Beautiful sunset and morning scenery!
We loved our stay at Ardcana, and wish we'd booked more nights there - both because Skye is spectacular and because the accommodation was so lovely. The Loft had INCREDIBLE views, we enjoyed the most gorgeous sunset on our balcony, which really set the perfect tone for our trip through the Highlands. Thank you for a great stay!

This was a welcome change to our 2+ weeks in hotels. It was beautiful. Extremely comfortable and had every special touch you can imagine. We stayed in the Marble unit and the tub, toiletries, bed and window treatment/video screen were all divine!

Beautiful cottage with thoughtful and beautiful decor. Touches like a flashlight attached to the bed frame, heated floors, towel warmer. Lovely views of the sea, This place exceeded expectations,
Bonus is that we stumbled upon Red Skye Restaurant right up the road and it was our best meal in Scotland.

Gorgeous Stay
Absolutely gorgeous location and luxurious, stylish accommodations. The cabin we stayed in was clean, comfortable and well thought out. It felt very private but was easy to find and in an area of the town that made a grocery run or an adventure easily accessible.

Enjoyable stay in Skye! We stayed at the Ardcana for two nights and had a lovely time. Thoughtful touches throughout, (including a bottle of wine in the fridge!) and the amenities were lovely. For a luxury cabin stay at this price point we were a bit disspointed with the view and the cleanliness (there was a dead fly on the oven range and cobwebs on some of the upper walls). But overall very enjoyable stay!

Simply Outstanding.
Don't go by the over- or under-photoshopped pics. The place is extremely comfortable, well-sized, with a plush bathroom, all imaginable amenities, the nicest kitchen we have seen, and amazing views. Please don't forget to gaze at the stars at night.
We stayed in the Learach room. Since this is the located the "lowest" of all cabins, it gets the least amount of afternoon / evening sun and limited views of the water from outside, but we didn't mind.

We had an excellent stay at this cabin on the Isle of Skye. It was incredibly warm and cosy, making it the perfect retreat after a day of exploring. The views across the water were absolutely stunning – a true highlight of the stay. Highly recommend this peaceful getaway for anyone looking to unwind in nature!

This a beautiful location right near the ocean. We could sit on the porch and watch the sunset over the mountains and ocean. The apartment was well stocked and smelled amazing. We LOVED the bathroom. Perfect romantic getaway!!!

The unit was nicely decorated and the view was phenomenal from the unit we stayed in. We had issues with the hot water and the plumber did arrive promptly. He said the issue stemmed from some settings in a thermostat - which we did touch,

The Loft at Ardcana is so awesome. The living and dining area are so comfortable and spacious. The cookware are in good condition that we enjoyed cooking there very much. The owner has good taste of the interior design. Plus, the linens, amenities and towels are so comfortable and full of favours. The Loft would be a core reason that we would re-visit Highland.

Amazing View and Elegant Furnishings - Just Perfec
Hands down, the most beautiful place we've stayed in some time. Pictures do not do it justice. The view is spectacular, furnishings are so well appointed, the tub is to die for, heated flooring - just wonderful stay. Coffee and tea supplied and a nice welcome gift of wine greeted us upon arrival. Host quick to respond and I wish we could have stayed one more night.

This exquisite property sits overlooking the shore at Lower Breakish, Isle of Skye. We enjoyed the Adirondack Chairs overlooking the water and the modern, natural decor was so well done that I took pictures to incorporate into my new house. The copper soaking tub was a hit as was the projection screen for late night movies. Everything we needed was there, from wine & whiskey glasses to a French Press for morning coffee or tea. Can you tell? I was truly impressed.

As the kids are with the grand parents, i decided to take wife away for a night. i messaged Danni first as we had the dog and they did not mention pet friendly. the response was perfect. Told me thats not normally the pet friendly one but as long as we kept toby off the soft furnishings it would be fine.
Upon arrival i parked the car within 6ft of the door so easy if you have lots of bags. the cabin was huge for 2 but was amazing, from the window that turns into a projector screen ti the roll top bath. Having lived on skye 20 years ago i have always loved the views but ardcana has captured it perfectly from the dining table with the picture window to the bedrooms view that you can gaze across the water whilst falling asleep.
pricing is spot on for what you get and would highly recommend this as your next stay.
only negative i have is the was no guest info, i may of missed this in the emails but would be good to have some info on how the host likes the place left. available when you arrive.
