As the days grow shorter and another season at Osdale winds down, Lucy and I find ourselves reflecting on another great year. Can you believe 2024 will be our fifth year? Here are five things we’ve discovered along the way:
Trust
Most importantly, we recognise the trust you place in us when choosing Osdale and will never take that for granted. Booking direct gives us the opportunity to communicate with you easily, help plan the holiday you want and offer you the best prices without any commission charges. You can find out more about us here.

Location Location Location
Heading up the track and catching that first glimpse of the cottages against the backdrop of Macleod’s Tables coupled with the views, silence, and peacefulness that surround you on arrival makes for a captivating place. It’s these things that makes Osdale such a special place. The quality of the cottages is just the icing on the cake.

The Perfect Retreat
Skye’s weather can be wild, there’s no denying it, so on those wet and windy days a warm and comfortable retreat becomes the heart of your holiday. Hence why we provide you with a home from home, both at the Farmhouse and Byre, where you can embrace the rainy days.
Exceptional Guests
Osdale attracts the best guests and as a result, we feel incredibly fortunate to host you and your dogs. Hikers, nature lovers and foodies all find this an exceptional place to be. There’s plenty for you to do on Skye. A good introduction to Skye activities can be found here, great walks here and we give all our guests the full lowdown on places to eat from takeaways to award-winning restaurants.
A Place for All Seasons
While summer takes centre stage, the appeal of an Autumn or Winter break at Osdale is growing. The golden hues of Autumn are breath-taking, and with most establishments open, it’s an ideal time for a getaway. Osdale in January or February is the perfect retreat, promising slow mornings, invigorating walks and crackling fires. Autumn and Winter are both excellent for star-gazing and spotting the Aurora Borealis.
