Welcoming you into the property is the living room with a large window allowing light to pour in and providing a picturesque view over the countryside beyond. Two large sofas face a TV with a cosy, little wood burner creating an inviting area to kick back and relax with a good book or enjoy a movie night together. The kitchen/diner is a charming space with a table seating four and plenty of space to prepare a meal come breakfast, lunch or dinner with more magnificent views over the loch. On the ground floor there are two bedrooms – a double and a twin. Both rooms feature matching furniture and large windows. Completing the ground floor is a family bathroom with a shower over the bath so you can choose to have a long soak or an invigorating shower.

Outside is a large, enclosed lawn which is a great place for dogs to run and play whilst for the humans, there is a seating area where you can sit and marvel over the views of Loch Bracadale.

With an abundance of local wildlife, the town of Ose is a great spot for sitting back and enjoying a slower pace of life, keeping your eyes peeled for seals, otters and sea eagles. There is an abundance of walking trails from here ranging from narrow paths to wide stretches where dogs can run wild and free. For a day out, Dunvegan (7 miles) has a magnificent Castle and Gardens which dogs are welcome to explore on a lead, as well as the island’s oldest bakery and a few small family-owned restaurants for a special meal.

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

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.

3 stars. Picturesque location. Clean cosy cottage. Would benefit from, new and improved kitchen equipment, knives, pots and pans etc. Needs a clothes horse and mop and bucket (Skye's lovely but it does rain and get muddy).
