Bring the Music 🎶

There’s something magical about sitting in a cosy pub, sipping a drink, and listening to local musicians play - an evening you won’t want to miss, and one you won’t forget. We have details in our digital guidebook.

The Best View: Right from your Chair?

The views from Osdale are one of our Guests’ favourite things about us. It’s not difficult to see why. It’s hard to peel yourself away and see the rest of the island, but if you do, you’ll find east access to walks, beaches and the famous Skye landscapes.

Dog-Friendly Walks on Skye

Skye is an adventure playground for dogs, but with sheep around knowing good off-lead spots is a must.

Being dog owners, we’ve got recommendations for you in our digital guidebook.

Your dog can run free and you can admire the stunning scenery without being wrapped up in a dog lead.

We send our guide on booking, so book now and you can start planning your trip straight away. Link in Bio for availability and booking.

Skye’s Sealife

Boat trips offer a front-row seat to the dramatic coast line around the Isle of Skye and some amazing wildlife.

You may be lucky enough to see:

🐬 Dolphins - they are a special sight, especially if they play in the boat’s wake.
🦭 Seals – lounging on the rocks or heads bobbing in the sea, keeping a close eye.
🦅 Eagles - Sea Eagles are more likely than Golden Eagles, soaring above the cliffs.
🐳 Whales - occasionally you may see minke whales or even orcas
🦦 Otters - found along quieter shorelines
🐧 Puffins – nesting on cliffs and islands, you can’t help smiling if you spot them
🐟 Porpoises - relatives of dolphins, quieter and often on their own or in pairs
🕊️ Gannets - they would definitely win an Olympic gold for their diving!

If you’re a keen photographer, a nature enthusiast, or simply want to see Skye from another perspective, you’ll love a boat trip.

To help our guests, our digital guide includes details of many boat operators (some take dogs too). You’ll receive this guide upon booking, allowing you to reserve your seats early and avoid the disappointment of fully booked boats.

How many have you spotted on Skye? I haven’t seen an Orca yet. I’ll let you know when I do

A special place

As you make your way up the Osdale track you can't help but be awed by Macleod's Tables. They provide the perfect backdrop to this highland retreat.

The location is stunning - utterly peaceful with far-reaching views spanning from Dunvegan over towards the Cuillin. Your only neighbours are the grazing sheep, occasional cattle and our other cottage 80 metres away.

Skye’s Natural Larder

We are lucky to have many local food producers on Skye. From local lobster to beef, sea salt to Scottish tablet it’s all there to be discovered.

As a visitor to the island it can be hard to tap into the local knowledge you need to find these things. That’s why we include local producers in our digital guidebook.

You can pick up lobster straight from the boat, enjoy salad leaves grown a few miles from Osdale or select a sweet treat from one of Skye’s honesty boxes.

And at Osdale you have a fully equipped kitchen to cook up a feast. There’s no skimping on the kitchen equipment here.

The perfect tonic

The views from Osdale.

It is such a treat to sit and admire this view but sadly I never seem to have enough time or the right weather. I think I need to book myself in for a week!

We still have one week left in August and a cancellation in the first week of September. You can get 10% off these dates with the voucher code Summer2024.

It's finally here

Since March 2019 we have been keen to create a private outdoor space for dogs in each cottage. It's finally happened!

Our two cottages sit within the same outdoor space, being about 80 metres apart. Fine for a dog that’s not reactive and knows not to wander off to the other cottage. My Dalmatian was neither of these things so I knew a private outdoor space was key for a relaxing holiday

And we have finally got there

Both cottages still share the communal area at the front, but at the rear each has its own private area. This allows dogs to run freely, safe in the knowledge that unfamiliar dogs and people cannot approach them.

So if that was holding you back now’s the time to think about booking a stay with us.

Great cottages, great views, great for dogs and great hosts. Click the link in our bio to visit our website and book online

Take them with you!

‘Osdale Byre is the most dog-friendly accommodation we have stayed in’

‘countless thoughtful details and this was extended to our dog’

‘our dogs were made to feel very welcome with treats, bowls, throws to protect the sofas and towels’

‘great for dogs with a lovely large garden’

Why go on holiday without the dog when you can take them with you?

If you want an autumnal or winter escape with your dog then book your stay at Osdale. You won’t be disappointed.

Who’s Who?

It's been a while since we showed our faces on here and I'm not sure we've ever told you who's who. So here we are with a brief explanation of what we both do at Osdale.

As you may know we’re sisters, Lucy and Anne, and have owned Osdale Cottages for nearly five years now. Osdale is our first holiday cottage business and the first time we’ve worked together. (With hardly any cross words would you believe!)

I (Anne) have a home on Skye but spend time in Oxfordshire too. I’m the one who responds to your emails or speaks to you on the phone, as I manage all our bookings.

Lucy lives full time on Skye and it’s most likely Lucy you’ll see when you stay with us. She ensures our cottages are always at their very best for you and is on hand to help with any queries or problems during your time here.

Guests choose Osdale because of it's stunning location and our characterful cottages. But isn't it good to know you have two friendly hosts too?
