White-Tail Croft
Greatest cottage I ever stayed in on holiday. Great comfort, very well equipped, incredible surrounding. I stayed with my wife and our 2 sons (10 and 14 years old). We enjoyed the sauna. Perfect kitchen with everything you need to prepare a nice meal or breakfast. We will book the White Tail Croft again, for sure!!!
Cedar Cottage
A peaceful and relaxing week in a truly outstanding cottage. Lots of lovely walks both from the cottage and further afield. We saw red squirrels and woodpeckers in the garden. The welcome gifts of chocolates and wine were a thoughtful gesture, much appreciated. Highly recommended.
Leachachan Cottage
Stunning location with an amazing view across the loch to the Five Sisters. House has been renovated to the highest specifications and has very good quality furniture, linen, kitchen equipment and excellent WiFi. The owners have provided a fascinating background history about the croft and how it has been in their family for many years. Located in a really peaceful area on a quiet single track road. It is well placed for walking and for driving to lots of places of interest. We had a lovely relaxing stay and would highly recommend a visit to the cottage.
Shore Cottage
Shore cottage was recommended to us by a friend so we understood the wonderful isolation it was going to offer and superb views, the cottage is adequate and homely, the open fire in the living room is lovely, shame the log burner in the conservatory was out of action. The advice that a 4 wheel drive vehicle is required to gain access from the main Highway must be adhered to as the rough track from the farm needs this type of vehicle to complete your journey to Shore Cottage, plenty of ground clearance on the vehicle is essential, particularly once you cross the bridge for the final part of the journey. Overall a wonderful holiday cottage sited in a beautiful area, just wish the road ways in and out were more accessible. Also local golf courses at Portpatrick and Stranraer are lovely enjoyable courses.
Stablemans Lodge
Fabulous lodge and in such a great location. The pictures don't do the lodge justice, such a great bedroom layout for young families like us. Just don't overdo it on the log burner as the lodge can get rather hot very fast. We will be back ??
Swallow Byre
Unfortunately, this property is no longer with Wilderness Cottages.
The Granary
Fantastic stay at The Granary. Everything we needed was there. Yvonne and Colin are great hosts. Lots to do close by, or short drive away. One of our favourite holiday cottages we have stayed in. Really hope to go back next year.
The Studio
Unfortunately, this property is no longer with Wilderness Cottages.
Shore Cottage
We had a very good holiday at Shore Cottage. The cottage is well equipped, warm and comfortable, however, there is no heating in the conservatory which was a shame as we were unable to spend much time in there to enjoy the view of the sea. We found that there was very poor mobile signal at the cottage, which meant we were unable to make calls or use the internet. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and relaxing holiday and we hope to return again.
Oak Cottage
What a wonderful holiday. The wildlife was plentiful (and just outside the window), the location ideal for exploring and the cottage itself extremely comfortable. As regular visitors to Scotland, we always look to move on to new areas. For the first time, we're seriously considering coming back. Oak cottage is a gem - let's hope for our sake that not too many people discover it.
Upper Folds
Very comfortable, cozy and well maintained cottage surrounded by beautiful countryside. The need for a 4x4 vehicle was definitely true my mini would not have made it. Great walks from the door Hattie certainly enjoyed it.
Katie's Cottage
Unfortunately, this property is no longer with Wilderness Cottages.
Stoer Lodge
Absolutely beautiful lodge and breathtaking scenery. The cottage was very well equipped with all you could think of. Very clean and cosy. Completely relaxed from our break there and would highly recommend this place for a truly wonderful holiday.
Learag
Very well finished inside and a good base for touring the Black Isle, towards Glen Affric and north towards Dornoch. Kids liked visiting Fort George and Fairy Glen at Rosemarkie.
Plodda Falls Lodge

Wildwood
Just had a fabulous holiday at Wildwood for the October school break with our teenage twin daughters. It is in a really peaceful setting amongst the forest which was absolutely stunning with all the autumn colours. Its a great location being reasonable walking distance from Fort Augustus and Loch Ness but feels very tranquil. There are some lovely easy walks you can do right from the house (if you aren't 'proper' walkers but love being outdoors like us) lots of trails off into the woodlands or along the River Oich. Loads to see just a short drive away, would recommend Urqhart Castle and the Falls of Foyers. Fort Augustus itself is interesting with the canal and very pretty. The cafes and gift shops are fine but a little pricey. We loved the mill shop though, great value, and also just along the road at Invermoriston the Clog and Craft shop is well worth a visit. The house is really spacious, clean and comfortable and great value for the rates charged. Loved the upstairs sitting room with great views of the trees and loads of comfy seating, we had a couch each! Kitchen is a great size too and well equipped. Was also brilliant to have a separate room for all the outdoor wear and extra stuff! I could get used to the walk in wardrobe/ dressing room in the master bedroom too! It was a perfect base to explore this lovely area, and would be comfortable even with another two or three guests. Highly recommend.
Earth House
Stole our hearts all over again. Second stay this year. Even our dogs didn't want to leave.the house is so special, quiet, peaceful, clean and warm. The area jaw dropping beautiful. The owners are lovely should you need to ask them anything. All on one level which was perfect for mum 82. Owners put a chair in for mum mum that she found better for her. Thank you!
North Lodge
We stayed 6 night in North Lodge, in late October. The cottage was spotlessly clean, warm and very well equipped with everything you might need. Lovely, peaceful walks around the estate from the doorstep and lots of feathered visitors to the garden...including dunnocks, jays, a woodpecker and tree creepers. Our two dogs loved pottering around and paddling in the little stream in the garden - but be aware the garden isn't fully fenced if your pooch is liable to take off. Lots of great places to visit in the local area. The beach at Sands of Luce is beautiful and don't miss the Fish Pool at Port Logan. Booking and communication was easy and straightforward.

North Lodge
We really enjoyed our stay at North Lodge and will definitely return. The cottage set in a secluded spot was comfortable, cosy and peaceful. Step outside into the woodland and the wildlife was all around, by day we saw deer and an abundance of birds, by night the hooting of owls.
The Orchids
Unfortunately, this property is no longer with Wilderness Cottages.
Roseville
We had a fantastic stay at Roseville, it is exceptionally well appointed, warm and comfortable. The location was fantastic for a week of exploring the area. Thank you, we hope to come back soon!
Cedar Cottage
Lovely cottage in a wonderful location, extremely clean & got everything you could need. Great location for walking which you can do from the door or just 20 mins to lovely beaches. Highly recommended.
Cala
What a stylish and cosy base to explore the wild beauty of Assynt. Watching the ever-changing weather from the amazing picture window is addictive and the rest of the property is equally well designed to provide a perfectly relaxing holiday.
Wildwood
Wildwood is, in my opinion, absolutely beautiful. There is everything you need for a self catering lodge, you only need to take the food. It's surroundings are magical and we were even lucky enough to see a pine Martin and a red squirrel. Loved it.
Matheson's Croft House
Absolutely outstanding holiday. The house is perfect and cosy with such amazing views and so handy for days out to Distilleries, castles, beautiful beaches etc. Wi-Fi excellent and the music system is great . I can honestly say it's the most relaxing environment to clear the head and just chill out . Definitely be back

The Stables
We enjoyed staying in the Stables. It is well appointed and right in the centre of the lovely little village of Crail. The setting couldn't be better. The cottage is well looked after and had everything that we needed. At the time that we visited, it was warm and cosy, although we did wonder what it would be like in very cold weather due to it being such a large, tall space. We didn't light the log burner but I'm sure it would have been very cosy, had we done so. We found the heating/hot water controls a little difficult to understand but managed to do the things we needed with it.

The Coltsfoots
Spotless , well-equipped accommodation in a beautiful secluded setting . The hosts are so welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Absolutely loved the holiday
Seascape Cottage
This cottage is just an absolute gem. It's spotlessly clean, warm & cosy. But on top of all of that it's really well equipped & Sarah has thought of everything...the welcome pack being a real bonus too. The views as everyone says are stunning & having the beach so near & virtually to yourselves was a complete joy - no amount of photos will do it justice. Highly recommend Seascape Cottage - it will not disappoint. We look forward to going back.
The Studio

Cnoc Ard
A warm, welcoming, comfy home in a fabulous location. The house had everything we needed. My only slight reservation is the size of the living space for the number of beds. We were only two humans and two dogs and we filled the living space! Fine if you can be out during the day. Overall, we loved it and I hope to return.
Seahorses
An exceptional holiday cottage in an absolutely stunning location!!! Comfortable and cosy we loved the spacious open plan living area, the kitchen was probably the best equipped of any cottage we've ever stayed in, the views in every direction were stunning... Seahorses outperformed our already high expectations in every way. The incredible book selection covering everything from local wildlife to geology to stargazing and the huge array of excellent local walking guides was matchless. Could not recommend more - probably the most wonderful place we have ever stayed as a family, thank you so much to the owners for sharing your truly special house with us. Worth every penny and every second of the time spent driving the single track road in and out!!!
The Mill
Lovely cottage in a fantastic location. We really enjoyed our stay finding the cottage warm and comfortable. We did find the furnishings a bit sparse - a chest of drawers in the master bedroom would have been a helpful addition to save living out of a suitcase for a week. Some board games / books / information on the area (restaurant recommendations, walks nearby etc) would have been nice to have also. We were unlucky with the weather during our stay so did go out and buy our own puzzle midweek! Overall though these were tiny niggles, and we would definitely stay again if in the area.
Matheson's Croft House
We have been before in the Matheson and like the first time our stay was very nice. If you like remote, cosyness, yet all you need in reach, choose the matheson.
Upper Folds
We had a wonderful week at Upper Folds. The cottage is really warm and comfortable and in a very peaceful location with walks straight from the door in the surrounding hills. There is a large, enclosed garden which our dog absolutely loved. The drive to the cottage was fine, it includes a small ford and the road is mostly in decent condition, our 4x4 Mazda Bongo campervan was easily up to it, we visited in early October. It was a wonderful escape from the world, no phone signal, no live TV, an amazing chance to switch off and slow down. The house is off grid and powered by solar panels, a small wind turbine and heated by a gas Rayburn which is also the hob and oven, I really enjoyed the chance to cook on it! It was interesting to see how comfortable and warm they have made the house despite being off grid and great to watch the wind turbine spinning knowing it's providing your electricity! A really lovely week, I'd definitely recommend it!
Braehead Steading
What a wonderful cottage, ideally situated with plenty to do within a few miles. Braehead Steading was spotlessly clean and fully equipped for our week away, more like a home from home. We couldn't have wished for anything more, thank you.
Port Elgol Cottage
Wounderful cottage in absolutely stunning location, cozy and charming. We had a fantastic week on Skye. We slept well in the beds, bathroom and kitchen were excellent. Everything clean and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting next to the fire listening to wind and waves..... Thank you!
Seal Skerry Lodge
Great location overlooking an aptly named 'skerry' where seals regularly bask. Well thought out ground floor with plenty of floor to ceiling glass for great views of the loch, the Western Isles and the 1000ft hills opposite. Two good sized bedrooms with plenty of storage. Super bathroom and downstairs shower room, this lodge had all we needed for a comfortable and very enjoyable week's stay. Cleanliness was as we would have hoped. Our first holiday in 30 months due to 'covid19' we had a most relaxing stay. We are looking at planning another holiday next year that can incorporate a stay in this lodge.
Sixgeary
Sixgeary is definitely one of the best holiday cottages we have ever stayed in. It has everything that is needed to make the holiday really enjoyable and its location is amazing with stunning views, even by Skye standards! If you are looking for somewhere special to stay, Sixgeary is highly recommended.

Eilean Mor Cottage
We absolutely loved staying in this cottage. Nice and cosy for the two of us, quiet and peaceful. Views were spectacular and location was ideal for us. Very well equipped with all you could ask for and more. We would love to return in the future.
Pier Head

Beach Lodge
This is our fourth visit to Beach Lodge and the location never disappoints it is exceptional. The cottage is lovely but it is getting in need of a refurb. It is clean but the settees are getting very worn and tired and the decor could do with a lick of paint. We will still be booking again though it would be nice to sit on comfortable furniture at the end of the day.
