Upper Folds
Upper Folds far exceeded our expectations.. The cottage was immaculately clean, spacious, well equipped and furnished. It was a pleasant surprise to be provided wth the whole weeks supply of everyday items such as toilet paper! The cottage sits within a large dog proof enclosed garden for those 4 legged friends that can't be trusted with sheep (the property was surrounded by them). The location feels remote although only 10 minutes drive from Dufftown, As per the description it is accessed via an un-made track and ford (It's worth noting that there is a steep loose surfaced descent/ ascent either side of the ford which may prove a challenge in a fully laden 2 wheel drive!) . We had heavy snow on 4 of the 7 days stay, which we and the dog loved, but without a 4x4 we would certainly have been stuck! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Upper Folds and recommend to others! We will definitely be returning to the cottage and look forward to more of the excellent 'Eight Lands' Speyside Gin! Thank you!

Seahorses
Fantastic Holiday home with wonderful views.
Swallow Byre
Another fantastic week at Swallow Byre.
Seascape Cottage
Most fantastic cottage, homely, well furnished and equipped. Amazing welcome pack. Open the curtains in the morning and see deer munching grass, brown hares hopping by, birds of prey circling above or stroll 2 mins to the bay and see seals. Idyllic! Thank you for a wonderful week
Charleston
Really enjoyed our first stay in this lovely cottage. Very warm and comfortable with plenty of space. Amazing views and walks from the doorstep.
Learag
What a wonderful week we had. Learag is stunning and so comfortable. We had snow which was a little surprising in April but the house was cosy all week. It's really well located for virtually everything in this area - 15 minutes to Inverness, 2 minutes to the A9 bridge over the Cromarty Firth. Highly recommended.
Poulary Cottage
Very relaxing break in beautiful surroundings. The views from the cottage are phenomenal and we enjoyed walks, runs and kayaking and fantastic wildlife spots. Audrey had the place spotless, warm and cosy for our arrival. We took a tip from another review and took an inexpensive battery motion sensor light with us which worked well to illuminate pine marten visits without disturbing them - there are outside lights at the property entrances for coming and going, but none that shine on the bird table and decking. Really well equipped cottage and between the excellent heating and stove we were warm and cosy despite some very cold weather including snow. Full size freezer was great allowing us to take most of our food for the week and shower over bath is a decent electric model not just attached to the taps. Really nice decor with some lovely vintage furniture that added to the homely feel. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
Beach Lodge
This was our third visit to this cottage. The location and surroundings are superb and couldn't recommend highly enough. The one thing that could be done to make the holiday even better is the interior of the cottage. Whilst it is sufficient it could do with a little updating and decorating. The sofas as mentioned in someone else's review are a little tired and uncomfortable which makes it difficult to relax at the end of the day. The booking process is very efficient and the staff are more than helpful which is a delight.
Littlepark Cottage
Ardbeg
Ardbeg is a superb house situated in a small Highland village. The view from the lounge and balcony is panoramic with views across Loch Gairloch. All the rooms are finished to a high specification.
Tigh-na-Craobh (The Tree House)
Despite the April weather we had a lovely, cosy time at the house. It was very well equipped and had a few essentials to get you started off (loo rolls, dishwasher tabs, logs etc), as well as a little welcome gift. Needed to use the hot water booster for 4 showers in the morning, but that was all great once we'd worked out how to use it! Beautiful area, lovely views and lots of walks nearby, with Portree easily reached for shopping and eating out.
Poulary Cottage
A beautiful cottage in one of my favourite bits of the highlands. Great walks straight from the house, fishing if you want it, loads of birds (Golden Eagle over the house) and a warm comfortable place to stay.
Ardbeg
What a stunning location and a lovely holiday home to experience. Breathtaking views and incredible land and sea scapes are a constant experience from the property and the garden. Really well equipped home with all you need to relax and enjoy. Cannot recommend it highly enough
Matheson's Croft House
Very warm, cosy, great views, well located for touring Skye, comfortable and beautifully isolated. Shops are just a few miles away in Kyle of Lochalsh, close enough to get ice cream back before it melts. Loved it, and will definitely be booking for a stay here again.
Leachachan Barn
Stunningly beautiful Barn & area, we arrived on a Saturday and had rebooked for the following year by the end of Monday..it's that good!
Seascape Cottage
Our second stay at Seascape again what a fantastic place, so peaceful and breathtaking views. Sarah is a brilliant host goes above and beyond to make your stay memorable. Had our 2 rescue dogs with us this time and they were the happest we had ever seen them really brought them out their shells. Can't wait until our next visit.
Tor Cottage
Breath taking location with well equipped accommodation. Panoramic view from the cottage, including seascape and wildlife. Lovely hosts would highly recommend.
Shore Cottage
Superb and unique location. A minor local issue which was responded too very promptly by the local contact, Gus. Very remote and quite. Deer in the garden most mornings, dog running on the beech, waves gently crashing in. Family of Stonechats pecking the window. No internet, no phone signal like being on a desert island.Suggest a 4 wheel type vehicle a must. Would do it again!
Fhaireag
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.
