Stoer Lodge
We had a fabulous week - lovely cottage, great spot, and we were blessed with very sunny weather (end May to early June).
Cedar Cottage
Cedar Cottage is the most perfect cottage for those wanting a bit of isolation. It's up a forest track, only a handful of houses about 5 mins away. There is an abundance of Birdlife and DAILLY sightings in the garden of red squirrels. We had 3 at one time one morning. Forres only a few miles away. Large supermarket (Tesco) If required. The cottage is well equipped and VERY clean. It's quite simply perfect!

What an excellent holiday home. The house was in a beautiful situation and very well- appointed. The booking process was straightforward and the contacts were friendly and welcoming.

Shore Cottage
Absolutely beautiful location. Rustic cottage which completely suited our needs. Seclusion was great and the beach was ours to roam alone. Cottage has everything you'll need. Views across to the Northern Irish coast are stunning along with the local beauty. Cannot rate the place highly enough. My family and I (we have 2 teenage daughters) loved every minute. Wilderness Cottages were amazing throughout, great communication and very helpful. Brilliant.
Seal Skerry Lodge
Seal Skerry Lodge is in a perfect setting and the wonderful architectural design and furnishings really make the most of its position. We enjoyed using the telescope watching the seals. All the appliances worked well although we thought there weren't enough kitchen utensils, cutlery, dishes, pots and pans etc. Given there's a dishwasher, we had to wash up regularly between dishwasher use. Regarding cleanliness within the property, we felt this slightly fell short of what we had expected for a holiday let of this standard. Perhaps the owners need to think about more time allocation for the housekeeper, and also allocating time for a deep clean every so often.

As Wilderness Cottages are the booking agents we have contacted the owner to discuss your feedback. The owner has raised your issues with the housekeeper and this will be dealt with at the next changeover.

Ceol na Mara
My son and I had a brilliant week at Ceol na Mara - what an amazing place to be on the banks of Loch Kishorn. We adored the venue and enjoyed lots of walks from the cottage. The cottage itself was perfect for us and very clean, welcoming and comfortable. Our host left us flowers, chocolates and shortbread too! It is a magical place and for us, totally wonderful.
White-Tail Croft
White Tail Croft is a special place. It is in the moorland outside Portree, Isle of Skye, providing stunning views of the countryside (including many sheep and lambs), with eagles, raptors and many other birds floating on the air currents. The cottage itself is quite lovely, modern and includes all the necessary amenities. If a peaceful holiday is what you desire, this is the place.

Ceol na Mara
An absolute pleasure to stay in this exceptional cottage. Fully equipped kitchen and immaculately presented throughout. Deers strolled by in morning and evening often resting on the front lawn, Stunning views from the lounge onto the sea Loch where we saw seals, numerous birds and in the distance the Cuillin Hills on Skye. There are walking trails nearby, but if your after total relaxation therapy, this is the place for you,
Earth House
The location of the Earth House is exceptionally beautiful, so peaceful, we saw Minke Whales, Otters and a Sea Eagle all from the house. Externally the house was an amazing construction, sympathetically built to blend in with its surroundings. Internally the cottage was well equipped, but the furnishings were rather uncomfortable and the twin bedroom only had a roof light that you could not see out of or open. Because of the location I would rate this as Good overall.

Udrigle House
We stayed at Udrigle House near Laide. It is a beautiful old house, very well maintained and a lovely place to stay, being within a few yards of a quiet stretch of the seashore. We booked the house only a few weeks before our holiday. The booking process was simple and straightforward.
Ardbeg
Fantastic cottage and stunning views We had a fabulous time in this house and in beautiful Gairloch My daughter will be booking for next year,as will myself and my husband One of the best holiday homes I have had the privilege of staying in. I must also mention the extremely friendly and helpful staff at Wilderness Cottage, Lovely people

Excellent cottage with wonderful views out to sea to Skye and beyond. The steep drive could prove a problem to some cars.

Strone
Basic but nice cottage clean and comfortable in a good location for exploring the area. The track leading to the property is very uneven and may cause issues with people with mobility issues. Parking is also quite awkward.

Learag
The house is perfectly situated to explore the area. Having the very kind and helpful owners just next door was appreciated, however privacy was fully granted. We loved the spotlessly clean, new and proper house where nothing was missing and the furnishing with its personal touch. We can highly recommend this property.
South Lodge
From first enquiry to stepping through the door of the stunning holiday Cottage everything went perfectly! Great company to deal with ! Would definitely recommend to others and use again !
Leachachan Barn
Just back from a wonderful week near Skye, staying in a converted barn on the shores of a loch, overlooking the mountains. Wilderness Cottages has some really beautiful places to rent, and the people who run it are very helpful and attentive.

Shellach Cottage
What a lovely setting and a lovely cottage. Everything you would or could need its a home from home. A welcoming stack of tummels and milk in the fridge. It was warm so I didn't need to light either the fire or log burner. There were instructions about all the utilities. Location over the Loch. When we arrived there were deer in the garden. So many birds and wildlife around. Very quiet, peaceful and a time to rest. I had never been to the Highlands before, I will definitely be coming back. The village is a short walk away with two petrol stations, a spar, a couple of eateries Lochcarron Hotel open all day lovely scones and coffee, waterside cafe also has nice food. Rock villa and Butchers not open all the time booking is needed for the Bistro. Plockton is a lovely village, you can go by train or drive there are boat trips with Calum to see the seals. . Kishorn has a lovely seafood bar. The roads are narrow and there are passing places.

Strone
Property is in a great location but access may be difficult for some especially with mobility issues. Parking is awkward due to a very uneven driveway with a sharp bend which is poorly lit. Property was very clean upon arrival with comfy beds and plenty of blankets and towels. Received a welcome pack of wine, flowers, bread and milk which was nice. Little details missing such as a shower caddy, one mirror in the entire house located in the bedroom. We have stayed in many properties through Wilderness Cottages, this one is by far the least equipped. Overall we enjoyed our stay, guess we just miss the comforts of home.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and feedback on Strone Cottage. We have discussed this with the owner who has now addressed these issues where required.
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

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

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.
