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.

North Lodge

The cottage is very nice, cosy and has everything you could need for your stay. It is in a lovely private setting and it's great to be able to walk to the Loch and around the grounds of the castle. When going to the private beach it may feel like you've gone wrong but keep going through the gate and follow it round, you have to pass through a farm. The track to the beach is very bumpy, if your car has good ground clearance though you should be fine. Had a lovely stay and saw red squirrels which is a first for us so really pleased.

The Barn, Corrimony

The Barn is spacious, comfortable, well equipped and clean. The Wifi is a little weak but who needs this when in the Highlands. There is lots to do and we made the most of every day. Lots of walks on the doorstep. I can recommend a walk to Corrimony Falls. It was our favourite waterfall although Plodda falls was impressive too. There is a friendly Spar in Cannich and I can recommend The Bog Cotton cafe also in Cannich. We had an amazing week and we loved every minute, the only trouble is that it went too quick.

Pityoulish Cottage

Newly renovated clean cottage in lovely location with fabulous views over the River Spey. Note there is no freezer and only access to a washing machine by contacting owners. Hopefully this could be rectified. We would definitely consider returning .

Score Bay Cottage

Log House

This is the 2nd time we have visited the Log House based in Fort Augustus. It's in the centre of the Highlands and the perfect base to explore the west and east coast. The Log House is set in Beautiful Woodland with lots of great walks from your door and a 5 minute drive into Fort Augustus. The Bathroom is new, and the Cabin is very well equipped and full of Character. If you want peace, quiet and relaxation with fresh air in beautiful surroundings you will find it here. As usual Wilderness Cottages make everything easy to book and the Website is the easiest and most informative in the Holiday industry with great staff to help in the office.

Seascape Cottage

This gorgeous cottage situated right by the rugged coastline of Scotland was the perfect quiet retreat. There is peace and quiet, incredible night skies and wildlife all around. The cottage is beautifully decorated to a high standard with everything you need for a comfortable holiday. The welcome hamper was very generous too! The owner is really lovely and couldn't have been more helpful and friendly but also respecting our privacy. We would definitely stay here again. A great 'find'!

Fhaireag

Roseville

Having Roseville as our base for exploring the Assynt area was perfect. The house has been designed with careful thought about what visitors want for a comfortable stay. Above and beyond facilities like multiple en-suite rooms, SkyQ and the Nespresso machine were greatly appreciated. The village shop had all the provisions we needed and the hotel, although only serving their guests at the time of our visit due to COVID, seemed to have a nice bar and restaurant. Roseville offered us comfort, high standards, a super location and a real home from home. Can't recommend highly enough.

Glenara

Seal Skerry Lodge

Wonderful house in an amazing setting. We really enjoyed our stay here. A couple of things if you're thinkig of booking, the garden is fully enclosed except for the gate - if you have a small dog they can get under it, like ours did....... and the water pressure isn't great which can't be helped but the rainfall shower was more like a drizzle - to rinse your hair use the hand held hose. Local cafe and walks excellent. We spoke to one one of the fishermen at the pier and got fresh lobser and langoustine for dinner one night.

Katie's Cottage

Second stay here and just as lovely and relaxing. Well worth the journey from South Coast. Comfy bed and lovely facilities. Maybe a few more essential items on arrival (covid??) Totally recommend Katie's Cottage.

Ardbeg

Ardbeg is a lovely well equipped house overlooking Gairloch - perfect for a relaxing family break

Hill Cottage

Hill Cottage is located in a stunning location on the very edge of the North Western Highlands overlooking the open sea loch of Laxford, with absolutely stunning views of the loch's islands and the Foinaven and Arkle mountains behind. The cottage has everything you need with the highlight being the rear conservatory which provides shelter from the elements and protection from midges in the summer while still offering the wonderful vistas below. Within very easy reach is Handa island, which offers a veritable feast of bird wildlife, from skuas to fulmars to puffins. Be aware though that the puffins leave by the end of July! The setting is perfect for those who wish to find solitude and really immerse themselves into the Scottish landscape. Dotted about the area are dozens of tiny lochs and rolling, windy roads. Down the hill, next to the old school, lies a great place to launch a small boat or kayak. Seals are dotted around the islands and are well worth the trip out if you can. With so many things to be positive about it's hard to mention the negatives, but we feel we must be honest to future guests. Firstly, we found the bed very uncomfortable and in need of replacing; and secondly, there is ongoing house construction just down the road from the cottage which is well underway. It was of course noisy at times and disturbing to us, considering we went there to get away from it all and were there for 2 weeks. Now this is not a fault of the cottage owner but rather Wilderness Cottages themselves who we felt might have been more transparent about it on their website or at the time of booking. I do hope that these changes can be made. Having said all that we felt the positives far outweighed the negatives and would recommend Hill Cottage to future guests.

Wilderness Cottages Replied...

Dear Mrs Gratton, Thank you for your review and feedback. To confirm Wilderness Cottages was not aware that a house was being built in the vicinity, however we have discussed this with the owner. Although at this stage there will be some building noise which we have no control over, having reviewed the position of the new property on a map, we do feel that the house is far enough away not to detract from the beautiful and scenic position that Hill Cottage is located in.

Learag

We have had a brilliant week at Learag. It's just gone in far too fast. we have been coming up to the Highlands every year for the past 10 years. The house ranks amongst the best. A stunning property in a beautiful setting with every comfort you could ask for. We cannot wait to return.

Sixgeary

We very much enjoyed our stay at Sixgeary. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped. The furnishings and design are very contemporary.The surrounding area is exceptionally beautiful and the views from the cottage are wonderful. All in all, a very special holiday.

Jura

We loved our stay at Jura. The Applecross peninsula is an exceptional place. The scenery is absolutely stunning and Jura cottage is very well located to enjoy everything the area has to offer. The view from the cottage is wonderful and it was a real pleasure to sit in the sunroom and take it all in. The beds were very comfortable and the cottage was well equipped.

The Granary

Great cottage,excellent location,second time staying there. Colin and Yvonne are the best hosts,their local knowledge and friendly attitude is second to none.If you want mountain biking, kayaking, paddle boarding or hiking, definitely worth the stay. We will visit again without a doubt.

Port Elgol Cottage

If you like remote beautiful locations then Port Elgol cottage is for you. This is our third visit and it's like coming back to an old friend. Perfect location and great views of the Cuillins and seascape

Udrigle House

Returned for the third year running to this exceptional historic house in stunning situation by a quiet bay. Best views ever from any holiday house we've stayed in. First-class service from Wilderness Cottages and from the lovely owners who live nearby the property. Thank you!

Roseville

We really enjoyed our stay at this fab property. Cosy and furnished to a high standard with great equipment/facilities. The property has good access to nearby Scourie beach, local walks to the Scourie Headland and Tarbet; and further a field to nearby mountains.

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.

Charleston

Fantastic cottage with amazing views. Highly recommended.

Katie's Cottage

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.

Littlepark Cottage

Pityoulish Cottage

Beautiful cottage. Immaculate inside & out. We particularly loved the views from the garden & sitooterie to the river Spey & were lucky enough to see an osprey fly by. Good swimming & paddling in Loch Pityoulish & excellent mountain biking in the beautiful forests.

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.

Seascape Cottage

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.

Stable Cottage

Fabulous week spent at Stable cottage the surrounding estate is beautiful and so peaceful. A great base to explore the wonderful coast and countryside. The cottage would benefit from some redecoration but is very comfortable with everything one needs for a break away.
