The Challey at Heathcote
Ceol na Mara
This cottage is a home from home, spotlessly clean, very well equipped, stunning location and views. A beautiful walk over to Loch Rearaig, other lovely walks in the area. Torridon, Shieldaig and Applecross all beautiful areas with plenty of walking.
Shore Cottage
Just the best location ever. Macy & Jess our two mad collies couldn't get enough of the beach at the end of the garden. We had a very relaxing time there. Loved it. Wee bit disappointed the wood burner in the conservatory had packed in but it didn't spoil our stay. Only real negative was the relentless wind which ripped along the coast 24/7 during our stay. Just had to get well wrapped up to go out. Never the less... love to go back.
Lilybank
Another great week staying at Lilybank. Many thanks for honouring our booking since early in the Pandemic - it was great to finally visit. The Cottage was as ever excellent, well equipped, spotless, cosy and warm. Great to see it maintains it's usual, excellent standards. This cottage is a great base to explore the Highlands or if you prefer to chill in the Fort Augustus area at the mouth of the river Oich, salmon fishing' walking the canal or taking in the views around Loch Ness. It's a pity the local butcher looks is closed but that looks to be the only casualty of the Pandemic. Once again many thanks - we look forward re visiting quite soon. Alan & Denise Bell
Matheson's Croft House
We had a wonderful relaxing stay in this remote but quite accessible home. Clean and tidy with everything you could need, the open fire and AGA Rayburn were excellent companions for a cosy night in.
South Lodge
We loved the location so close to the sea. The cottage was cosy from the elements and had everything we needed. Us and our two doggies had the very best of times. Binoculars are a must - lots of wildlife to see. Sadly we didn't see any Otters but hope that you do.
Arrivain Cottage
An amazing place to stay. Owners very welcoming and the cottage was fantastic, clean, and everything you'd ever need in it. The area very picturesque even when it's raining. We loved it, thank-you!
Charleston
Fantastic house with exceptional views, very comfortable and spotless.
Upper Folds
An excellent place for a getaway break.
Upper Folds
An excellent place to have a relaxing break. We really find it a perfect place.
Charleston
Our 3rd time at Charleston, which in itself speaks volumes, not least as our requirements are very diverse. We would highly recommend this warm, comfortable, roomy and inviting single storey accommodation to both small or larger parties. Especially if like us you have a dog. Your fur baby will love it, along with all of the walks, plus the garden is uber large and secure for a run around We love the seclusion away from folks and all the stresses of modern day living, a real retreat to recharge the batteries . That being said there are a scattering of other premises a little walk away. Plus Inverness with all of its shops etc is accessible by car for a large shop. Culture seekers will not be disappointed, as again easy to get to by car, Whatever you want from a holiday can be found staying at Charleston (although forget it if a "kiss me quick" type thing with pubs and clubs on the doorstep is your thing.
Poulary Cottage
The easiest and comfortable holiday one can take. Wilderness Cottages has provided nothing short of fantastic customer service, imparting important information and answering questions promptly. The cottage in Invergarry was in amazing condition and the views from the kitchen window will be cherised for a lifetime! The Everhot cooker is incredible and we had one of the best roasted chicken dinners. Audrey (the housekeeper) is an absolute treasure. She was polite, efficient and very helpful (on more than one instance). Couldn't recommend it more.
The Coltsfoots
Another fantastic stay here, been coming here for a few years & it's always amazing. Gordon & Margaret are brilliant hosts, cabin is always spotless & homely and the dog loves the open garden. We had snow on our last day which was lovely, lots of games around the table at night with the log burner going, absolutely love it here.
Ardbeg
Excellent property with a superb view over the water. Comfortable and has everything needed for a lovely holiday. Thank you!
Stablemans Lodge
We had a lovely stay at Stablemans lodge, the property was very well appointed with everything we needed. And the one long bedroom was big enough that everyone slept with out disturbing each other (though there was the ritual call of 'Night John Boy'). Outside the BBQ hut was a great way to celebrate our sons 12 birthday despite the February temperatures and the arrival of plenty of snow midweek made getting home to sit around the log burner even more special. Grantown itself is a lovely place and perfect to access all the area has to offer. Walking, Sledging, Skiing, Loch Ness, etc all made a fun week. We finished our stay with pie and a pint in Grants Bar which is perfectly placed for a quick stumble home. All in all a great cottage in a lovely spot that made a perfect winter get away.
Pityoulish Cottage
Our second time here and already booked our third for the summer! What a fantastic cottage, it really is a gem and I'm so glad I found it. The grandparents have stayed with us each time too in the bothy which has been great for added childcare and for us getting out for some adventures on our own. Thoroughly recommend
The Coltsfoots
I along with many others have found this Log Cabin to be amazing. The setting, the extremely high standard of the rooms and the facilities offered Totally dog friendly too. I would easily move in if I could!! Gordon was so hospitable and when we had an issue with the hob, resolved it straight away. Fort Augustus is very close by and a central location to visit many parts of the Highlands. We had snow too which made the log cabin and garden look like something in a holiday brochure for Austria. I would love to return....
Seascape Cottage
We had an amazing stay at Seascape Cottage and could not recommend it highly enough. The cottages location is by far the best we have stayed in, its very remote but if you want a real 'escape from it all' then this is the one for you. We went in February and it was so nice coming in from our exploring to a cosy, warm cottage. The views are astounding, the beaches that are walking distance from the cottage are beautiful and you get them all to yourself! The wildlife encounters were very memorable, deer, hares and seals basking on the rocks. Nearby Culzean Castle is worth a visit, the Galloway Forest Park had some good walks, Portpatrick and Mull of Galloway lighthouse (excellent coffee shop) were all highlights of this area of Scotland. Can't wait to go back.
Leachachan Barn
Can't recommend high enough. Stunning location, amazing views from the huge picture windows. Great walks straight from the door. A visit to Sandaig Bay should be a must, nice walk out from the roadside and a breathtaking beach and bay that very few will ever witness.
Leachachan Barn
We stayed at "Leachachan Barn" for our fourth visit, the property is situated on the Shores of Loch Duich, so close to the Eilean Donan Castle, Plockton and the Isle Of Skye. We watched Otters and Seals in the Loch, eagles in Glenelg, and Deer at Glenshiel. Wilderness Cottages have a fantastic website, so easy to use with a huge selection of properties and are very helpful if you give them a call. We holiday in Scotland every year and always book with Wilderness Cottages.
Arrivain Cottage
Arrivain is absolutely perfect. Very cosy, modern interior and amazing views! We will come again.
Plodda Falls Lodge
This was the second time me and my mate have stopped at this property. It doesn't disappoint for a second visit. The location is outstanding while a little bit off the beaten track being so remote is part of the attraction of this property. Whether you like to explore on foot or by car or a bit of both this property is ideal! Jenny is a wonderful host providing as much or as little help and information as you require. This remains one of the best places I have visited in Scotland and is always one I mention to friends and family.
Toberaie
Lovely remote cottage...We stayed there on honeymoon! Cottage was lovely but as we stayed in winter when you spend more time indoors it could do with a larger TV and more updated comfortable seating.
Score Bay Cottage
Upper Folds
I had a wonderful stay at Upper Folds the peace was exactly what I was looking for . So nice to unplug for a while . Wilderness cottages were great to deal with . Very quick at replying to e mails and sent me all the info I needed . Will definitely be back .
Leachachan Barn
The barn was wonderful. Such an amazing place to stay and an incredible location. I would definitely come and stay again and would (and have) recommended it to friends.
Seal Skerry Lodge
Absolute bliss! Phenomenal location. Super comfy bed (a brand new mattress had just been delivered ready for my stay). Powerful, hot waterfall shower . Well equipped kitchen - they haven't skimped on quality - good sharp knives, pans etc. Good Wi-Fi, I was able to stream films, zoom meetings, etc. The local village shop is a real Aladdin's cave and I could even get some ingredients I have struggled previously to find in Waitrose! Would recommend pottery workshop with Sarah Wiggins up the road. Really can't fault and will be booking again next year.

Lilybank
We had a lovely break over new year at Lilybank. The position of the cottage is stunning being right on the river and views of the loch. Fort Augustus is a good base for exploring the highlands. The property is well appointed and spacious. Lovely comfy beds, wood burner and best of all dog friendly. A very relaxing stay. We are looking forward to returning. Thank you
Arrivain Cottage
Absolutely fantastic cottage in a stunning location. No expense has been spare in its interior. Everything you need for a relaxing break. Definitely 5 Stars and will definitely be back.
Upper Folds
A perfect and very well appointed cottage. Brilliantly restored and built in a brilliant location. Could not have asked for anything better. Lovely, Gin, Shortbread and Chocolates greeted me on arrival. :)
Littlepark Cottage
Seal Skerry Lodge
What's not to love! Seal Skerry Lodge is the perfect place to escape to in winter, and dog-friendly too - this place has the most incredible views from every window, it's so peaceful and so remote. We visited in December, and despite the house being really spacious and open, it was always so lovely and warm. This was our first time on the Isle of Skye and we absolutely loved it! If you're wanting to explore all the main sights of Skye, it might be better finding somewhere a little more central for your first trip - as everywhere seemed quite a drive! However, Neist Point is about three miles away, which is well worth a visit, and we highly recommend this wildlife tour with Andy - http://www.skyewildlife.com/ One of the only negatives of the lodge was the sleepless nights - the mattress is extremely uncomfortable - definitely take your own mattress topper mattress! It would also benefit from an outdoor socket for electric cars. If you're wanting somewhere to escape to, in a beautiful house, in the middle of nowhere, with the most stunning view, this place is perfection - we can't wait to return to just to sit and watch the seals go by!
Log House
A wonderful stay over New Year. The place was immaculate with all the home comforts, gadgets and utensils you could wish for - thank you!! The seamless ASDA home delivery with our weeks worth of supplies was perfect too. Everything about the booking and the stay was made easy and hassle free - thanks again. Louise

North Lodge
North Lodge provided a haven of calm and tranquility in beautiful nature-filled surroundings. The cosy cottage was our base for a week over new year and we spent it exploring the area on foot and tucked inside in the comfortable sitting room in front of the fire. We enjoyed watching the woodland birds and the red squirrel right outside the lodge. High recommended and we hope to return to Lochnaw for another break soon.
Cedar Cottage
We were supposed to stay at Cedar Cottage last New Year 2020/2021 but due to covid it was cancelled so we booked again for this year and we were not disappointed at all. The location was fantastic, so quite and peaceful and to be able to sit and watch the many various birds as well as the squirrels we will most definitely be back. Great location, fantastic agents to deal with and so much to see and do in the area. Next time will hopefully be a summer holiday even though the fire was excellent and reminded me of being a child at my grandparents. One small thing though is the signage pointing to cedar cottag, I think should be at every junction and brighter to see in the dark as after 2 hrs driving around and finally knocking on another cottage door they pointed us in the right direction and it was then straight forward after that ...fantastic location if you are partial to a wee dram with Dallas Dhu being literally down the road. 5 stars, well equipped and many thanks to the owners for the New Years pressie of Wine, Chocolate and shortbread and more nuts for the birds, much appreciated.
The Challey at Heathcote
Stoer Lodge
We had the most wonderful relaxing time at Stoer Lodge in September. The location is perfect, and many days were spent swimming in the sea and lazing around the house. The only downside was that the heating was not working, and we never received a response to our message but thankfully we had the log burner.
Upper Folds
Fabulous cottage. Super warm and cosy. Lovely furnishings. Well cared for and with thoughtful extras from the owners. Stunning location with views of Ben Rinnes and beyond from the dining room. So peaceful and no phone signal so the distractions of every day could be forgotten. Perfect spot for doggies too who enjoyed the great walking right from the door. It was especially picturesque this morning with a good covering of snow. We were so tempted to stay another day or too. However real life beckoned and we slowly made our way back down the snowy track. Can't wait for a third visit!
Sealight
A stunning home away from home! The cottage is so cosy, comfortable and very tastefully decorated. The views from the bay windows are magical. We loved sitting on the comfy sofa, doing nothing but enjoying the view, with a roaring fire. The cottage is very clean and well equipped. The shower is powerful and the bed comfortable. The pine martens (at least 4) visited us each night and enjoyed their supper of eggs, jam and peanut butter sandwiches. What a treat! We also spotted the otter fishing in the bay. Lots of lovely woodland walks nearby and a wildlife hide a couple of miles away to watch seals sunbathing. Perfect house in a perfect location.
Shore Cottage
The location is amazing, the cottage was perfect. Can't wait to return
Easter Knocklea Cottage
Amazing property equipped with everything you could want for a relaxing stay. Definitely premium in every sense. We stayed in winter and the house was so well heated we didn't need to light the fire, we simply wanted the experience of seeing it burn :-) Location is remote so if you are going with a group then it will be a really relaxing retreat. If you are a small family then you will need to drive to get to pubs, amenities etc but not too far away if roads ok. We found roads quite icy after sundown and we didn't venture out in car after dark (and we are not typically that cautious). One recommendation for owner, a bag of grit for the driveaway down to road is essential, we had some hairy moments getting down the drive if we wanted to go out in the mornings. The drive was like sheet ice. All in all we loved our stay and would definitely recommend it for a peaceful, natural, beautiful, stay in an amazingly large, premium and well equipped place.
Easter Knocklea Cottage
Well what can we say.. Simply stunning property.. Beautiful location. We will return... Kitchen is excellent with every utensil you could possibly think off.. Great facilities and stunning rooms I just love EasterKknocklea Cottage
The Barn, Corrimony
Beautiful home.. Lovely location plenty of walk.. Really clean with ample washing and drying facilities very close to the Loch Ness.. Co op not too far and well stocked .. Would benefit from more pots and pans.
Glenara
Matheson's Croft House
Had a lovely christmas at mathesons croft, from the beginning was great communications and lots of information. The cottage itself was lovely and so peaceful. The views over the sea and moutains where amazing to look at every morning. Only slight downside was the long rough track down but after a few go's you got used to driving along it. Otherwise was the perfect getaway. Also a massive thanks to Jayne the cleaner/caretaker for looking after us. Would highly recommend and will visit again hopefully soon
Upper Folds
What a place! Upper Folds is simply stunning, the Cottage itself has everything you need for a comfortable stay, is clean and fresh and the underfloor heating a bonus. Set in the most beautiful location with great access to breathtaking scenery. Our first visit, but will not be our last.
Reyflat Barn
Wonderful spacious accommodation. Clean, warm, comfortable. Very well-equipped kitchen. Loved the large bath sheets.The owner made us feel very welcome and the fresh flowers and scones were a real treat! Everything was of a high standard. We were only there three nights but would definitely return for longer next time!
