About this property

Oran Na Mara, Waternish

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.

Amazing Getaway

Walking into this home was a treat, it smelled fresh and clean, was beautifully decorated and well appointed with everything we could possibly want. Bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and the included toiletries were lovely. Beds were comfortable, bedding very nice and our stay was peaceful and perfect. We particularly enjoyed the sunsets from our deck and the deer grazing in our front yard. Owners provided lots of local knowledge and recommendations. Definitely a highlight of our trip.

Utterly amazing

Second time we have stayed here - location is amazing …. Scenery on a clear day is incredible. The house is immaculate and has everything you could possibly want. Log fire is a must on blustery days! Highly recommend….

Wonderful house, fantastic views

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.

Loved the location with water views and convenience of dinner at Stein Inn. Kitchen and baths have everything you need. Coffee tea and sugar. Drive north to Trumpan. Beautiful views. Wish we’d been able to stay much longer to relax and enjoy more of Skye!

Great house in a beautiful setting

We had 3 days on Skye, this house was a perfect home base for us. The winds could howl outside and we felt peace and comfort inside. Appointed extremely well with thoughtful design and architecture. Beautiful views and a great feeling of isolation

Well-designed house in a great location with a perfect view

We had a wonderful family stay here: 3 private rooms with separate bathrooms to relax, big kitchen and living room to enjoy family evenings, amazing location to create new memories while hiking, cycling or just enjoying the Skye...

Idyllic Stay on the Isle of Skye

We had an amazing four-night stay at this beautiful place! The house was everything we had hoped for. The kitchen was very well equipped, making it easy to prepare meals while enjoying the beautiful views. Each room was spacious and comfortable. Our host was attentive and provided clear instructions for check-in. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to experience the beauty of the Isle of Skye in comfort and style! We can’t wait to return.

A beautiful property in a beautiful area

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!

A slice of heaven

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!

Incredible luxury home with the best views

Gorgeous and magical. The best views. There was a red deer and her two fawns nibbling on the grass right outside our window on our final morning in the house. We felt tucked away in this lovely home. Check-in process was easy and the home was clean and luxurious. Each of the three bedrooms has its own full bathroom. The windows allow all the beauty of skye into the home. We loved it here.

Great Stay

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!

I only wish I had more time.,.

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!
