An Clamhan

22nd January 2024:

This is the 6th time we have stayed here so that probably says it all. We love it, Caron and Iain are lovely and always make us feel so welcome. An Clamhan is a beautiful home with everything we need for a very comfortable and relaxed stay. The property is furnished and equipped to a very high standard, it’s perfect. Thanks Caron and Iain, can’t wait to come back.

Dunvegan is about 4 miles away where you can find some restaurants, a mini market, post office and bakery

Would Recommend: Yes

You have the record! We always look forward to your visits. A special thank you this time for looking after the house while we were away. All the very best Caron and Iain

3rd October 2023:

Wonderful house, with very nice personal touches and a true home from home experience. Lovely location, overlooking the Loch and near a nice couple of restaurants.

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd October 2023:

What a superb stay! A very charming little house and a ver warm welcome by the lovely hosts. We very much enjoyed the tranquility. The house is fitted with very high-end and sustainable amenities of all sorts. We felt right at home.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th September 2023:

Big Big Thanks for offering this wonderful House and Place! We - again - enjoyed that so much and spent a wonderful time! It is a very special place 🤩🤩🤩

Would Recommend: Yes

It was good to see you both again. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your travels. Once again, thank you for your kind words about your stay, Iain and I hugely appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We hope to have the opportunity of welcoming you back sometime.

28th September 2023:

Best place we’ve ever stayed. This is the gold standard of self catering accommodation. Chic, stylish, luxurious and in a gorgeous, private setting. Iain and Caron were helpful, friendly, responsive and unintrusive. Highly recommend for a romantic getaway, it is truly perfect.

We recommend Neist Point, Talisker Bay and the Quiraing walk. Walking boots essential and recommend proper outdoor clothing. The Quiraing views are spectacular but the path is steep and uneven in places. Early booking of restaurants essential.

Would Recommend: Yes

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much. Iain and I are delighted you enjoyed your stay so much. Maybe another visit sometime?

26th September 2023:

Caron and Iain were absolutely delightful hosts. They were extremely helpful, showing us around the property, ensuring that we were settled before leaving us. The property itself was furnished to the highest standard and very clean. It was ideally located with a view of Loch Dunvegan. We had a lovely, peaceful stay and would highly recommend.

Located within 3 minutes walk to The Three Chimneys. Ideal for Neist Point, Dunvegan Castle and Portree.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you very much for your kind words and taking the time to share your thoughts on staying at An Clamhan. We are happy you enjoyed your visit, despite the weather! Hope to see you again. Best wishes

23rd September 2023:

Wow - we had an incredible stay and by far the best place we stayed in Scotland. The bed is very comfortable and we slept great. the owners stocked the house with a ton of food. They went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. We were traveling with a group and everyone wanted to hang out at our place. Will absolutely stay here again

Would Recommend: Yes

16th September 2023:

A Seven Star Gem ! A truly stunning location ( make sure to catch sunrise ) in a 7 Star Property with a very personal touch from hosts Caron and Iain. Read all the reviews before booking this and every review gave fantastic reviews of their experience and we can see why. Well Done Caron / Iain. Will definitely see you again.

It’s worth makin the effort to set the alarm clock to see the sunrise ! Pack a picnic and just drive around the Island and stop at one of many breathtaking spots. Don’t miss Neist point at sunset !

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you! Your review means a lot to Iain and I. It was a pleasure to meet you both and we look forward to welcoming you back to our lovely part of this beautiful island.

14th September 2023:

What a wonderful place to stay. A beautiful setting, a modern and well presented cabin, and friendly and welcoming owners. The cabin is warm, comfortable, and more spacious than it looks. The fixtures and fittings, from the oven to the shower, are all high quality and a pleasure to use. The bed is large and comfortable and there's clearly been an attention to detail in the design of the cabin. Highly recommended.

We had dinner a few minutes away at the Old School Restaurant while we were there and enjoyed some really great food. It's a busy place so book ahead.

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd September 2023:

Lovely stay

Would Recommend: Yes

21st August 2023:

Another wonderful stay at An Clamhan. We are always made so welcome and the property is clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The weather was also excellent this year, showing the loch and the surrounding landscape in the best light.

The property is very convenient for the Three Chimneys restaurant and there are other very good restaurants nearby and there is plenty of good walking in this part of Skye. We saw seals in the loch on only one occasion but that mainly because of the state of the tide while we were there.

Would Recommend: Yes

First time on the Isle of Skye (and the island did not disappoint). Likewise, An Clamhan, provided an absolutley fabulous base from which to explore the island. A beautifully appointed property with every convenience and applaince of the highest quality. Oft-times, pictures of holiday properties to rent can flatter the accommodation – not An Clamhan – it really is as beatifully appointed as it looks. My wife and I stayed for 4 nights (late July/early August 2023) and we wanted for nothing. The property had every convenience you could wish for (and all top quality from cutlery/tableware, dishwasher, coffee machine, induction hob, combined cooker/microwave, automated blinds, large modern TV and sound system, powerful mounted binoculars for viewing local wildlife and seal spotting). Our hosts – Caron and Iain - were very welcoming and took all the time needed to walk us through the property and explain what was what and how to get the best from the house and it’s features. A great base from which to explore the beautiful island of Skye (albeit you will quickly realise that you’re best to treat some of the island’s roads as quaint and rustic with quite a number of large stretches being single track with multiple passing places to try manage the through traffic). Loved our time at An Clamhan – will defintiely be back.

The three chimneys restaurant (formerly a michelin star restaurant) comes with a reputationj for "fine dining". For our part, we were very disappointed with both service and quality of the food. For the kind of money you are asked to spend here - our advice would be dont.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th July 2023:

An Clamhan is a beautifully positioned property with a lovely view. The building itself fits into the landscape so well and the view of the sea and the peaceful grounds mean that it's restful from the word go. Caron and Iain have thought of everything - normally I find myself saying 'if only they'd thought of' but they have thought of everything. It's perfect. And the warm welcome and personal touches were much appreciated. I have done a lot of travelling for work and pleasure and this property is at the top of the list. It's certainly a property that you could use as a base for exploring or alternatively as a perfect, calm retreat.

A walk along the road is the famous Three Chimneys restaurant. Dunvegan has many more which were of variable quality and the village seemed to close down by 9pm if you are the kind that eat/drink late. As a base for one part of Skye there is Skye Weavers, lots of potteries and artists' little places. I would get on the roads early or late in the day if you want to go to Neist Point or the Coral Beach and the like as the traffic jams in the middle of the day looked awful and hair-raising on some roads.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your very kind words and for taking the time to write and share them. We hugely appreciate this. It was a joy to meet you both. We hope to see you again.

18th July 2023:

I have lost count of the times I have stayed here. The house is stunning with amazing views. Everything has been thought of and is scrupulously clean. There is even an electric charge point for your car. Iain and Caron are the most generous hosts. Looking forward to my next visit.

The house is around 100m from The Three Chimneys restaurant. Well worth a visit but book early. The Old School restaurant in Dunvegan is very good too. Skye Silver jewellery is about a mile further along from the house and if you keep going you will come to Neist Point.

Would Recommend: Yes

It was lovely to see you for another visit Anne and thank you for your review. Hope to see you again is this lovely part of the world 😊

11th July 2023:

Absolutely stunning cabin on an idyllic piece of lush land by the Skye seaside. Private, yet close to amenities (15m from Dunvegan restaurants and shops, 45m from Portree). Incredible modern kitchen with induction stovetop, convection oven, and dishwasher - be sure to pick up some groceries and make some homemade meals. Other highlights include a cozy iron fireplace with provided firewood, a modern high-end soundbar for music, and a calming brook that runs through the property. Your neighbors will be the sheep who roam freely near but not on the property and the seals that you can watch from across the water through the mounted telescope. My mother and brother were immensely happy staying here and I was able to find a beautiful place to camp nearby.

It's so comfortable that you'll almost have a hard time tearing yourself away to explore the legendarily beautiful surroundings. That said, almost anything you'd want to see on the Isle of Skye is within an hour drive.

Would Recommend: Yes

Hi James, thank you for sharing your experience of your stay to An Clamhan and your visit to Skye. We are happy you all enjoyed everything the island had offer and the comforts of the house. It’s a long way to come but you never know maybe we will see you in the future. All the best.

10th June 2023:

Am Clanham is a fantastic property on the road to Glendale and Neist Point. It was clean, comfortable and a great base to come back to. Great view across Loch Dunvegan where you could watch the seals relaxing when the tide was out. Caron and Iain were very helpful with an appreciated touch leaving some food and wine on our arrival.

Dunvegan Castle is not far and worth a visit, as is Neist Point. We stopped at Cafe Lephin in Glendale and had a superb lunch after a walk around Milovaig and Loch Pooltiel. There are lots of good art and craft places in the area that are well worth a visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

Would Recommend: Yes

27th May 2023:

A superb property for an adult couple, really well equipped in a lovely setting. We watched seals from the property and had a visit from a couple of red deer!

It’s a remote part of Skye. Ideal for the north of the island but expect slow travelling on single track roads.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you very much 😊. We are so happy you saw the deer and seals. Along with the rabbits and birds it was quite a show! Good luck with your new car.

5th April 2023:

Another lovely stay at An Clamhan which is still in tip top condition. We thoroughly enjoyed our few days stay despite the weather being poor. It was a great excuse to light the woodburner and just sit and read. Thank you Caron and Iain, it was just what we needed.

The Three Chimneys is just down the road within walking distance of An Clamhan. We so enjoyed the Kitchen Table experience there as a special treat. I would recommend it for a special birthday or anniversary- food and ambiance is wonderful.

Would Recommend: Yes

10th November 2022:

Visited late October for the 5th time in just over 2 years, think that says it all, we absolutely love An Clamhan. The house is perfect in every way with everything needed for a relaxing stay. Caron and Ian are always very welcoming and perfect hosts, we will definitely be back Ronnie & Fiona

As previous reviews Three Chimneys is a 2 minute walk and Dunvegan village is fairly close with more places to eat and some small stores etc.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th October 2022:

We enjoyed staying in this lovely contemporary house which is in a beautiful setting. We liked the calm feeling it gave us and also the thoughtful little touches placed all around the house. The large bed is very comfortable and we slept well. An added bonus is that the Three Chimneys restaurant is very close by and an easy walk. Caron & Iain (owners) came to check us in and were very helpful.

Lovely dinner and service at Three Chimneys. One of us is still thinking about their amazing haggis/whisky tart starter. So good. Try it.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th September 2022:

Excellent hosts who have thought of everything including lovely welcome hamper. 5 star accomodation. Looking forward to coming back.

Would Recommend: Yes

Would Recommend: Yes

It was a pleasure to meet you. Hopefully we will see you for another visit.

9th September 2022:

Iain and Caron were very welcoming and helpful during our stay. The house is beautiful and well equipped with everything you need. A very relaxing and enjoyable first visit to the area.The location was perfect and The Three Chimneys restaurant nearby. We hope one day we can return.

A visit to The Three Chimneys , Neist Point and Dunvegan Castle.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for a lovely review. With the chimneys next door, and Neist point close by your location was perfect. Thank you for booking direct as you are always guaranteed best price. We would love to welcome you for a return visit.

25th August 2022:

Caron and Ian made us feel so very welcome, as usual.

The property is right next door to the Three Chimneys restaurant and there are other good restaurants nearby. It is ideal for exploring the north west of Skye and for walking.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for booking with us once again and as usual for booking direct. It’s a great location for visiting north west Skye. We hope you get to sit out on the covered decking next time and watch the birds, seals and colours of the sea and land. Hopefully see you next year.,

24th August 2022:

A very comfortable and wonderfully decorated house. Caron and Iain, the owners, have been very caring and you can find all you need in the house for a carefree stay, and even more.

Would Recommend: Yes

Many thanks for your review and we are so happy you enjoyed your stay and your visit to Skye. Next time 🤞, why not book direct via our website you are always guaranteed best price.

28th June 2022:

Fabulous lodge. Well insulated, cosy and warm. All mod cons. Comfortable bed. Ideal and well outfitted kitchen. Most importantly, it has an EV charger. Lovely views of the Loch from the front panoramic window especially of the seal colony sunning themselves.

Next door to Three Chimneys restaurant. Dunvegan is quite close and has a good range of small shops for essential provisions.

26th May 2022:

Caron and Iain welcomed us into their beautifully situated and extremely well appointed holiday house. Everything has been carefully thought out and the house is an absolute pleasure to live in. We really did not want to leave at the end of our lovely 3 day stay! Our hosts had thoughtfully provided an extensive welcome package of food and drink. The following day, they contacted us to see that all was well. It certainly was! The house is situated in a small copse of trees in a lovely plot overlooking a beautiful bay. Through the telescope in the living room, seals were visible basking on nearby rocks. Everything was perfect. We would certainly return for another stay and thoroughly recommend An Clamhan for a relaxing stay in a stunning location.

The 3 Chimneys, one of Scotland's finest restaurants is only 100 yards down the road. We would highly recommend the tasting menu served at the kitchen table. There are good walks locally. In particular the Neist lighthouse walk provides excellent views out to the Outer Hebrides and proximity to nesting seabirds on the cliffs.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much!! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and it was our pleasure to meet you both. We are very grateful for another positive review and we look forward to welcoming you back.

9th May 2022:

Am Clamhan was the perfect home away from home for our stay on Skye. Superbly equipped and impeccably presented, nothing had been overlooked and we had a wonderful stay. Caron and Iain are so hospitable and helpful. The location is peaceful and beautiful.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you very much for great review and for sharing your experience of An Clamhan with all future guests. He hugely appreciate this. We look forward to welcoming you back some time.

6th December 2021:

This is simply the best holiday accommodation we have ever stayed in - anywhere in Scotland. The house is beautiful - warm, cosy, luxurious, well equipped with high quality fixtures, fittings and equipment - just perfect! It was so lovely to be greeted by Caron and Iain, and to be welcomed and shown around on arrival. The location is ideal as well. We didn't want to leave but will certainly be back. Thank you!

The Three Chimneys (obviously!) - right next door. So much walking in the area. But just enjoy being there!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much!! We are very grateful for another positive review and hope to welcome many more guests in 2022. Merry Christmas and a good New Year to our customers.

28th November 2021:

Caron and Iain are fantastic hosts with a wealth of knowledge about what to do on Skye. The property has everything needed for a comfortable stay. Beautifully furnished and lovely art work. Welcome pack had everything needed for the first evening stay. Would love to return one day as it was so relaxing.

There was lots to do but the property is so cosy in winter it was hard to leave. Great entertainment just watching the wildlife over the water to Dunvegan Castle. It was nice to have the covered porch to sit out with lovely heavy blankets.

Would Recommend: Yes

Hi Marie and Robert, it was lovely to meet you. We hugely appreciate the time you have taken to share your experience of staying An Clamhan. We are so happy you managed to spend time out in the porch watching the wildlife. The colours on the sea and land can be stunning all year round. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back some time. All the best Caron and Iain

30th October 2021:

Excellent warm welcome upon arrival to the wonderful cottage with high quality facilities and amazing views. Great location overlooking the Loch plenty of wildlife to see including otters, seals and even a stag in the garden one morning. Perfect Stay

Lots of lovely restaurants close to the cottage and amazing walks along the shore.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for taking the time and for giving us such a glowing review. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. You were extremely lucky to see the stag as he has been missing for a few weeks. What a great image you added to our Google page. Thank you.,The light, colours and the view are stunning. We hope to see you again. All the very best. Caron and Iain

16th October 2021:

Fantastic accommodation which was very well equipped for a couples get away. Hosts were very welcoming and took time to explain all the high tech gadgets as well as leave some nice touches to help us settle in.

Next door to 3 Chimneys Restaurant which is a must but you will need to book months in advance! We managed to get all over the North of Skye easily from here visiting loads of beautiful locations.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience of staying at An Clamhan. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. We hope to get the opportunity of welcoming you back. All the best.

10th October 2021:

A wonderful home and great place to stay. The accommodation is furnished to an incredibly high standard and everything that you could possible need is available. Caron & Iain were great hosts and welcomed us to the property, gave us an overview and provided a lovely welcome hamper. A lovely place to stay with some great views across the loch.

We can strongly recommend The Three Chimneys for dinner (we had two wonderful meals there and its only a 5 min walk from the accommodation) along with Loch Bay (a 25min drive) which was incredible.

Would Recommend: Yes

26th September 2021:

The owners were very welcoming to this beautiful spacious property set in a large garden of birch trees. Very peaceful location.

Only 100m from the 3 Chimneys restaurant. Booking in advance is essential.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th September 2021:

Caron and Iain are fantastic hosts - warm, friendly, and full of good advice on how to make the most of your trip to Skye. An Clamhan itself is furnished to an extremely high standard and has excellent facilities. It is situated by the sea and has absolutely beautiful views. We wished we could have stayed for longer!

The Dunvegan Deli does excellent lunches and freshly baked pastries. If your budget can stretch to it, then a visit to The Three Chimneys restaurant next door is a real must. An Clamhan is a stones throw from Dunvegan Castle, which is a lovely day out and also offers great seal watching boat trips

Would Recommend: Yes

21st September 2021:

We had a fantastic stay at An Clamhan. The lodge was exceptionally clean with everything you could possibly need for a stay (and things you wouldn't even think of). Hosts Caron and Iain were super friendly and spent a little time explaining how everything worked and how to get the best out of the lodge - really appreciated this as we are not that technical! Wonderful views over the loch and you could not help but relax - we didn't want to go out! A lovely welcome hamper which was really appreciated with the basics - bread, milk, beer and wine etc - enough to get you started and a good pantry of condiments which are usually missing when self catering.

We visited the three chimneys restaurant which was just a short stroll down the road which was good - highly recommend the pigeon pie. Walked to top of Dunvegan Head (not a track so you need to be able to read the lay of the land) exceptional views and worth the effort - if you have a dog then do keep it on a lead as a steep cliff drop at the top. Oyster Shed is definitely worth a visit - as well as the oysters the lobster and chips were amazing

Would Recommend: Yes

17th September 2021:

Exceptional attention to detail executed with a tasteful eye, we loved the John Byrne prints. We found everything we needed and more, a very comfortable and tranquil Skye eco -sanctuary.

We found that you need to book the higher end restaurants - Three Chimneys, Edinbane, Loch Bay etc, well in advance.

Would Recommend: Yes

16th September 2021:

We loved staying in this gorgeous lodge . Caron has excellent taste, everything was just perfect .There were no negatives at all The lodge had everything in it you could possibly wish for and it was spotless ! There is no need to bring condiments or cleaning material s and the welcome basket was lovely It will keep you going over night. There is a washing machine that Caron and Ian provided washing liquid for There’s also an iron and ironing board Did I mention that the bed has the most comfortable mattress we have ever slept on 😴

You definitely need a car as it is remote but this added to the beauty of the location . We ate at the Three Chimneys - expensive but absolutely delightful and you can walk . There is nothing really else in strolling distance but plenty of restaurants within a short car journey.

Would Recommend: Yes

31st August 2021:

Warm friendly welcome. Happy to provide assistance when asked. Available with help and advice if required. Iain and Caron are thoughtful and considerate. It was a pleasure staying at An Clabhan.

Eating out:- The Three Chimneys, The Stein Inn, Loch Bay Restaurant. Skye is a popular destination. The known attractions can be busy. While worth seeing there are many other delightful places with glorious views that can be visited and enjoyed. Explore!

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd August 2021:

High end accommodation- modern, comfortable, clean and well equipped. Thoughtful arrival pack including a number of gluten free items. Attentive and considerate hosts prepared to make themselves available as needed. Would definitely recommend.

A very peaceful location where you can spend hours looking out of the window to the sea loch but do need a car for access to the rest of the island. Terrific to have The Three Chimneys a hundred yards from the house.

Would Recommend: Yes

6th August 2021:

A lovely place to stay on Skye, a great location, attentive hosts, and every need catered for.

Located right next to the Three Chimneys restaurant and with other good restaurants in the vicinity. Great walking and wildlife watching nearby too.

Would Recommend: Yes

29th July 2021:

A beautifully designed and appointed ecologically friendly cabin style cottage set in woodland by Dunvegan Loch. The cottage has everything you could need and more besides - even a telescope to watch the seals lazing on a small islet. Caron and Iain are very welcoming and ensure the place is kept to the highest standards. Well worth the drive and the money. We loved every minute of our stay.

A well located base to explore Skye. Neist Point is nearby with great views. The Three Chimneys restaurant with excellent fine dining food is a few hundred metres along the road.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th July 2021:

We arrived early and Caron and Iain were very accommodating and allowed us an early entry to accommodation. They were excellent hosts who have thought of everything that you may need during your stay. The property itself was spotlessly clean, had excellent facilities and the styling of the property was, individual, unique and very complimentary to the property and location. We had a wonderful time and hopefully will return some day.

Try and visit as much of Skye as you can, Dunvegan Castle and gardens are an excellent attraction. The Fairy pools were great and we had fantastic weather during our stay. Coral beach is stunning on a sunny day, but get there early as parking soon fills up. Neiste point lighthouse is a great walk. The Old School is a great restaurant and although we ate at the Three Chimneys, we did not enjoy the experience, no atmosphere and food pretty ordinary at over inflated prices. Roads at some attractions could be kept in better condition. Stunning scenery and walks all around Skye, go and explore.

Would Recommend: Yes

15th July 2021:

This is our second stay at An Clamhan and it is absolutely perfect.Caron and Iain have thought of everything you could possibly need for a luxurious stay. There are absolutely no negatives I can think of about this property. It’s a peaceful, beautiful location and the house and gardens provide top class amenities. Without a doubt 5 star. Caron and Iain are perfect hosts

Three Chimneys a very short walk. Easy drive to other top class restaurants. 5 miles from Dunvegan and Neist Point Lighthouse is less than 7 miles.

Would Recommend: Yes

Hi Ronnie and Fiona, it was lovely meeting you again. Thank you are returning to An Clamhan and for sharing your experience. We will keep it just prefect for you. Until the next time! Caron and Iain

13th July 2021:

An Clamhan is a little gem that served as a wonderful escape in September last year and was still as good in July this year! The bed is still as comfortable and the location is perfect. We will return the next time we need a fill of Skye scenery and food.

The nearest restaurant to An Clamhan is the Three Chimneys- a culinary delight. Be sure to book well in advance though. The Old School in Dunvegan is a perfect place for simple but well cooked meals. Sadly we couldn't get in to the Lochbay Restaurant (about 30 mins away) but maybe next time!

Would Recommend: Yes

Hi Eileen and Richard, It is the icing on the cake for us when guests return. The bed is super comfy, isn’t it. We love it too. Thank you for sharing your experience. We greatly appreciate you taking the time and we are so happy that you enjoyed your second stay. Looking forward to seeing you next time. (Maybe Loch Bay Restaurant will have a table available next time). All the very best Caron and Iain

10th July 2021:

Quite simply the best self-catering property we have ever stayed at. Great location, stylish design, top quality finish and delightful hosts, Caron & Iain

2nd July 2021:

Beautiful luxury , comfortable accommodation in a stunning location. Everything that you need and somethings that you didn’t even know you needed . Very welcoming hosts and great supply f starter foods so no need to rush out immediately , just sit and watch the landscape unfold . Ideal location to walk to the Three Chimneys for lunch or dinner if you can tear yourself away from the view . Fab watching the seals in the bay and porpoises further out in the bay , also visited in garden by a young stag and a tawny owl at dusk . Simply just fabulous ! You will not be disappointed,

Three chimneys a very short walk away , The school House in Dunvegan also excellent . The cafe adjoining the petrol station in Dunvegan does a lovely breakfast . Neist point lighthouse is a must do as is a drive to NE of island .

Would Recommend: Yes

Hi Stuart and Lorna, Many thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It is important to us to get it just right for our guests. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again. All the best.

19th June 2021:

5 stars all the way for this fabulous house, from the welcome from the hosts Iain and Caron, the location and the house itself.It has everything you could want or need in luxurious comfort. The hosts have really thought of everything.The photographs on the website look good but the reality is even better. Wish we had been staying longer.

Don’t miss The Three Chimneys. The small cafe at Lephin is worth a stop for lunch on your way back from Neist Point and great food at Bog Myrtle near Struan.

Would Recommend: Yes

Hi Lindsay and George, thank you so much for your kind words and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to hopefully seeing you again. All the very best Caron and Iain

7th June 2021:

Quiet getaway with a great view over looking the Loch. Perfect location for a visit to the Three Chimneys restaurant.

Would Recommend: Yes

Hi Lloyd and Erica, Many thanks for leaving such a wonderful review. We put our customer experience and satisfaction as our priority and your review reaffirms what we try to achieve. So, thanks for your kind words and we look forward to welcoming you back to An Clamhan. Caron and Iain P.S. we logged you out of Netflix

6th June 2021:

Stunning, high spec home in tranquil and charming setting. Loved being so close to the local wildlife, especially the rabbits and deer. The attention to detail in the property is on another level- it’s like living in a boutique hotel for two. One of the comfiest beds we’ve ever slept on. The hosts were welcoming and gracious. We’d be back in a heartbeat.

Good base to explore all parts of the island. Would recommend Neist point for sunset, not far from the home. Drive to Staffin stunning for Kilt Rock and Old Man of Storr. Fairly pools and the Cuillins are incredible.

Would Recommend: Yes

Hi Jacqui and John, thank you very much for taking the time and for your extremely kind words. In fact your review made our day! Thank you for sharing your experience. The deer has visited most days recently. Such a joy to watch. We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to having the opportunity to welcome you back to AC in the future. Best wishes PS We are planning buying ourselves the same bed.

The owners Caron and Iain were very welcome I got and the house is beautiful and made a very comfortable and luxurious base for exploring the island.

Would highly recommend going to Neist Point lighthouse, the views are spectacular and also the village of Stein is lovely and not too far away. The Three Chimneys restaurant which is very close by was also a highlight on our trip.

Would Recommend: Yes

Hello Louise and Ian, many thanks for your great review and for taking the time to share it. We were sorry not to see you before you left. We trust your journey home went well. We look forward to having the opportunity of welcoming you back to AC in the future. All the the best Caron and Iain

A warm welcome awaiting us with the log burner already on. The lodge has been furnished to a high standard and equipped with everything you need for your stay. It felt like home from home, with a stunning view over the loch.

Fantastic location for Three Chimneys Restaurant, and easy to get around the island to see all local attractions

Would Recommend: Yes

There is not one negative thing I can say about An Clamhan. It was absolutely perfect. A warm welcome was waiting for us from owners Caron and Iain when we arrived. The house had absolutely everything we needed and more. It was ultra clean and everything was to an extremely high standard. Sometimes when you see pictures online of holiday rentals they're never as good as their photos but I'd say this was even better than the great photos online! From the large walk in shower to the comfy bed it was spectacular, relaxing and always cozy. Thank you also for the pizza in the freezer, bread, milk, fruit, wine, beer, biscuits etc and all the other touches that made our stay so wonderful. Thank you Caron and Iain for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. We will definitely be back!

The house is about 100 yards from The Three Chimneys restaurant and about 4 miles from Dunvegan. There are lots of things to see and do on Skye and we found it a great base for exploring.

Would Recommend: Yes

Many thanks for taking the time to write a review. We are pleased you enjoyed staying at An Clamhan. Hope to see you again.

What a beautiful place to spend a week. From watching the sunrise over the loch to snuggling down in the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in with the comfiest bedlinen- this was a fabulous find! Caron and Iain met us when we arrived and were lovely hosts providing for our every need with fuel for the fire, a welcome pack of treats, gorgeous Skye toiletries and clear instructions. They responded quickly to any questions too. I would and already have recommended An Clamhan to anyone who visits Skye. We will book again when we next visit Skye.

We did the usual tourist things but would particularly recommend Talisker Bay and the Oyster Shack. In Dunvegan the Dunvegan served gorgeous cheese board and excellent cakes and coffee. Also had a good wee shop.

Would Recommend: Yes

A fantastic property in a beautiful location. All comforts and amenities thought about, providing the most comfortable of stays. A memorable property with a lovely attention to detail. Hosted by brilliantly welcoming people and although left to own devices never felt like we couldn’t contact them if needs be.

You can’t go far wrong with the Isle of Skye but particular favourites location wise was Neist Point locally, saw porpoise, dolphins and whales alike from the shore... just make sure to pack some binoculars (although there is a pair in the property too!). Food wise the oyster shed near Carbost(Talisker distillery) was way above expectations.

Would Recommend: Yes

Fabulous property for two people to escape to. House is very comfortable and felt like a luxury getaway. Caron and Ian were great hosts and made us feel very welcomed to their holiday home. Always available but never needed, the house has everything you need. Dunvegan is only 4 miles away and all Skye’s main tourist attractions are accessible from the house. For a culinary delight book into the Three Chimneys for dinner as its only next door. The welcome pack was fabulous and generous.

You do need to drive to get to most of the islands key tourist locations, but the beauty and relaxation in this home and location is worth the drives.

Would Recommend: Yes

What a totally gorgeous place to spend a few much needed days away. The attention to detail is everywhere - the super comfy bed with sumptuous sheets; the luxury bathroom with its great shower; the living room with the telescope trained on the best spot to see seals; the verandah which catches the early sun;a welcome pack like no other we've ever seen right down to the tomato soup sitting next to the tin opener! Truly a five star holiday cottage.

A spectacular part of Skye with lots to do and see. The Three Chimneys Restaurant is literally just down the road and is a must for lunch or dinner (but book in advance). Neist Point is worth a visit as is Dunvegan Castle and the Coral Beach.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you very much for your kind words! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We put our customer experience and satisfaction a priority, your review reaffirms what we are trying to achieve! The seals are still out most sunny days when the tide is out! We are delighted that you enjoyed your time at An Clamhan and we look forward to the possibility of welcoming you another time.

30th August 2020:

Fabulous accommodation in a lovely location with all mod-cons provided, even a telescope focused on the basking seals. Caron and Iain were very attentive and helpful, introducing us to the property and checking we had everything we needed.

The property is next door to The Three Chimneys restaurant, there is excellent walking nearby and there are plenty of opportunities to see wildlife. As well as the seals and herons we could see from the property, we saw four sea eagles on a walk to Dunvegan Head.

Would Recommend: Yes

Many thanks for giving us a good review Neale. We are delighted that you had the opportunity to see all the wildlife. Hopefully we will see you for another stay at An Clamhan in the future.

I come to Skye regularly and Im always on the look out for new places to stay. This is a wee gem. A wonderful house with amazing views and facilities. You really don't need to bring anything with you. The complimentary hamper is full of goodies including eggs from the chickens next door. Caron and Iain are so welcoming, lovely couple. Nothing is too much trouble. Loved it so much Im going back in October.

If you are a foodie then this is a great place to stay as the iconic Three Chimneys restaurant is 100m away. Make sure you book as its always full. Food is amazing and I always eat here when I come to Skye. Dunvegan Castle and Gardens is on the opposite side of the loch and well worth a visit. An Clamhan is a good location to see most of the main attractions on the island as they are within easy driving distance.

Would Recommend: Yes

Hello Anne, it was a pleasure to meet you. Many thanks for your wonderful review and thank you for rebooking. We look forward to welcoming you back at An Clamhan in a few weeks. All the best Caron and Iain

21st August 2020:

Excellent accommodation and perfect for a quiet getaway in an ideal location. One little suggestion, I know we were blessed with stunning weather but the accommodation was very warm, maybe a nice Dyson fan for bedroom to keep guest a little cooler if they wish.

Three Chimneys is a must, but book well in advance, along with a tour of the island to see the main focal points.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for giving us such a good review and thank you for your excellent suggestion, the purchase of which will be top of the list. We hope to see you another time at An Clamhan. All the best Caron and Iain Update: Dyson fan purchased.

We were lucky enough to spend 3 nights at An Clamhan in September 2019 and had the most fabulous stay. The property is a extremely high standard with high quality all fixtures and fittings, it has a very homely and welcoming feel as you enter. We were welcomed by the lovely owners and provided with a very generous welcome pack of provisions which was really helpful for our arrival. The kitchen is brilliantly equipped with everything you could need for self catering including a superb oven/microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer and Nespresso machine (fab for us as coffee lovers!). There is also a washing machine, which we didn't use, but I'm sure we would on a longer stay. The living area is beautiful, with 2 comfortable sofas and floor to ceiling windows where you can watch the stunning sunrise and sunsets over the Loch across from the house, there is even a fabulous telescope from which we saw the local seals relaxing on rocks in the Loch from (a particular highlight for us!) We also enjoyed use of the log burner in the evenings which added to the cosy feel of the property. The bedroom is large and has a superb hanging unit and plenty of space for your belongings. The bed is a super king and the most comfortable mattress and linens we have ever slept on! Watching the sunrise from the bed was another highlight for us. The bathroom is stunning and the shower is excellent, lovely hot showers after a long, wet walk! The location of the property is great for getting out and about across Skye. Dunvegan is about a 12 minute drive and has a shop with all the provisions you will need and also the Old School restaurant where we had a wonderful meal and would highly recommend. We would also recommend a meal at The Three Chimneys restaurant, next door to the property, where you can have a taste of seafood straight from the Loch in front of you, 5 star food! We can't recommend this property enough, it is definitely 5 star and a great place to stay when visiting Skye. It is a very high quality property, luxurious with a homely feel and the owners were very helpful and welcoming. We will definitely be booking to stay here again next year.

Would Recommend: Yes
