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.

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.

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….

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...

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

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!

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 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!
