout of each room and it’s use is really impressive. The views are wonderful and fill your heart and feed your soul. Everything is just so easy to use and the standards of cleanliness was really remarkable. The seating just invited you to relax and the beds assured great night sleep. The tablet which provided information of the house, surrounding areas, where to eat and paces to visit was genius idea. Does away with those horrid folders crammed with leaflets you don’t want to touch. We had dreadful weather and this house just welcomed you home. I have been holidaying for many years in the UK and many many times in Skye; this house is the best I have experienced. It really is special. One word, outstanding

It’s my second visit with family to Isle of Skye. It is well worth the drive to this property as the views are absolutely stunning. The property was new and had every modern feature available. Great communication with the host and manager as well.

We had a wonderfully, relaxing time in this home. It's off the beaten track which meant a farther drive, but it was well worth the serenity and seclusion of this beautiful home. From the moment you walk in, you'll be at peace with the tranquil views and sleek, modern home. My family of 6 felt at home throughout our stay. One of the highlights of our Scotland trip!

The first thing my friends from the US said when we got in was, “can we just cancel the rest of the holiday and stay here instead!” Every detail was carefully looked into. Even during bad weather , we loved lounging and having conversation over a glass of wine, whilst taking in the painterly scenery. Ben has been very helpful and responsive during the booking as well. Can’t wait to return!

Perfect Isle of Skye getaway
The house was amazing, the views even better. The property was clean, modern...the layout was ideal for our group of friends, with great downstairs gathering places, and the bedrooms were spacious and had great views as well. This property was the nicest we stayed in during our 12 day trek in Scotland - highly recommend!!!!

Wonderful house on a beautiful location
The house is great, although further away on the island, the views make up for everything. Some recommendations for the bedrooms and kitchen can be shared differently.

Top accommodation on Skye!
Beautifully appointed cottage with everything you need and more to enjoy a holiday on Skye. Exceptional customer service and attention to detail. Comfortable and bright even on a dreary day. High end appliances and a real washer and dryer! By far one of our favorite places we’ve stayed at.

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying in this gorgeous property. It s exactly as it appears in the photos on the website and is the most well-stocked rental home we have ever stayed in, including towels, cleaning products and even lovely scented bath products. Our experience with the rental manager was also excellent- very high quality service and responsive to every request. We asked for a barbecue and they not only ensured one was provided they also provided the materials to light it. They even had a bottle of wine waiting for us on arrival. I would highly recommend this property to anyone who wants quality and comfort for their stay on the Isle of Skye.

Honeymoon Get away
Me and my husband booked this for our honeymoon as we’ve always wanted to visit Skye, and this accommodation did not disappoint. Absolutely beautiful inside and the views from open plan living space were just fantastic. It is immaculately furnished and so clean. Location wise, we loved it as the Loch Bay restaurant and Stein inn were very close by and not far to drive to Dunvegan Castle and Portree for a little look around.
we’ll definitely be booking again.
