1 / 21Archie's Cottage
Ose, Isle of Skye
A three bedroom cottage for six at Ose on Skye's west coast, with views over Loch Bracadale, a track from the gate to the shore, a large enclosed lawn and three dogs welcome.
A track runs from the main gate at Archie's Cottage down to the shore, and it is a walk the dogs will want every day: seals, otters and sea eagles can all be seen in this part of Skye. The cottage behind the gate sleeps six in the sleepy township of Ose, and it is dog friendly on a generous scale, with three dogs welcome and a spacious enclosed garden with a large lawn.
A porch takes the coats and boots, the kitchen diner looks out over Loch Bracadale and seats the family for planning sessions, and the lounge has a big window onto the countryside, comfortable sofas, and a wood burner that roars on through the evening. Two bedrooms and the family bathroom are on the ground floor, with a third double and its en suite upstairs. Out on the lawn, three dogs have room for full scale manoeuvres.
Ose lies on Skye's west coast between Dunvegan and Struan, and the garden has a seating area for taking in the views, with Loch Bracadale spread out from the rear. The shoreline within a mile is the daily fixture, and the dogs will learn the tide times before you do.
Dunvegan is 7 miles away, with independent shops, Skye's oldest bakery, restaurants and an art gallery, and Dunvegan Castle and Gardens to explore; another 5 miles on, a walk leads down to the Coral Beach at Claigan. Portree, the island's capital, has shops, cafes and the Fingal Centre, but it is the track to the shore that fills the dogs' mornings.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Archie's Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, and genuinely so — Archie's Cottage welcomes up to three dogs. There's a large enclosed lawn giving them room to roam safely, a porch for muddy coats and boots after adventures, and a track leading straight from the gate down to the shore for those essential morning walks.
Are dogs allowed at Archie's Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, and with a shoreline on the doorstep and wildlife like seals, otters and sea eagles to enjoy whatever the season, it's set up as a year-round retreat. We'd recommend confirming directly with the owner if you have specific dates in mind.
What should I know before visiting Archie's Cottage with my dog?
The cottage takes up to three dogs, so it's well suited to multi-dog households or groups travelling together. The garden lawn is enclosed and spacious, and the track to the shore is right there from the main gate — though it's worth knowing the area is home to wildlife including otters and sea eagles, so a bit of calm on those walks will pay off.
