Very well presented property, stunning surroundings.

Communication from the owner was very poor, no response to any messages prior to my stay and I had to ring to find out which cabin I was stopping in and how to collect my keys.

This was by far the most expensive accommodation I’ve booked while working in and around the whole of Scotland for the last 3 year and I would have expected the check in to be flawless for the price paid.

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.

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!

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!

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 property is amazing. Just as pictured. It is a bit remote as it is off the main roadway a bit but that is part of what I loved. The views from the porch were gorgeous. I only had one need to contact the property manager about a question but was responded to very quickly.

Would absolutely stay here again.

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

We loved our stay here. The picture window looking over the water was beautiful. The cabin was wonderfully simple and yet held all we needed. I had tried to book it for 4 nights but it was only available for 2 when we were there. I would have gladly booked it for all 4 and if we ever return to Skye we will definitely look ahead of time to book all our nights here again. Loved its eco friendliness as well!

A cabin style with full kitchen. We enjoyed the stay but felt it’s overpriced. There’s nothing around the area and not walking distance to get your groceries. The cabin does not have fantastic view but its very quiet despite also close to the other 2 cabins. We had difficulties checking in as the check in email did not reach us prior arrival.

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 was a phenomenal property - stunningly modern and high-tech with bright light and beautiful views. We loved the extra touches - local art, pottery, fabrics and scents really made our stay that much more special! One small thing was that self check-in instructions should be made clear in advance of arrival - there were none listed, though we figured it out in short order. We will definitely be returning at some point in the future!

The location and property were so beautiful and really made our holiday stay perfect. The owners thought of almost anything one could want for, and they even added in some nice welcome items that really demonstrated care and concern. Location was idyllic, with beautiful sunrise/sunset walks right beyond the door. And, they even provided books/guides for more on the island. If you have a plug, they have an outlet nearby, including USB. The pictures of the place match the reality. A tranquil oasis and unique stay. My spouse and I had the ideal Isle of Skye experience here, thank you!

The Ardcana was unbelievably awesome! Its self catering, but leaves you with a full kitchen, pots and pans, silverwear, plates etc. Youll probably want the kitchen too because in my opinion, restaraunts are pricey for what you get here, but most of all the view from the cabin is a 10/10 and you should enjoy a nice meal here. Cabin was extremely nice, new and modern, while still having a good rustic feel. Weve already planned how well want to come back soon amd spend more nights here!

Remote Luxury in the Winter

We stayed in the Luxury Apartment, Ensuite, Sea View for 3 nights (Dec 21-24). The host, Danni, was extremely responsive and helpful with information regarding the property, where to park, how to use the projector, etc.

The property itself is situated in a remote(ish) area which allows for privacy and solitude. The views/landscape are breathtaking. Even in the bitter cold, we enjoyed the visit and hike to Aird of Sleat.

The amenities in the suite were amazing/modern and very well thought out. The property has under floor heating, a beautiful stand alone tub (but I think that is only in the luxury cabin), a projector and screen to watch shows/tv, a very modern kitchen with plenty of cookware to make a meal, and a very comfortable bed with a great duvet.

Additionally, there is a great coffee place nearby, the coffee bothy, offering fantastic coffee and delectable/unique cakes), and a nice pub called Bar Am Praban located in Hotel Eilean Iarmain which offered a great/hearty meal (thank you for that recommendation Danni). There are additional restaurants nearby (like the Red Skye Restaurant and Claymore Bar and Restaurant) but sadly they were not open.

The only small thing I would request is to look into is the water pressure in the shower, and the water for the tub, which did not stay hot to fill it.

Overall, my partner and I will definitely be coming back to this hidden and wonderful gem. Thank you Danni for a great stay!

A jewel in the midst of the choices on Skye. Beautiful design. Ultra modern. Very well equipped in all rooms, kitchen specifically. New model Nespresso - check ahead if you should bring your own coffee pods. Our apartment had the large copper tub. Beware that you'll run the tank out if you fill it and your partner will have a cold shower! One problem was resolved in a reasonable time and left us happy with the response. 2 other cottages on the same site but well situated so lots of privacy and good views of ocean and entrance mountains. Might want to ask for a tutorial upon arrival as there are lots of electronics that you can live without but nice to have working if you know how to use them. Our highest rating! Congratulations to the people behind this project - it is certainly in a class of its own.

The best of the rest.

We’ve travelled a lot during lock down, some nregular hotels, some high end for special treats - our stay at Ardcana was without doubt the best of any of these.
The space is incredible. Attention to detail is evident everywhere. Park right outside and take in the views across the water - outside seating around the sculptural fire pit ( logs and kindling provided ) covered patio with more seating - kitchen full to the brim of every mod con you might need - including a real Christmas tree for our stay.
Bedroom is beautifully lit - soft and comfortable but with thoughtful nods to where you are so a rugged wooden headboard - oh and what appears like a lack of tv turns out to be the flick of a switch - screen down and access to a huge projector tv with Netflix and Prime.
Bathroom beyond expectation - huge copper tub to soak the day away ( I didn’t get a look in ) underfloor heating piping hot water - full bottles of all local small etc.
Don’t pack fudge whisky or gin - you’ll find them waiting for you as a welcome !
If this all sounds a bit gushy ? It isn’t. This place and the hosts ( easily contactable ) have knocked it out of the park. Beautiful from the outside as well as in - and in some of the most stunning scenery in the world.
We will be back - even if it’s just to laze in the bath and sink into the bed watching tv and eating fudge.

One word describes this accommodation and location. Simply, it's Quality.
The view, location, quality
The building, appliances, bathroom fittings, quality.
Simple details like all the sockets have USB charging ports, the loo seat is soft close. Details like this cost more, but they're all fitted.

The property itself was wonderful, it has been finished very nicely and the view is top notch however there were a few down points I would have hoped for better for the price. The room had no wifi, air conditioning or a fan in the summer heat and the bathroom door did not close. There was also a number of cleaning products left around the room and a vacuum cleaner left by the front door. These are all minor point which I was happy to overlook. The communication and check in/out was below par and for the price needed improvement. With no prior communication the check in was confusing. After arriving there was no reception area or staff around to speak to and after two phone calls to the number found online I received no further information. 10 minutes after I sent a text messaged I received a reply saying the room was open, nothing further.
