Ian's palce is truly spectacular. Everything anyone could ask for and a great base camp to explore Skye. The problem we had and this is certainly is not Ian's fault was Storm Amy hit on our second day and we lost power for a day and a half. We didn't see much of Skye but it added to the adventure. Couldn't think of a nicer place to ride out the storm. I've travelled quite a bit and I can say with confidence that this is the nicest place I've ever stayed.

Lovely large property for family stay

We had a super stay at Ardmore cottage. The 3 bed property was much larger than expected, was extremely comfortable and had everything we needed for self catering stay. Broadford is a great base for exploring Skye and Kyle of Lochalsh and we would happily stay at Ardmore again.

A ‘home from home’ on a wonderful island

We had a most wonderful week on on Isle of Skye, staying at Ardmore. Ardmore is a real ‘home from home’, furnished to a high standard and equipped with everything you could need. It is one of the nicest holiday homes we have stayed in and will definitely return when we visit Skye again.

Very nice and spacious house on Skye

Located in a quiet area in Broadford, yet very close to local restaurants and supermarkets, we found the cottage an excellent home base for our travels on Skye. Very friendly host, thanks again for the tip to visit Elgol! We spent a great day doing the boat trip to Loch Coruisk, even seeing seals and dolphins on the way.
