We had a lovely holiday. The house, and the design of it was excellent, and the area around absolutely beautiful. Our daughter loved Nova (the little dog from next door) and her German Shepherd friend when they came to visit.

This cottage is in a wonderful position over looking the glen. It is spotlessly clean, with everything you could possibly need, it is home from home. Comfortable beds and lovely bedding. I would not hesitate in recommending Kate's Cottage. Thank you for a lovely week.

Seascape Cottage

We ony managed to book Seascape Cottage due to a cancellation, how lucky we were. We had a wonderful week at the begining of July, fabulous weather and fabulous accomodation. The cottage has all that you need for your stay, as well as being right next to the beach, try falling out of bed and straight onto the beach for your monrining walk, you will not be dissapointed. Lots of wildlife to be seen, birds, seals deer to name but a few. A lovely place to relax and unwind, or as we did visit all the local gardens. A beautiful place in a beautiful area. Thank you Sarah and Jag for letting us share your little bit of heaven.

Beach Lodge

The location of the beach lodge is fabulous we needed a remote base due to our youngest of 5 being an autistic child. It was special to be able to walk about 100yds to the beach and have the ability to allow the children and the dogs to run free and explore the beach and rock pools whilst the lodge also allowed for a relaxing time due to its walled garden giving us a safe play space. Remember to take garden and beach toys with you if you are going there with children. The patio was secluded and shielded from the wind downside of this is there is no view at the rear of the property just the view of the bank covered in bracken. We were warned about not walking near the bracken due to ticks present. A few other points to be aware of on the beach at the time we were there a large number of lions mane jellyfish were washed up and a member of the public close by us got a nasty sting, The beach was rarely deserted we saw many other beach goers, fishermen fishing from the beach, a local guy turned up with a van and let 20 dogs out for a run and also one night saw wild campers in two large tents who left their rubbish behind when they left the next day. Most evenings the heard of cows come down to the field between the house and the beach to roam and on the last night were very aggressive towards my Husband as he was walking the dogs back from the beach about 40 of them came stampeding over and I had to go to pick him and the dogs up in the car to be able to get them back to the house safely. It may be because they have calves with the herd but please be aware of this if you have dogs it felt very frightening. As mentioned in most reviews the drive is very rough and much worse than we expected. It made us only want to make essential journeys so we didn't explore the area. The email confirmation recommends the use of a 4x4 and we would certainly endorse this as essential. I loved finding out about the history of the beach lodge the fact that it is listed by Historic Scotland as a building of historic interest and was built in 1789 the twin bedroom at the rear was originally the servants quarters. Lots of the character features remain curved walls, flagstone floors some original fireplaces windows with shutters etc. Overall we had a great time and would like to return especially if the worst part of the drive was to be improved.

Excellent stay at Seascape. The cottage was very clean, plenty big enough for four and the location was stunning with sea views and a little beach. Hosts were on hand if needed but we were able to stay private too. Great stay and would definitely recommend.

North Lodge

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at North Lodge, a very well appointed dwelling in peaceful surroundings. The beds furnishings were very comfortable. We spent much of our time in the immediate vicinity of North Lodge walking around the Lochnaw Castle estate. We derived great pleasure from viewing the variety of birds on the feeders from the kitchen window, woodpeckers, wheatears (identified only after an internet search) finches, jays and many others. The red squirrels hogging the peanuts were a joy. Further afield we enjoyed the beauty of the surrounding area, the Mull of Galloway is a must. We visited Larbrax beach (we were the only people there) and Wig Bay & Lady Bay. We would definitely visit again.

This is a lovely house - very spacious, clean, tidy and well-equipped and with a very satisfactory number of bathrooms. The big garden was a bonus, as was the nearby Deeside Way: an easy route into Ballater, and used by all of us for walking, running and cycling.

Great, well equipped, immaculate cottage. 2 minutes walk to the shore. Very quiet and peaceful. 20 minutes drive to Stranraer for shopping. If you get the weather a wee patio to sit on and amzing sunsets. The owners live next door and were really kind and welcoming. They provided a lovely welcome basket of goodies and pointed us in the direction of good walks. Would recommend.

Beach Lodge

We visited Beach Lodge with 3 generations of our family and dogs. The house and it's position is truly special. We had a wonderful week never leaving the house and the beach. The house is so comfy and everything is there to accommodate 8 people perfectly. The enclosed garden was safe for children and dogs to run and play freely and only a two minute walk to the beach. The road is a minor consideration because when you get past it the reward is one of the most memorable holidays. So much so our grandchildren cried when we left and we will be returning.

Absolutely fantastic! The cottage itself was lovely - clean, comfortable & better equipped than we expected. The location however is the biggest draw. Coming out of the front door of the cottage & to be walking on a beautiful beach 2 minutes later was just bliss! A gem of a cottage and one we will definitely be visiting again.

Port Elgol Cottage

This is a cute little fisherman's cottage - full of character, very well equipped, clean. Great instructions in the cottage too on how to use things, etc. It is a little far from Portree, but we didn't mind as the location of the cottage is fantastic. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets during our stay. Also, you need a car anyway in Skye to move around. For us, our stay at the cottage was serendipitous. About 19 years ago, during a trip to Glasgow we bought a painting of a cottage from a local artist. We were instantly drawn to it. When we saw the cottage on Wildnerness Cottages website, again we were instantly drawn to it and so booked it. It's only when we returned home that we realised that it's the same cottage in the painting hanging on our wall! If there is one thing that perhaps needs looking at is an addition of a proper electric dryier machine for clothes. On wet days, the air drying wasn't ideal. This notwithstanding, highly recommend.

Pooltiel House

The house is very nice; well-equippped and spacious with nice soft furnishings. Take everything you need as it is in a remote but stunning location. Great views of the ever-changing weather and scenery. The village has no amenities but nearby Glendale (40 minute walk) has a cafe and good shop. Otherwise, it's a 25-minute drive to Dunvegan along the single track road, which you get used to after a couple of drives. Everywhere on Skye is quite a trek from here apart from Neist Point. If you want peace and quiet in very comfortable surroundings, then this is the place for you. Sleeps 4 very easily in the 3 double bedrooms.

The Stables

This was our second visit to The Stables, and we were not disappointed. The house suits us perfectly as a couple, while having enough seats, crockery and cutlery for the occasional visit by family who were staying nearby. It's location is perfect, within very easy walking distance of both the harbour and the shops. The only thing that would improve it would be a view from the windows, but we understand that the historic building does not lend itself to that, and a short walk gives lovely coastal views. Crail is perfect for the type of holiday we like, with good walking routes and a good bus service to the other East Neuk villages and St Andrews. If I may make a suggestion it is to update the instruction information in the folder as both this year and last the information about the television was outdated and the bin bag referred to for used towels and bed linen was not present on either occasion either. These are minor points, though and should not detract from this review. We would recommend The Stables to any couple looking to stay for a week in Crail.

Stoer Lodge

Lovely spacious and well-equipped property with a safe enclosed garden sitting immediately above a sandy bay which you will have to yourselves most of the time. Don't underestimate distances! Roads are narrow, winding and slow. Kylesku is an hour; only Lochinver with its heavenly pies is close by. If you like it remote you'll love it. Only negative to mention is the single bathroom and toilet which might be a significant challenge if a full party of 8 across two families.

Our dog Bella was in heaven and when it was time to go, she wouldn't get in the car!!! Very comfy beds and the conservatory with the outdoor seating was great for evenings outside.

Another lovely week spent in the Log House, just love this place so much, well equipped and in such a perfect spot. The runs/walks up into the surrounding forest are just beautiful and the 5km loop right outside the front door is perfect for an early morning run to start the day. Great heating (not that we needed it this visit), fab log burner for the colder months and a really good shower (very important I think!) The only issue we had was the bats, every other stay they have been no problem, but this time they seem to have moved up to the head of the bed end of the bedroom and were so noisy that they kept me awake or woke me up most nights, not sure if its possible to relocate them.

Log Ness

What can I say that hasn't already been said before. This cabin is absolutely amazing with everything you could possibly want during your stay. There were even doggy poop bags and dog bowls. Seating areas all around the cabin made use of all the space needed for outdoor dining, evening drinks and an area with a dart board to keep the kids amused. We didn't really need a TV as the views over Loch Ness were to die for and we didn't want to waste a second of our time there. The younger members of our party enjoyed the kayaking in the loch and had brought their own kayak and also their bicycles which they enjoyed riding on the many trails in the area. Not too far from Fort Augustus or Aviemore where we visited Loch Morlich with its beach area and beach cafe. I could go on and on but I will end here with an assurance that we thoroughly enjoyed our week here and none of us wanted to leave (even our 2 retrievers Bailey and Willow). The cabin is absolutely wonderful and I cannot praise the housekeeper enough as the cabin was spotless. Our thanks to the owners for letting us rent their beautiful cabin!,
