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to update the instruction information in the folder as both this year and last the information about the television was outdated and the bin bag referred to for used towels and bed linen was not present on either occasion either.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.

White-Tail Croft

This was such an excellent Croft. Very good location, stunning view and peaceful. The Croft has amazing facilities and everything you would need. The sauna was such a lovely bonus also. Would love to return !

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.

Shore Cottage

The cottage was fantastic and the booking arrangements through Wilderness Cottages was seamless. Will definitely book again.

Learag

We have had a great holiday. So much to see and do. We have stayed in many cottages in the UK and abroad and Learag is up there with the best. We lacked for nothing and felt totally at home. Thank you

Score Bay Cottage

Poulary Cottage

Just what we wanted. A perfect get away from it all cottage with the huge bonus of wonderful wildlife. We had an amazing week and really did not want to leave.

Beech Lodge

Shore Cottage

We had an amazing week at Shore Cottage. The cottage is a delight with just a few minutes walk to a beautiful, very quiet beach. 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. As someone more used to staying in the Highlands it was a lovely change to not be bothered by midges. A memorable week in a very special place. Thank you, we have loved all our Wilderness Cottage stays but this one was our favourite.

Shore Cottage

Shore Cottage is the most amazing place, peaceful, beautiful cosy. We love spending time on the beach with our dog. We both have very busy lives and enjoy getting away from phones, and the Internet to completely unwind and relax. What a wonderful find. We have stayed here twice and can't wait to return.

Plodda Falls Lodge

We had a great second visit to this wonderful place. Lots of walks, to old haunts, as well as new ones. Still so much more to explore when we return next year. We want to add our thanks to those already expressed by so many visitors, to Jenny - she provides a friendly presence with lots of advice on how to get the very best experience of the Lodge and its glorious surroundings.

Woodpecker Pad

North Lodge

Excellent location, easy to reach nearby walks and beaches. Quiet and relaxing and all required amenities supplied. Cozy and comfortable cottage.

Tor Fionn

Charleston

Stunning location, could never tire of the view. House lovely and clean with everything you needed for a great holiday, large enclosed garden which the dogs loved. Basket of fruit a nice touch Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us.

Log House

Our 6th visit, and once again we were never disappointed, even the weather was great this year, not that that ever dampens the spirit, the log house as usual was well presented and has everything you will need, it's a great base for exploring the west and north, visits to Glen Affric, Walks through the forest never disappoints, this year we finally got a glimpse of the Pine Martin which visited the bird table at the cabin, if you like wild life the table will not disappoint as a good stock will bring all the birds, red squirrels and finally the martins the free entertainment is priceless, we will are already booked to return.

Cedar Cottage

We had a lovely week in Cedar cottage. Even though it seems you are in the middle of nowhere it only takes a few minutes to get to Forres, where you can shop. The parks in Forres are beautiful. The cottage is great. Much bigger than it looks and a great garden for dogs. Sit at the patio and see the birds feeding up close and red squirrels too. Loads of walks on your doorstep.

Log House

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.

Marnie's Croft

Stable Cottage

Stable cottage is tucked away behind Lochnaw castle in woodland abundant with wildlife. The walks and beaches are unspoilt and stunning. The local attractions like Portpatrick and Logan botanical gardens are well worth visiting. The locals are incredibly friendly and there is a whole variety of restaurants and eateries to tickle your tastebuds. The cottage was comfortable and reasonably well equipped. Its location is simply perfect for a wilderness holiday.

Seabank Cottage

A smashing wee cottage, ideally located for visiting both Wester Ross & Isle of Skye. Lochcarron is a pleasant village with adequate number of shops and restaurants. A couple of tweaks to the cottage would be to install 'blackout' curtains in the upstairs bedroom and along with an updated TV & TV package would enhance the stay.

The Coltsfoots

Absolutely love the Coltsfoot. A wonderful location within walking distance to the centre of Fort Augustus. The log cabin is well set out with everything you need to make the stay comfortable. Scrupulously clean and nothing is too much trouble for the owners. Would recommend the Coltsfoots.

Port Elgol Cottage

We spent a lovely week in Port Elgol Cottage. The cottage is well equipped, very clean and comfortable. In a perfect quiet location it was so relaxing listening to the waves and watching the comings and goings on the water. We can highly recommend this property.

South Lodge

A lovely get away from it all cottage. Nice shower and well equipped kitchen. Really cosy, peaceful and beautiful scenic views. It's away from everything so self catering is a must unless you are willing to travel. Some nice walks and not too far from the beach. We loved it. Some lovely wildlife around. Great for the dog.

Port Elgol Cottage

We spent a really lovely week in Port Elgol Cottage. The cottage is well equipped and is very clean and comfortable. In a perfect quiet location. It was so relaxing.

Seal Skerry Lodge

We had an amazing stay at Seal Skerry Lodge in Skye. The booking process with Wilderness Cottages was easy and staff were super helpful. The accommodation and location were exactly as described on the website. We will definitely be booking again and are looking forward to next year's brochure arriving!

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!,

Fhaireag

The Coltsfoots

This summer house, shipped in from Sweden on an Articulated lorry, is truly the "best of"! Located in a quiet clearing, completely private and yet 15mins walk from the pubs and restaurants of Fort Augusta. The charming owners live close by and have thought of everything! The kitchen is better equipped than ours - no kidding! The whole place is cleaned to Swiss levels of scrupulous cleanliness, it feels like you are the first people ever to stay there, no wonder they get repeat visitors.

Don Cottage

Braehead Steading

A fantastic holiday house, set up really well for 2 families sharing, well equipped kitchen, plenty outdoor space/seating, will definately be visiting again.

Pityoulish Cottage

Lovely cottage, fully modernised but retains character. The views from the kitchen and dining area, out over the River Spey, are wonderful. Perfect location, secluded but within easy reach of Aviemore. We are very keen to return.

Pier Head

Blessed by beautiful weather, it was so nice being back in Shieldaig. Swimming from the front door, climbing in the Torridon mountains, and cycling up and over the Bealach pass, It was just like doing our very own Celtman (but without the 3am start).!! Pie Head is such a comfortable and well kept house that it is a real pleasure to spend time relaxing with the family (as opposed to competing) there. This being our third visit I'm pretty sure we'll be coming back.

Ardbeg

Best holiday cottage we've ever rented in 26yrs. Fabulous uninterrupted loch views and generous living space . Well appointed furniture and fittings . Not for the fragile though as it's a hugely steep climb up to the house from the village . Certainly good for fitness levels !

Littlepark Cottage

Taigh Druim

Katie's Cottage

Katie's Cottage is has benefited from a high-end and thoughtful architectural restoration. The flooring, stairs and eco heating are particularly thoughtful. well located for a remote holiday, what a fabulous area of Skye, new to us, but fabuous for wildflife

Aros Beag

Don Cottage

Beech Lodge

Beach Lodge

This is our second visit to Beach Lodge, a little piece of paradise. The house is spacious but cozy. Three living areas and just enough tech to keep in touch with the rest of the world if you have to; Freesat TV, and basic broadband with wi-fi over much of the house. Six plus a dog had really relaxing stay, amazing walks down the beach towards Killantringan or the opposite direction up to where it's gets pretty rocky and the sand runs out. Back to the house for meals, sitting out the back cooking up a barbeque or in the sun room watching the kestrels above the hillside and the cows come down to the front meadow for a bit of evening grazing. Being tucked down a rough track keeps most day trippers at bay. Been up and down here in a fully loaded car with no issue so don't let the road put you off. Portpatrick is just 15 minutes away with some good pubs and restaurants. Stranraer about 25 minutes away with a good choice of shops and supermarkets. We just stocked up for the week and enjoyed the seclusion. Barely saw another person all week. The directions are a bit misleading, the postcode is DG9 0RR; a what3words location is ///stands.enclosing.wonderfully.

Beech Lodge

Seascape Cottage

This is simply one of the best cottages imaginable...beautifully clean and well equipped, with the most stunning views across the Irish Sea, and literally a couple of minutes' walk to quiet beaches and rock pools. The host is friendly and helpful and helped make our stay really special. Totally intend to pay further visits to this beautiful and relaxing cottage.

The Challey at Heathcote

Seabank Cottage

Smashing wee cottage, ideally located for visiting west coast & Skye. A couple of tweaks would further improve, namely, update TV / Program provider & blackout curtains in bedroom. Other than that an enjoyable stay.

Fhaireag

Seal Skerry Lodge

Cottage was all that we hoped for. Very clean and well equipped. Telescope was a well used bonus. Perfect balance of getting away with a good selection of local amenities close at hand (cafe, village shop and the Chidakasha veg restaurant all within a few miles). The views over Loch Pooltiel from the house make the visit - on our stay we daily watched seals bathe on the skerry, one day a pod of dolphins visited the loch and otters were also spotted. The walk around the headland to the lighthouse is a good hike and there are variety of other walks in the area. Bird life also exceptional. Hoping to return soon.

Kincardine Cottage

We had a wonderful stay at Kincardine Cottage, it really does feel in the middle of nowhere with lots of wildlife to see, the deer even came into the garden so we didn't have to look very hard! There are a number of towns including Aviemore not too far away so you have all of the things you need and a lovely loch 1 mile away for gentle swimming.

Taffs Barn

Highly recommend Taff's Barn. Excellent location, beautiful views from the patio and balcony - really enjoyed seeing the Red Kites everyday, and very well equipped. Pat was very helpful and the scones, jam, and clotted cream on arrival were lovely. Two of our party have already booked to stay again!
