Log House
A wonderful secluded peaceful location, with many beautiful walks. Genuine log cabin with all the amenities you could ever need. Warm and cosy cabin, with extremely comfortable beds and hot shower. We'll definitely be back.
Tor Cottage
Quality accommodation!
Cedar Cottage
Had a lovely week here, the cottage was lovely and spotless. This is the first time ever we have not had to clean anything on arrival. The countryside is lovely peaceful and quiet. Close at hand beaches lovley towns and villages. Sitting outside Iin the garden being joined by the red squirrels and birds on the feeder tree. Going back next year.
Udrigle House
House is set in a lovely location, was clean on arrival, owners leave nearby and on hand to sort out any issues. On arrival we were told the sauna was not working, which was not an issue for us. Although there is WiFi the speed is very slow, I ended up using my phone network as it was faster. The house is full of character, but it's a big place and does take some warming up
Ceol na Mara
We much enjoyed our stay - particularly as Ceol na Mara is right on the shore, with no traffic at all in front. There are a number of very picturesque places nearby to visit by car, such as Applecross and Plockton and there are shops a few miles down the road at Loch Carron. The cottage was well-fitted and extremely clean. We hope to come again.
Seal Skerry Lodge
Fantastic week holiday - great location , looking onto the loch, watching seals daily even a family of 3 otters. Well equipped, didn't need the fire as so warm in the lodge . Even the roads locally just been repaved- needed. A short drive to Neist Point , Thoroughly recommended, 5 stars
Swallow Byre
Unfortunately, this property is no longer with Wilderness Cottages.
Leachachan Barn
What a super house! Its been said by others, but can stand saying again - the house is wonderfully designed, spendidly equipped, and perfectly located. It was very nicely prepared and presented for us. We met the charming gentleman who tends to the property both inside and out who gave us tips about where to walk and where to eat. The house has left its mark on us. After playing the piano in the house ( for the first time in over 50 years ) ( how many holiday cottages offer this ? ) one of the first things we did on our return was to order one of our own; and we fell for the wonderfully efficient log burner ( yes, we did not have the best of weather) and plan to replace ours with one similar. This was our first dealings with Wilderness Cottages, and we suspect it will not be our last. We have a "house rule" which states that we never return to any holiday location - but if we didn't, we would !!
White-Tail Croft
Our 5th stay at White Tail Croft and once again it was perfect for exploring Skye. Really well equipped and comfortable with beautiful views. We appreciated the fizz and treats after a long journey. Highly recommended.
Arrivain Cottage
Love, Love, loved it, what more can we say that hasn't been said already about this wonderful property, it was just perfect in every way and everything that we hoped it would be and was in a great position to explore the area and it was always lovely to return to Arrivain after a day out and observe the wildlife and take in the peace and tranquility that was all around; Highly recommended
Sealight
This was our first stay at Sealight and we were not disappointed in any way. It is a beautiful, large property with everything you could possibly want or need for a comfortable stay, and with a view to impress. The wildlife watching kept us busy, with birds, deer and pine martens. You will not be disappointed if you choose to stay at Sealight.
Tigh-na-Craobh (The Tree House)
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cottage and would not hesitate to return or to recommend it. The location is peaceful with pretty, gentle views and it is well situated for touring the rest of Skye. The cottage is well equipped, warm and comfortable, though with mild, sunny weather we didn't put the wood burning stove to the test. The lack of curtains in the living area was initially off putting but as we got used to it we wouldn't have wanted to block out the views with curtains. A very enjoyable and comfortable stay - we'd love to come back.

Seascape Cottage
We all have different wants and needs from the place we are going to call home for a short period, We wanted Wilderness!, hence the website, we wanted by the coast, hence "seascape", we wanted seclusion, peace and an environment opposite to our manicured grasslands, inland farming location. To have all this I expected we would have to compromise on something, perhaps bed comfort, water temperature, view etc, How wrong I was, Seascape delivered on everything and in all cases surpassed all expectations. The complementary welcome pack was a lovely surprise, the cottage was homely, well equipped, Sarah was a delight! Location, well where else can you watch the solan goose diving for fish " from your bed" If you have a love for the wild and woolly rugged west coast with its secret bays and rocks, tides and changeable weather, this cottage does what it says on the tin. Go and experience, you will not regret it, and probably remember it for ever. ( Note! Pubs and shops a short drive) just stock up. Advice! do not take the sports car as you may lose the exhaust going down the lane. Enjoy
Eilean Mor Cottage
We found Eilean Mor Cottage perfect for our requirements. Functional and well equipped. Cosy and clean with a really nice heatet conservatory with good views over Loch Dunvegan and the garden. Thus making rainy indoor days enjoyable. The cottages situation is very suitable for exploring western and North West Skye by car.
Shore Cottage
2nd stay here. Still love it. It was like we were here last week. Still exactly the same. Full of rustic charm. Track down to it is getting pretty rough but can be negotiated with care. The weather this time was amazing. We even got a little sunburnt lazing on the decking & long beach walks with our crazy collies Jess & Macy. Once again... this location is so secluded & just stunning. Plenty of wildlife around, deer on the surrounding hills & in the garden ( Macy wasn't a fan ), Cows, rabbits, birds of prey, red squirrels, fox, pheasants. No wi-fi & almost no cell phone signal.. loved it. Will hopefully return next year.
Tor Cottage
Fantastic accommodation in an out of this world setting .Great hosts Would highly recommend it.
Leachachan Barn
Leachachan Barn is a delightful place to stay - in our case this was for a week, but longer would be much better if we had the time. The barn is really well appointed and certainly had everything we could ask for. A completely secure garden is a great bonus when you bring your dog. The surrounding area is beautiful and offers many places to visit and some fantastic walks. This was our second time at Leachachan, and it will not be our last.

Shore Cottage
Great location. The beach is beautiful, to sit in the sunshine on the decking under a cloudless sky and watch the Irish Sea is a rare treat and surely what we all visit this place for. However the cottage itself could do with a facelift starting with the decor. The whole place needs decorating and the dull old pictures need replacing. The bed is rather narrow too. However the cottage is well equipped. The heating works well and the fire Is an added bonus. Wi-Fi should be installed as a matter of urgency and a better tv is needed. Once again though the location is spectacular.
Ceol na Mara
We recently stayed for our 5th visit to one of the cottages, think that says it all... Wilderness Cottages kept us upto date, informed on everything we needed, would recommend them.
Seascape Cottage
Not long back from our fabulous 14 day stay at Seascape Cottage. We all love this little peace of heaven, especially our 4 year old granddaughter and both our dogs. We even had a few dips in the Irish Sea at Dally Bay, on our doorstep. Sarah is the most amazing host and on hand if needed, and not intrusive at all. We all can't wait for our next trip to Seascape Cottage ??. The Hayter Family x
Strone
Strone Cottage is situated in the perfect spot to travel around the area but also to spend time enjoying the beautiful views from the cottage! The accommodation was perfect for our needs and had everything to make our stay perfect.
Charleston
A lovely example of a cottage bearing true testimony to their name....we stayed in beautifully appointed accommodation in the middle of nowhere. It was just great doing boring stuff - getting up late, leisurely brunch and then reading in a lovely sunroom - perfect way to recharge the batteries. Beautiful countryside and nice to see the wildlife close up too. Not that we overdosed on chilling out - we went out to some of the lovely areas close to us - Fort Augustus is a must, Inverness and Dingwall too. Also made time for a couple of longer walks close by to the Cottage. Go on; book it!!
Old Lock Keepers Cottage
What a fantastic holiday we had at The Old Lock Keepers Cottage. Beautiful cottage, beautiful scenery. It's the 2nd time we've booked with Wilderness cottages &ot certainly won't be the last, thank you so much.
Cameron's Cottage
This is our first stay at Cameron's Cottage. What a stay we have had!... It's was amazing. The cottage was clean, well kept and very well equipped. It was both warm and welcoming. The views are lovely, able to look down the valley to the fields where the horses, Highland cattle roam, geese and other wild birds have great fun on the pool. The cottage is also dog friendly, our boys loved having a plod around the garden. The tea room isn't too far to walk to. Which Morag also owns - sadly we ran out of time to pay a visit - but it was always busy. Both Ali and Morag are very friendly and helpful and are always at the end of the phone if you need anything. We will be booking again at Cameron's Cottage.
Toberaie
Nothing had quite prepared us for Toberaie's spectacular high hillside setting, and the breathtaking views of the Cairngorm massif and western skies that only got better as the days passed. The house and its family history are sturdy and comforting, giving a feeling of rootedness in that wildly beautiful place. And whilst amply equipped as a holiday cottage (including such luxuries as a dishwasher, electric blankets and wood-burning stoves!), it is Toberaie's situation and drama that give you what you really need from a holiday in this sublime area: endlessly rewarding walks from the front door in authentically Scottish nature; awe-inspiring views that put everything back into perspective; and true, priceless tranquility. Toberaie was just exactly what we'd been longing for - and then some.
Earth House
What a haven from real life! The house is so different..and quirky, in all the right ways. Warm and welcoming too. The hosts were so friendly and helpful and all praise to their housekeepers. Saw one of the otters four times while I was there, twice on a rock eating fish and grooming, thanks to the telescope provided. Some Large birds diving headlong into the sea. Only suggestion would be a bird/wildlife book. The 180 degree view is unbeatable..and I am used to the west coast. Early morning sunrises beyond belief. Staff at Laide post office so friendly and helpful and a great wee shop. Mellon Udrigle beach a mile away spectacular. Sandy/pebble shore outside the house also wonderful. Cannot praise the place enough. I will be back.
Stablemans Lodge
Thanks so much for an fantastic stay - we loved Stablemans Lodge. When we arrived, the log burner was warm and there was a lovely hamper, which were such nice personal touches. The accommodation is very comfortable and well set out with plenty of space and everything we needed, It is well located in Grantown for exploring the area. Lots of outside parking and a fantastic covered veranda for drying wet/muddy clothes and shoes. The owners also let us use the shed for storing a bike, which we]as excellent. All in all a superb property.
Charleston
This property is exactly what it says in its description.. It is up a private lane with gates to keep the sheep out.. It is set in fantastic views with a large(enclosed) garden and very very private. It is sheep land and sheep are all around you so dogs do when outside garden have to be kept on the lead. The property inside is great ,spacious with everything you need and was spotless .Views from all rooms especially the sun room are amazing. Inverness was 30 minutes away so shopping was easy and lots to do close by with Fort William an hour/ Fort Augustus 30 minutes.. Would go back in a minute so very quiet/peaceful This is the 2nd cottage we have visited through Wilderness Different
Log House
We had a fantastic holiday at a fantastic Log House in fantastic weather. Loved every minute of the wonderful surroundings and locations. Can't wait to get back to the forest for another week, preferably 2.
Fearnmore Church
What a magical place! Thank you for a wonderful stay. We hope to return again very soon.
White-Tail Croft
This is a very welcoming place to stay. Fizz and treats and generously offered with firewood, food essentials and more. It's well equipped for cooks and comfortable with Bluetooth portable speaker, a good quality TV and that fabulous sauna for when the weather makes staying in with a fire and books a great option. Large picture windows, deer and buzzards coming quite near. The house is really lovely, modern, well designed and easily the best place we have stayed at in Scotland (and we come annually) and the photos don't really do it full justice as it's much roomier than we expected. It feels quite isolated but really quite near to Portree for eating out and shopping. Two small points: This is a very individual thing but for us the bed was quite hard so maybe either bring a soft topper or perhaps the owners can store one away for us softies. Also the food cupboard at the far left was so full that there is now nowhere in the kitchen cupboards to put anything that you bring or buy. But they are tiny things and we were so happy to be there. Highly recommended and thank you for sharing your wonderful place in Skye.
Leachachan Barn
Beautiful barn in a stunning location. Great if you are looking for complete relaxation mixed with exploring the area and the Isle of Skye. 2nd time we have been and booked again for 2024

Toberaie
We booked Toberaie to get away, be remote and have the winter wilderness experience - and boy did we get it! Arrived in very heavy snow and temperatures of minus 10. It is a rustic old cottage with a lot of character and history which we loved. No central heating but fire wood provided, electric heaters and the real treat for us were the electric blankets. We needed them! The views are absolutely amazing, night stars, complete silence, it was a wonderful get away for us. Kids can just go out and explore, they loved it . Kitchen had everything we needed and although small, functioned well for us. Like other reviews living room fire chews up the wood and doesn't give out too much heat (although we really did have very low temperatures) so we just shut the door to the living room and lived in the dining room - that stove works well and is fairly economical with the wood usage. We enjoyed our time there, and since being home the children keep asking to go back, so I think we will be back!
South Lodge
Very warm and comfortable little lodge. Ideal for bird/ wildlife spotting.
Leachachan Cottage
Exceptional cottage. Spacious, fantastic views from nearly every window and a wonderful location for outdoor pursuits.

Seahorses
What a beautiful location, wonderful cottage with all the modern conveniences, stunning views overlooking Loch Nedd and beyond into the Atlantic Ocean . All the weather you could ever want in one week , Snow,Fog,Torrential rain and Gales but it didn't matter when you could just stay in and watch it all go by. Would highly recommend it if you want to get away from it all.
Log House
A really unique place to stay, a genuine log cabin. Plenty of heating (which was necessary when we went, lots of snow, beautiful scenery) and the beds are really comfortable. Great location with less than a five minute drive from Fort Augustus which is a lovely little town. Only one suggestion for an improvement would be to add a hand rail to the shower wall as an added safety measure getting in and out. A lovely property!
The Barn, Corrimony
Unfortunately, this property is no longer with Wilderness Cottages.
Ceol na Mara
We had the most amazing time staying at ceol na mara. First class accommodation very clean and tidy and fantastic view. The stags walked past the window overlooking the loch with the isle of sky in the distance. Great walks arnd there also. Me and my partner travel to scotland 3/4 times a year and I have to say its bin one of the best so far. Great relaxing location also. We look forward to booking again.
Cala
This is a wonderful place, a beautifully conceived and executed house design in a stupendous setting. The house is extremely well appointed and I could have spent all week looking at the view from the living room or the outside deck. Two days of snowfall meant that I was slightly restricted in how much of the surrounding area that I could explore but what I did see only whetted my appetite to return to take in more of the hills, lochs, beaches of near white sand and azure seas. The unexpected bonus was learning that Assynt is "a Mecca for geologists" initiating a new found interest in geology.
