South Lodge
Oh. Wow. We arrived, feeling really stressed - after a tough few weeks. Within minutes of arriving all the stresses just started melting away. This is a truly peaceful place - and the wildlife is magical. Lovely walks from the Lodge. If you want to go out for evening meals or pop to a shop - it's not for you ???? - it is truly remote. We didn't do half the things we planned because we couldn't drag ourselves from simply gazing out across the loch. The Lodge itself is cosy and comfortable - and how we laughed - never have we longed for a garden parasol in a Scottish cottage in September ????????????. The weather was epic.
Callakille
The house is in a very peaceful spot and there is a great view of the sea and the islands. While the surrounding landscape invites to explore, the house offers a cosy retreat to relax and unwind. The rooms are all spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. Every window offers a different beautiful view. There is everything you need for a longer stay and the fireplace makes for cosy evenings. The books and maps provided were welcome reads and helped us decide which hiking routes to tackle. All in all, we found it very hard to leave this beautiful place and we will definitely be back. There is still so much to discover.

Seabank Cottage
What a great base Seabank cottage made to explore the surrounding area ie Skye Applecross etc. Set in a lovely village with all the amenities you could need. Even some finer dinning at Rock villa. We spent time using the binoculars provided either looking out from the kitchen or the patio area just to the left of the cottage. All in all a great holiday.
Cala
Amazing place, amazing location, fantastic holiday in a beautiful part of the world
Ceol na Mara
We all enjoyed our stay at Ceol na Mara and having plenty of sunshine and very little midges made a great difference. It was fascinating to watch the deer on the loch shore one morning - they showed no fear of humans and dog.
Stoer Lodge
We had a wonderful family week in Stoer Lodge. We were so lucky with the weather and we found the lodge so comfortable and clean and in a great location to explore this beautiful part of Scotland! It is quite special to be able to wake up and go down for a dip in the sea or sit out watching the sea and wildlife. It was a great recharge for our busy lives. We would love to return. Thank you!
Toberaie
Been wanting to stay in the Nethy Bridge area for quite some time, and we finally succeeded. The location is breathtaking, we spotted lots of birds of prey and deer in the garden. Those mountainviews are stunning!! We were lucky to have summer weather, so every night we enjoyed the setting sun from the backdoor. If only there were a large window above the dresser in the dining room, with a frame around it, you'd have a unique painting every time you looked. We appreciated the size of the comfy double bed and the lamps scattered around the house, which made it very cosy. We didn't put on the hot water, we took a shower or used the kettle to get warm water. With the warm weather we had, we could have appreciated an outside table for al fresco dining. The large information map is also a bonus, the owners have done a lot of effort to write down the history of the place. Would recommend this little gem to all who, just like us, like to be remote and in a quiet, rural setting. Thank you for taking care of and letting us enjoy your unique home from home.
Leachachan Cottage
Absolutely fabulous house - luxury standard. I would recommend this property. Wonderful views right on the loch side. Well equipped kitchen and great hosts. Pine martins are gorgeous, if a little cheeky
Log House
The Log House was pleasant enough in a quiet location. The Log House does have a problem with rodents, probably mice. Shouldn't be a complete surprise due to the location. I would fix the ventilation in the bathroom as the mould was increasing throughout the 2 weeks. Dogs are fine, however if you allow dogs, you'll need removable covers to remove the smell of dogs, not everyone is a super fan of wet dog smell. So good, however needs Improvement.
Wilderness Cottages Replied...
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and feedback on Log House. As Wilderness Cottages are the booking agents we have contacted the owner to discuss your feedback. The owner has discussed your issues with the housekeeper and this has now been dealt with. As per our terms and conditions we ask guests to not allow dogs on the furnishing however I'm sure you agree this is difficult to manage. Update - The owners were very concerned of the reports of rodents and engaged Pest Control to check and asses Log House over a period of time.. Their findings were that there was no signs of rodent activity. The owners will continue to monitor and would always encourage guests to make them aware of any issues, should they arise, during their stay.
The Coltsfoots
We have had the most wonderful holiday at Coltsfoot Cottage. We have stayed there 4 times now and intend to keep on going back there. The setting is perfect, so quiet and peaceful. The host Gordon is very welcoming and lovely to talk too. We saw red squirrels around the log cabin, a fox and heard owls at night. Plenty of bike rides and walks in the hills around Fort Augustus. The cabin has everything you could need and is very comfortable. We love sitting on the veranda in the evenings relaxing and watching wild life. Perfect holiday.

Braehead Steading
We had a lovely holiday at Brae Steading. The house was clean and it had everything in it that we needed for our stay. The size of rooms downstairs and bedrooms meant we had plenty of space for our group of 7. There was a lovely big dining room and a lovely dining room table for us to sit together for our evening meal. There was plenty of plates etc in the cupboards and we liked the idea of the 2 fridges and used them both. We liked the huge space we had in the garden and enjoyed sitting outside the patio doors. It was good being so near the trails. Our group enjoyed their holiday and plan to return.
Jura
Not exactly a 'wilderness' cottage, but a cottage in a small hamlet. This is not a problem. The cottage is cosy and warm.
Rhundunan
Location, location, location, I couldn't fault it. The views were so good that I spent many an hour just looking out of the many windows that had a view. Clearly the house was designed taking the views into consideration. The interior has been done in a very high specification including surround sound system and a Tv that allows you to stream your own programmes should you find the time. The master bedroom has a large bed. I am 6'5'' and felt comfortable. Again views were incredible. 2 good size bedrooms and 1 2 bunk beds. Ideal for 3 generations. With the 3 Chimneys restaurant at the bottom of the driveway we spoilt ourselves. Choose a sunny day to go to Neist Point, go early and take your time. Stop and study the surroundings. We saw Dolphins, seals, gannets etc. Coral beach is stunning. Go beyond the beach to find a magnificent headland, the water was crystal clear. Skye Wildelife tours were superb. We saw Otters, Seals, Deer, Golden Eagles and Sea Eagles. Such good value. Sea fishing off Meanish Community Pier allowed us free meals of Mackerel and Pollack. We will definitely be going again

Charleston
Lovely spacious cottage in a great location with stunning views. So peaceful and relaxing. Lots of great walks on the doorstep. The weather was perfect for hill walking. Great enclosed garden for the dog and a well equipped cottage. We enjoyed eating our evening meal in the dining room drinking in the spectacular views over towards Fort Augustus. A memorable, relaxing holiday had by all. Thoroughly recommend a week away here.
Braehead Steading
The accommodation we stayed at the Braehead Steading was perfect for our needs and was so comfortable. Easy access to the town and perfect for discovering the surrounding areas. A great holiday and rest.
Braehead Steading
We had a wonderful stay in Braehead Steading, it's a lovely house with a very high standard of facilities and plenty of space for a large group. The area is amazing with wonderful views, great walks and local amenities in Ballater. Will definitely return.
Cedar Cottage
Had a wonderful break at Cedar Cottage near Forres. House was well equipped and spotlessly clean. Garden was lovely. The forestry commission road to cottage makes it more interesting. Loads of birds at the feeder. Loved seeing woodpecker and owl up close

Braehead Steading
We had a lovely stay at Braehead Steading. The house although large felt very warm and cosy. It was clean, comfortable and fully equipped with everything we could possibly need.
Stable Cottage
Lovely cottage (large), well equipped and warm when needed. Wonderful woodlands and walks and well situated to explore the area. Could have done a good vacuum to defeat the spider webs and dust though. Most importantly do not attempt to drive to the beach unless you have a 4x4 as treacherous for low cars, walking is recommended as it's beautiful.

Shellach Cottage
Enjoyable week staying in a lovely old cottage. Views to the front are beautiful overlooking Loch Carron (and the occasional dear). 15 minute walk to the village with a selection of cafes and restaurants. The cottage itself is oldy-worldy with a few quirks but everything you need is there.
The Orchids

Earth House
Earth House exceeded our expectations. The two key elements of accommodation and location were perfect for us. The house is an architectural underground marvel, tucked away in the hillside right on the edge of the sea. Surprisingly light, very comfortable and extremely well equipped. The location is perfect for wildlife watching. Eagles, otters and dolphins regularly seen from the comfort of the lounge. We spent ages just exploring on our own "private" beach. An unusual, quirky gem of a property. Highly recommended.
Ceol na Mara
Absolutely fabulous 5star cottage of superior quality throughout. Everything and more that you could need. A real home from home, warm and welcoming with outstanding views across the sea to the Isle of Skye. The Stags visiting the garden in the morning and evenings night were an unexpected bonus. A wonderful stay, we cannot wait to return. Oh and thank you for the complimentary wine! On arrival, if you travel slowly, around 25 yards past the cottage, be careful not to miss the narrow gravel track on the right that takes you down to the front of the cottage. This saves you having to carry your luggage down a steep narrow footway.
Callakille
The Burnside Cottage at Callakille is ideal for people looking for peace and remoteness: There are only a few houses within three or more miles! It is cozy and lovingly furnished and well equipped. The cottage is an ideal base to explore the Applecross Peninsula. Applecross offers some well developed hiking trails, which are also not too difficult to master. If you want to eat out you find two or three places at Applecross village and nearby; In high season, be sure to make a reservation and find out if the restaurant is open. We spent a great week in Callakille, after crossing the Applecross Pass (don't miss the drive from the south, it's breathtaking! And watch out for the cyclists, they must be suffering quite a bit!), thanks to the owners.
Earth House
This property is superb, as are the owners supplying with everything we needed for our late arrival from their own refrigerator, also a lovey bottle of wine ???? the cottage is of the highest standard as us everything within, stunning views and so much wildlife including seal's just outside the picture window doors. We had one the best holidays ever coming away totally relaxed, cannot wait to return in the future.. thank you do very much
Seascape Cottage
This is one of the best cottages we have stayed in, very comfortable, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The location is fantastic With Sea views and a very short walk to the beach, the coastline & wildlife is amazing. Sarah made us very welcome and the excellent welcome basket was an added bonus. We will definitely return in the future and would highly recommend this cottage.

Leachachan Cottage
We had a wonderful week at Leachachan Cottage. The house has the most magnificent views of the Five Sisters and is extremely comfortable and stylish. We were thrilled to see a pine marten and badger in the garden. We will definitely be back.
Rhundunan
Great cottage with stunning views to the sea and the cuillin mountains. Very comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen and plenty of space to relax make this a perfect place to spend your holiday. The housekeeper is very friendly and helpful. The restaurant "Three Chimneys" is just around the corner and definitely worth a visit (reservation recommended).
Earth House
We spent an absolutely amazing week at this spectacular unique property, Donald was simply one of the best supplying us with the essentials we needed including a lovely bottle of wine until we could get to the shops the next day as we arrived quite late in the evening. We felt totally relaxed from day one enjoying the views and wildlife right outside our window, we both tried to find our artist within by having a go a watercolor painting which we thoroughly enjoyed with such beautiful scenery to inspire us.. we cannot recommend this property enough it was superb. Thank you, I'm positve you will see us again x
Eilean Mor Cottage
A great little cottage. Only negative thing I could say is that the hedges are a wee bit too high to enjoy the view, apart from that perfect!

Loch Cottage
A very special and beautiful location directly at Loch Pityoulish. We had a wonderful time. Even the weather was not very Scottish but much better than expected.
Seal Skerry Lodge
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Seal Skerry! The views were spectacular, the photos really don't do it justice. It is in a great location with lots of stunning walks on the doorstop. When we arrived the lodge was spotlessly clean was very impressed by how modern and well equipped it was, especially in the kitchen. Hope to be returning soon!
