Matheson's Croft House

Would highly recommend the cottage, lovely secluded location with great views. It is very comfortable and the wi-fi was brilliant for our teenager daughter to keep in touch with her friends. It had all the amenities needed. We stayed for 2 weeks and had the bonus of mostly sunny weather. Lovely location near to Isle of Skye which was well worth visiting.

Callakille

Thank you for such a memorable holiday in your beautiful cottage - so well organised, clean and comfortable. It is in the most amazing location surrounded by nature - wonderful sightings of eagles on the fence posts and sea otters playing on the rocks on the beach below, deer and a cheeky pine marten at the walled garden, not forgetting the sheep, highland cattle, sounds of the sea and natural arch down from the cottage. We had wonderful walks along the coast, the rivers, lochs and mountains all made extra special by the most amazing week of sunshine! Fantastic food at the walled garden and fish and chips from the Innside out, the two grocery stores and the most delicious smoked salmon pate, hot smoked salmon and dill mustard sauce from Torridon Smokehouse in Shieldaig. The kitchen was perfectly equipped with everything you could need, so home cooked food and picnics are easy too - even scales, so pancakes for breakfast and scones for afternoon tea went down a treat! We stocked up on some food before arriving and bought locally for other items which worked out perfectly. After a long day of walking and exploring, relaxed tired muscles in the magnificent bath with an enviable view, cups of tea on the bench in the garden and spectacular evening sunset viewings! What a week! It has been fantastic! An absolutely perfect, long awaited holiday and a place we will certainly return to.

Seal Skerry Lodge

Fabulous lodge in a stunning location over looking Loch Pooltiel, amazing views from every window!! Very well designed with all the comforts required! Telescope well used to see the seals on the rocks every day! Log burner a great feature! Good walk round Milovaig with incredible scenery! Lodge only 3 miles from the lighthouse at Neist point which is well worth seeing! Good base to explore the island and fantastic place to return and chill out in the evenings! Can't wait to return!!

Christies

Taffs Barn

What a wonderful week in this beautiful part of Scotland! We were blessed with reasonable weather which meant that we were able to get out and about without worrying about the raincoats! Taffs Barn is set in an idyllic location, with stunning views and the peace and quiet we were looking for. The cottage is spacious, comfortable and very well equipped; bedrooms are massive, with sleep inducing beds! The owner, (lovely Pat), had left us the most delicious home made scones, jam and cream which were very welcome after our long journey north. There was also a vase of flowers in the lounge, which included beautifully scented stocks. The area had much for us to explore, with Rosemarkie beach, the Fairy Glen and Fortrose a few minutes away; Inverness itself is close at hand too. We also ventured a little further north to Dornoch, which had a glorious beach along with a gourmet catering van providing such delights as venison and lobster. We loved every minute of our time here, and plan to return very soon.

Port Elgol Cottage

We last stayed at Port Elgol cottage in 2013. Lovely to return to this charming cottage on the shore at Elgol. It is a stunning location which I love. The garden was looking beautiful. Hopefully it wont take us so long to return again.

Tor Cottage

An exceptional location, in a truly splendid house. A real Scottish island gem.

The Mill at Glenlivet

Ardrannach

We had a fantastic holiday at Ardrannach. The cottage was lovely but needing some TLC. The views from the cottage were spectacular. It was so quiet and peaceful - just what we needed. Andrew was very friendly and helpful. Lots of walks from the cottage. Loved it.

Sixgeary

A beautifully appointed cottage in a stunning location on waternish. Would very highly recommend - we had a truly magical week here.

The Coltsfoots

Wow what can I say about this lodge. Amazing, close enough to the shops to walk but far enough away for peace and quiet. A lovely base to be able to explore the highlands Everything was perfect from the moment we arrived to when we left. We met the owner who was absolutely lovely when we arrived and he even came to see us before we left. Loved the place and cant wait to be back next year

Reyflat Barn

Spacious and comfortable accommodation in a quiet location with extensive rural views. It had a lovely lounge, a delightful balcony and a sunny patio, all alongside a welcoming owner.

Timber House

An Airidh

The Barn, Corrimony

This property was the best we have ever stayed in. It was in a beautiful rural location, the Barn was equipped to an exceptional standard clearly no expense spared. Mamie the owner was close by and was a very helpful and informative owner. We will give this property a five star rating but it goes way above that standard.we will hopefully return.

Katie's Cottage

We had a fabulous week in Katie's cottage with glorious weather. Our first trip to Skye and we couldn't have wished for a better location. Loved Glendale and the Duirinish peninsula. So many stunning walks, a well stocked local shop and an amazing place to eat next door (Chidakashka). The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. We hope to return.

Pooltiel House

Pooltiel House was wonderful, we loved our stay there. The view alone was reason enough to stay, but the house was also very spacious and well equipped. Wildnerness Cottages were very responsive and helpful. We had a brilliant stay! I'd definitely recommend.

Beech Lodge

Cedar Cottage

What an absolutely lovely stay in cedar cottage. Beautiful location (even if a tiny bit tricky to find at first!) The images of the cottage on the website don't do it justice at all. Cottage was beautifully clean and everything had been thought of. A lovely welcome pack was waiting for us too. Good layout and plenty of space for 2 adults, 2 children and a large dog. Lots of walks from the cottage, plenty to do within an hours drive. Really enjoyed all the wildlife in the garden including daily visits from 2 red squirrels. Everything we needed was at this cottage plus more. We hope to stay again in the future. Thank you for a beautiful base for a lovely holiday.

Charleston

Just returned from our amazing trip to the highlands. Charleston was a home from home , everything we needed , very clean and well kept. Above all was the location, what a view from the house. We never tired from waking up to that breathtaking view over looking the loch. Perfect location for exploring the surrounding areas.

Swallow Byre

A week spent in cosy, pleasant and comfortable cottage. Lovely situation with views to kill for when you walk up to the hill-top at the back of the Byre. Gloriously quiet and peaceful, fresh air and warm rain with free range cattle and sheep for company. Could not have wished for a better host in Jane who went out of her way to ensure that we had the best experience. Just sorry that Wilderness were unable to reply to my request for fishing details however Jane stepped in and local Trust office very helpfull in this respect. Overall superb holiday.

Pityoulish Cottage

We had a fantastic week at this perfectly situated cottage. Beautiful views over the River Spey and just a couple of minutes walk to the loch where we spent many hours swimming and paddle boarding. The cottage had everything we needed. I hope we can return again sometime soon!

Stablemans Lodge

Great lodge, has everything you need in a good location.

Upper Folds

If you want to stay in a place 'away from it all' then this is the cottage for you. No wifi, no TV, no phone signal - absolute bliss. Really enjoyed the peace and tranquillity and the ability to press the 'reset' button. Lovely cottage in the middle of nowhere with lots of opportunities for walking and not too far from the coast. We visited Spey Bay and Findhorn. Enjoyed a lovely meal at Seven Stills French restaurant in Dufftown.

Old Stables

This was our second visit to The Old Stables and we had a fantastic time. The property offers very comfortable large rooms with all the facilities you could want or need. The area has lots of interesting things to do with lots of varied walks on the doorstep.

Roseville

Great cottage. Very nicely renovated in a perfect location. Everything we needed was included in the cottage, and it was spotlessly clean. So many great things to do in close proximity, beaches, mountains, etc.

The Challey at Heathcote

Learag

We have had an amazing week at Learag. The view is very beautiful and the house is luxurious. the welcome basket full of treats was delicious and the large TV was really entertaining. We watched a lot of movies. The Highlands is a gorgeous place to visit. We went on 2 cruises and saw some lovely countryside. We also loved when Nova (the little dog from next door0 came to visit. Thank you for a great holiday.

Port Elgol Cottage

The cottage was in a beautiful location with spectacular views over the Cullins. It was very well equipped and spotlessly clean. There was a good amount of hot water and we enjoyed having a relaxing bath after a long day walking. We had a lovely week enjoying this peacefull and isolated area. You might want to consider replacing the mattress on the double bed as it was very uncomfortable . The interior of the cottage is clearly 20 years old and it needs an upgrade.

Wilderness Cottages Replied...

Thank you for your review and feedback. The owners are planning upgrades to the interior, including a new mattress and other furnishings.

Learag

We had a fabulous holiday at Learag. The property is stunning with so many thoughtful touches. The photographs on the site don't really do justice to the size and loveliness of this property. If you are looking for peace, quiet and lots of nature, this is the property to look at. We will be returning when we can.

The Coltsfoots

The Coltsfoots was a great place to stay. Comfortable and clean and plenty of space for the 4 of us. Both bedrooms are en- suite and plenty of hot water for showers. Lovely big kitchen which Was very well equipped. Surrounding area was fantastic. A short walk into town and it was nice to sit outside a pub and watch the boats go through the locks.

Littlepark Cottage

Pier Head

This was our second time at Pier Head and that should tell you enough! The cottage itself is in a fantastic location with great views over the loch, (This year we were lucky enough to see dolphins), It's a great size easily accommodating six adults. Everything is finished to a very high standard and is spotlessly clean. I cannot recommend this cottage highly enough.

Achbeag

Lovely cottage, fabulous scenery, but it is remote. The road in and out of the peninsula is only 11 miles but it will take you over half an hour due to the one track, winding nature of the road. The other way, via Applecross, is longer and spectacularly scary at times. Fun to drive for me, scary for my wife! Everything you need in a cottage is there apart from TV - they have no licence or connection to any TV, land based, Freeview or satellite. It is only linked up to a DVD player and some DVDs are there. There was no hot water when we arrived but this was fixed within two days and was no problem as they have a really good electric shower in the upstairs shower room. A nice big comfy bed in the master bedroom. Overall, a really nice place to stay

Udrigle House

Excellent traditional house lovingly restored. Owners were extremely helpful and friendly. Amazing features such as marriage box double bed, Rayburn and top floor sauna. Location and views from the property fantastic - looking north towards the summer isles and mountains of Assynt. Great local amenities - Laide post office, Ault Bea stores and Perfume Cafe and Poolewe market, cafe and shop. Would go there again in a heartbeat.

The Granary

Lovely time at the Granary house had everything you would need for a comfortable relaxing stay. Great position within waking distance of good pubs/eateries. Welcoming hosts there if you need them but not intrusive. Beautiful walks nearby and Inverness a short drive away. Would definitely recommend

South Lodge

South Lodge is in the most remote and stunning location. Inside, it was faultless. One aspect of my stay that you may wish consider in your description of the property is this: I drive an Audi RS3 > a high performance 4 door sports saloon with Audi RS Sport Wheels and Tyres. On the last few hundred yards of my journey I had to drive down a very poor condition track. I could have walked quicker. If I had a 4 x 4, it would not have been a problem. The track could have damaged my car....but it didn't thank goodness. It would have ruined my holiday if it had!

Oak Cottage

We had the loveliest week in Oak Cottage. The cottage is so clean and cosy, the location is wonderful and the extra touches to make the holiday special are just perfect. Thank you for a lovely holiday we will be back again!

Beech Lodge

The Mill at Glenlivet

Ardrannach

What a lovely cottage in tranquil surroundings with magical views of the surrounding mountains. Only 30 minutes walk through the woods. Down a steep forest path to portree. The owners are marvellous with everything you need at hand. The open fire is so do wonderful. Wilderness cottages were also a pleasure to deal with and will certainly use them again in the future

Rowan Ridge

Taffs Barn

Excellent cottage which was very spacious and comfortable and great surroundings. The cottage had everything you could except modern and very clean. The owner was very hospitable and I would say probably ranked one of the best cottages I have stayed in the Highlands without a doubt. I would most certainly love to return with the family and stay again. Thank you for an excellent stay and I was using Wilderness Cottages for the first time.

Aros Beag

Ceol na Mara

The location of this cottage is truly exceptional. Your front garden is literally the beach. The view in every direction is fantastic, looking across the loch to Skye or simply watching the weather passing over Applecross. The cottage is spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Plenty of walks on the doorstep to suit every ability and loads of opportunities to watch the wildlife. Local dining out is also fantastic. Only negative (or positive depending on your outlook) is the phone signal is weak/intermittent. Simply the best cottage we have ever stayed in.

Ardbeg

Ardbeg is a lovely cottage in a stunning location. We could have looked at the view from the deck for hours. Everything had been thought of to ensure a lovely and relaxing holiday. We particularly appreciated the BBQ and outdoor seating. The availability of 2 separate indoor seating areas will be great for mixed age family groups. The cottage was exceptionally well maintained and spotless.

The Lookout

Upper Folds

Very comfortable and cosy cottage in beautiful surroundings. Extremely peaceful location with splendid wildlife and walks from the door. Within easy reach of the Cairngorms and the north coast, we would recommend staying here. A brief note about the track up to the property; in this (very wet) summer it was easily passable in my Vitara (a 'road' AWD), so something like that or a 4WD Qashqai etc would be fine. In the winter it might be a different story.

Stoer Lodge

We loved our week at Stoer Lodge. This cottage has loads of character and history. There's some lovely touches - the old school chairs, the photos and many of the original features. The cottage is well equipped and was spotlessly clean. Stoer beach is easy to access, there's some fabulous walks and the assynt region definitely worth the long drive north.

Cluny Croft

Nice spacious cottage, very well equipped with everything we need. The furnishings are dated but all functional. Location is remote, and that's great if it's what you want but can't nip to a shop!! Beautiful scenery.
