The cottage is nestled in the sleepy township of Ose, which lies on the west coast of the Isle of Skye between Dunvegan and Struan. The wildlife in this area is extensive and a track leads from the main gate down to the shore where seals, otters and sea eagles can be seen. The village of Dunvegan is 7 miles away and has independent shops, Skye’s oldest bakery, restaurants, an art gallery and gift shops. Explore Dunvegan Castle and Gardens or enjoy a walk down to the Coral Beach in Claigan, just north of Dunvegan by another 5 miles. The island's capital of Portree is 14 miles away and has a selection of supermarkets, shops, cafes, restaurants and excellent leisure facilities including the Fingal Centre with a swimming pool and gym.

 On entering this beautiful home, step into the handy porch where you can hang up your coats and kick off your boots after a long walk. Head through to the kitchen/diner which is fully equipped to cook up a storm with an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave and washing machine. Set the table and enjoy a family meal whilst planning your next adventures. The lounge has a big window overlooking the countryside and comfortable sofas to relax on after a day out exploring the local area – enjoy a movie on the Smart TV with Freeview. On those cooler evenings, curl up in front of the roaring wood burner and warm cold toes. Continuing through the hallway on the ground floor you will find two bedrooms, the first is a double bedroom and the second is a twin bedroom. There is a family bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC on the ground floor too. Heading upstairs you will find another double bedroom which benefits from an en-suite shower room with WC.

Venturing outside, there is a spacious, enclosed garden with a large lawn, perfect for children to play and burn off some energy. There is a seating area where you can relax and take in the views. From the rear garden, you can sit and enjoy stunning views of Loch Bracadale. There is parking on the driveway for two cars.

Cosy cottage with spectacular ocean view. Well nested in Ose with all you need for a home stay during your vacation.

Decent cottage and plenty big enough fir the sleep 6 rating. It's clean, has decent furniture, it's warm enough but the bathroom may struggle in winter as the floor is quite cold. The property is set back from a main A road so there is a bit of passing traffic, parking is fine. We didn't find anywhere to eat out within 10 miles and the nearest shopRead more is miles away. The only negatives I can say is outside needs a bit of maintenance, the TV performs a balancing act and could easily fall off. Hide

Beautiful cottage, not the best location as nearest eating place was 5/6 miles away. Massive enclosed garden but the main gate had not netting to keep my small dogs in.

We were very comfortable in Mairi's Cottage. It was clean and well equipped. Only thing I can think of that I'd have liked is a nice wee butter knife in the cutlery drawer.

Ideal base to explore Skye. The beds and sofas are very comfortable, theres everything you need for a family with a couple of dogs - we had small dogs so we took them out on leads in the garden as there are gaps in the fence they could escape through.

We loved our stay - a comfortable, well equipped and relaxed cottage and an excellent location for exploring the whole of Skye. Enclosed garden was safe for our small dog. Seeing seals and dolphins from the kitchen window was a bonus! Ken was very helpful and quick to respond.

Had a lovely break however we do feel as though the cottage would benefit from some attention. It was comfortable enough but there were many areas that could do with some upgrading or fixing - broken floor tiles, rusty fittings and broken bed. The cottage however is in a lovely location and the view is amazing - it just needs a little bit of love.
