Visit Skye - An Clamhan (Self Catering For Two, Colbost, Dunvegan, Skye)

Nestled in a woodland setting and overlooking seals at play at Loch Dunvegan, this retreat was a spendid find. Owners Iain and Caron Houston have made sure that every need and comfort was catered for - and much more! It is immaculate and tasteful in design - supplying good reading material, telescope and every kitchen utensil! If you can bear to leave, Three Chimneys is along the road . An Clamhan is the perfect base for exploring the Isle of Skye. We loved it- and will return !

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.
