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.

Beautiful Location

The property was exactly as advertised. Check in was very smooth and the views are terrific. The property is located off of an one lane road, which takes a little patience and concentration but is completely doable. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

This property is incredible! The views are stunning, especially if you can catch them on a rare, sunny day. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our stay. We liked that it was close enough to Neist Point and the Trotternish peninsula. Skye is a special place, and this home, with its floor to ceiling windows, is a perfect place to soak it all in!

An incredible house at a stunning location. The views from all the windows are incredible. Modern, clean, spacious, and super comfortable. Nearby Stein Inn for dinner was great. Can't say enough good things about Oran Na Mara. It might seem kind of remote to some, but we loved that. It was easy to find and a very doable drive to all the hikes we wanted to do. Only wish we could have stayed longer.

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.

Great house in a beautiful setting

Best ever!!!

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!

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!

Heavenly!

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!

Perfect getaway

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.

The perfect home from home

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.

Great vista on Isle of Skye

This remote property provides beautiful vistas, a cosy. modern well-stocked abode. We had a fantastic stay. Improvements could be made by providing a wireless Bluetooth speaker for music and making it clear that each appliance needs to be turned on by switch before the ipad instructions will be meaningful. Really appreciated having a few basics supplied (paper towel, dish soap, s&P and olive oil and vinegar). Thank you for a wonderful stay

Isle of Skye - Great getaway spot

Great location with a beautiful view of the bay and other islands. Perfect for a relaxing "get away from it all" vacation but still easy enough to go exploring other parts of the Isle of Skye. The house was very clean and had lots of space for 6 people. Communication and check-in worked perfectly.
