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!
Strone
The cottage was in a excellent location, absolutely spectacular veiws of Loch Ness. Perfect for a relaxing holiday.
Grain Store
Beautiful accommodation. It was clean and tidy and well equipped. Light and spacious throughout. The grain store is in a stunning setting, beautiful view of the Carigomes national park. Thank you for a lovely stay
Strone
Great wee place to stay, Had everything that you would need for a holiday,The cottage was very clean.Would recommend staying here, Its quite central for exploring the highlands.
Tigh-na-Craobh (The Tree House)
We had a wonderful stage at Tigh-na-Craobh. It is in a lovely peaceful position and very central for exploring Skye. The kitchen was well equipped and very organised and clean. We enjoyed cooking there each evening. The bathrooms were also very clean and the showers had plenty of hot water. The whole standard of the house was very impressive. We arrived late and had informed Wilderness Cottages. It was great to arrive after midnight with the lights on and welcoming us in.

Leachachan Cottage
Our experience from start to finish was faultless. Leachachan cottage was exceptional. It has everything we needed. Everything thing in the cottage was excellent. No expense spared! I have to say the bed was even comfier than my own! The location and view was second to none. Friends are already asking me for the details! A little step to reach the washing machine drawer would be helpful for the vertically challenged. Thanks for a wonderful week.

Toberaie
A lovely old farmhouse with really beautiful views over the Cairngorms. A well appointed and super clean house. Comfy beds. Plenty of electric heating available if required. It was so cosy to fire up the wood burners on the cooler evenings and yes, matches, kindling and logs also provided. The surrounding area was great to explore, full of history and culture. Plenty of activities with cycling very popular.

Easter Knocklea Cottage
We have just spent an amazing week at Easter Knocklea Cottage. A beautiful property inside and out. Spacious, yet cosy, with many different seating areas. A well equipped kitchen, including an extra fridge and freezer in the very useful boot room! We enjoyed having meals in the conservatory where the views across the valley were amazing. We also spent lots of time sitting outside admiring the view and the wildlife. The property is in a secluded position, with just 1 near neighbour, but a very useful Spar shop in the village of Bellabeg a few miles down the road. We had a great time exploring the local area and the wider Cairngorm area including the Balmoral estate.

White-Tail Croft
We had a great time at White-Tail Croft. The accommodation is very comfortable, the views are fantastic and the house is very well-furnished. It's difficult to find anything much that could be improved but perhaps some black-out blinds in the bedrooms would be a good idea - it can be difficult to fall asleep on those light evenings/nights in the summer, especially for those of us used to darker skies!
The Mill
This is without a doubt one of the nicest holiday homes we have ever stayed in. The house was spotless, beautifully decorated and very well equipped in terms of amenities. The owners live on the same property and are very friendly.
Shellach Cottage
Shellach cottage is a lovely house in a great location and we very much enjoyed staying here. It's very comfortable, well equipped and well maintained.
Ceol na Mara
This cottage was all we were looking for. 50 metres to the water - which we did dip in on several occasions - seals swimming when the tide came in, herons and other birds and in the evening, the reddeers came by slow nibbling the grass. We could sit for hours just looking at the view of the Loch Kishon and Cuilins of Skye in the distance. Friendly neighbour also, we had a great time. The cottage was very clean and welcoming, perfect for a family of four adults, and "checking in" was no problem at all. Everything worked and we did not have the need for contacting the owner. As a matter of courtesy I informed of our arrival an departure per sms but did not receive a reply. Turned out the owner's number was a landline, but Wilderness Cottages made sure to inform the owner on our behalf. Dealing with Wilderness Cottages was also very easy and straighforward. Their representative was friendly and accommodating and made sure everything went smooth. I will not hesitate to recommend this cottage, it is exquisite and the location is epic. Also using Wilderness Cottages is highly recommended. /Ulf Herold-Jensen

We have been returning to the log house for 10 years now, love the place, it has everything you need for a peaceful holiday, having nature on your doorstep, and the walks in the forest and down the river walk are truly magnificent.

The Coltsfoots
Just back from our second visit to the Coltsfoots the first being 7 year ago. The accommodation is still first class with everything you could need for a self catering holiday. With two large en-suite bedrooms, a large very well equipped kitchen and a cosy sitting area with log burner all of which is scrupulously clean I would highly recommend a visit. Add to that the location - nestled in a well kept area with a large grass section, great for kids and dogs (yet only a ten min walk into the town) you can sit on the veranda and watch the resident red squirrels and numerous varieties of birds. The owner who is a lovely, helpful man is on hand should you have any problems or additional needs and should be commended on how clean and tidy he keeps the cabin and surrounding area. Thank you again for another wonderful visit to the Coltsfoot and Fort Augustus.
Earth House
We were unsure on what to expect in this unusual property. But it was beautiful. The property was warm and cosy with plenty of space. The ensuite bathrooms were fabulous and looking overview sea in the bath was a delight. The location is out of this world. And we spent most evening with a pair of binoculars on the terrace with a glass of whisky spotting wildlife. We spotted curlew, sea Eagle, oyster catchers and my favourite a seal with her pup at low tide right in front of us most days. Never saw the elusive otter though. Felt totally relaxed at the end of the week.
Learag
WOW what a fabulous place to stay, we absolutely loved it. The house is so beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, comfortable and well equipped. It's very rare to find a holiday home that ticks all the boxes but Learag does. Plus it's a wonderful place to unwind, relax and do a spot of wildlife and weather watching. We highly recommend a stay here. We will most definitely be back.
The Coltsfoots
This was our third stay in this lovely log cabin and everything was perfect. The log cabin is spotless and the kitchen is so well equipped with everything you could possibly wish for. It is situated in a beautiful secluded setting but close to the centre of Fort Augustus to enjoy meals out. This is definitely our favourite place to stay in the Highlands and we look forward to returning next year. Thank you.
Cedar Cottage
Our 3rd visit to this gem of a cottage, set in the forest, a stunning place to relax and unwind. The cottage was immaculate and a generous welcome pack on arrival, thank you. We absolutely love this cottage, so peaceful and a haven for watching the wildlife. Birds were in abundance and we were able to sit on the patio and watch the birds and red squirrels feeding in the tree just a few feet away. This visit we were lucky to see visiting pine martens in the garden every day. They made light work of the peanuts we left for them. The mother and kit was a joy to watch. The cottage has lots of stunning sandy beaches to visit a short drive away and we watched dolphins at Hopeman, Burghead and Cullen. We will return, feels like home from home here. Thank you
Cedar Cottage
Our 2nd visit to Cedar Cottage, if you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing place to stay the cottage is just perfect. Beautifully presented, a generous welcome pack and a lovely garden to sit and watch the wildlife. Squirrels are regular visitors to the feeding station and an abundance of birds daily. There are lots of forest walks directly from the door. Forres is only 15 minutes away for all your shopping needs. Lots of stunning beaches to visit just an hour away. The perfect place to unwind and relax. We will return again soon. Thank you
Red Kite Log Cabin
Absolutely loved our stay at Red Kite cottage. The cabin is well equipped and was immaculate, a generous welcome pack and fresh flowers, thank you. Margret and Paul were on hand if needed. The garden is well cared for and the views of the surrounding countryside is beautiful. We loved watching the red kites overhead and the lambs frolicking in the fields. The cottage is perfect for exploring the Black Isle, the proximity of the A9 makes exploring further afield easy ( we didn't notice any noise from the A9) only about 10 minutes from Inverness. Lots of lovely beaches and opportunities to watch for dolphins ???? on the Black Isle. A fantastic cottage to relax in. Looking forward to our next visit.
Leachachan Barn
First stayed in the barn 8 years ago and always said we would return, we stay in a cottage 4 or 5 times a year and have been all over Scotland but this has to be the best cottage views out them all , we spent the evenings watching the changing views of the 5 sisters and never had the tv on once A fantastic base for visiting the surrounding areas , Glenelg, Skye , Plockton etc . The only fault we could find with the cottage was the poor, uneven flooring between the front door and the bedroom, it really could do with being fixed but it wouldn't stop us from returning again Book it , you won't regret it

Tor Cottage
A fabulous place to stay. The house is outstanding, in a great location with exceptional views. We loved it!! Very comfortable, clean, well furnished, and very spacious. Ruth is a great host, very welcoming and friendly. We will definitely return to Tor Cottage if we go back to Harris!! We would highly recommend it.
Cedar Cottage
Lovely clean cottage in a very quiet get away from it all setting but only a short distance from amenities in Forres. Forest walks from the door. We had a lovely relaxing time.
