My experience of using Wilderness Cottages to book a Scottish cottage was simple and efficient. The cottage was as described and to a high standard. Would certainly use Wilderness Cottages again when looking for accommodation in Scotland.

2nd time we have stayed here. Location is brilliant just outside Lochcarron so easy walking distance to the shop and cafe/eateries. Property has everything we needed, very comfortable. Even saw a deer in the garden. Would recommend staying here. Only negative was the mattress which could do with changing, but no other fault at all.

Couldn't find the cottage at first as didn't look anything like the pictures on the website . Garden was massively overgrown and needs some attention. Roomy cottage but is very tired and needs updating . Fan in cooker squeals when in use. Shower rail held together with gaffer tape . Was comfortable but not too clean . Fantastic views and we did have a great week weather wise .

The Studio

This is a really lovely, well-designed house in a great location for exploring the whole island. There is complete peace and quiet, and sheep were grazing just outside. With comfortable beds, great views, lots of guide books/ maps for hiking trails, and games to play, it really is very well equipped (although contrary to other reviewers we didn't find salt/pepper/oil when we arrived, so I guess it depends what the previous guests leave behind!). My whole family enjoyed it (2 teens), and I would definitely come again.

The Studio is a stylish, modern very well equipped residence in an excellent location and we had a wonderful week on Skye staying at The Studio. If we had any critical comments they would be that the surroundings require a good tidy up and the gate needs some attention.

Oh. Wow. We arrived, feeling really stressed - after a tough few weeks. Within minutes of arriving all the stresses just started melting away. This is a truly peaceful place - and the wildlife is magical. Lovely walks from the Lodge. If you want to go out for evening meals or pop to a shop - it's not for you ???? - it is truly remote. We didn't do half the things we planned because we couldn't drag ourselves from simply gazing out across the loch. The Lodge itself is cosy and comfortable - and how we laughed - never have we longed for a garden parasol in a Scottish cottage in September ????????????. The weather was epic.

The house is in a very peaceful spot and there is a great view of the sea and the islands. While the surrounding landscape invites to explore, the house offers a cosy retreat to relax and unwind. The rooms are all spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. Every window offers a different beautiful view. There is everything you need for a longer stay and the fireplace makes for cosy evenings. The books and maps provided were welcome reads and helped us decide which hiking routes to tackle. All in all, we found it very hard to leave this beautiful place and we will definitely be back. There is still so much to discover.

Absolutely beautiful, spacious and spotlessly clean lodge. We found the amenities to be excellent, super comfy bed, welcoming friendly host (thanks Jenny), with a delicious cake left for us and through the week eggs and extra veggies left by Jenny. Stunning location with superb walks in every direction and extra dog friendly gardens for our dogs. As mentioned in the listing the track is passable with slow care but dont let this stop you from booking as you willl miss the peaceful retreat otherwise. This is the perfect place to switch off especially as wifi is very limited to email checking only. This was the perfect weeks break away for us 10/10, thank you Jenny

Plodda Falls Lodge is a truly special place. Very isolated and quiet but loads of walking from door. Old house with loads of interesting history with the estate its located. Jenny the owner lives a mile down the road if needed, the cake she baked for us, hens eggs, potatoes and beans were an unexpected but very welcome bonus. Glenn Affric is a beautiful area with very unique scenery. Staying it Plodda lodge is such a quiet and relaxing experience, but close enough to villages if needed a short drive away.

What a great base Seabank cottage made to explore the surrounding area ie Skye Applecross etc. Set in a lovely village with all the amenities you could need. Even some finer dinning at Rock villa. We spent time using the binoculars provided either looking out from the kitchen or the patio area just to the left of the cottage. All in all a great holiday.

Been wanting to stay in the Nethy Bridge area for quite some time, and we finally succeeded. The location is breathtaking, we spotted lots of birds of prey and deer in the garden. Those mountainviews are stunning!! We were lucky to have summer weather, so every night we enjoyed the setting sun from the backdoor. If only there were a large window above the dresser in the dining room, with a frame around it, you'd have a unique painting every time you looked. We appreciated the size of the comfy double bed and the lamps scattered around the house, which made it very cosy. We didn't put on the hot water, we took a shower or used the kettle to get warm water. With the warm weather we had, we could have appreciated an outside table for al fresco dining. The large information map is also a bonus, the owners have done a lot of effort to write down the history of the place. Would recommend this little gem to all who, just like us, like to be remote and in a quiet, rural setting. Thank you for taking care of and letting us enjoy your unique home from home.

Log House

The Log House was pleasant enough in a quiet location. The Log House does have a problem with rodents, probably mice. Shouldn't be a complete surprise due to the location. I would fix the ventilation in the bathroom as the mould was increasing throughout the 2 weeks. Dogs are fine, however if you allow dogs, you'll need removable covers to remove the smell of dogs, not everyone is a super fan of wet dog smell. So good, however needs Improvement.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and feedback on Log House. As Wilderness Cottages are the booking agents we have contacted the owner to discuss your feedback. The owner has discussed your issues with the housekeeper and this has now been dealt with. As per our terms and conditions we ask guests to not allow dogs on the furnishing however I'm sure you agree this is difficult to manage.

We have had the most wonderful holiday at Coltsfoot Cottage. We have stayed there 4 times now and intend to keep on going back there. The setting is perfect, so quiet and peaceful. The host Gordon is very welcoming and lovely to talk too. We saw red squirrels around the log cabin, a fox and heard owls at night. Plenty of bike rides and walks in the hills around Fort Augustus. The cabin has everything you could need and is very comfortable. We love sitting on the veranda in the evenings relaxing and watching wild life. Perfect holiday.

We had a lovely holiday at Brae Steading. The house was clean and it had everything in it that we needed for our stay. The size of rooms downstairs and bedrooms meant we had plenty of space for our group of 7. There was a lovely big dining room and a lovely dining room table for us to sit together for our evening meal. There was plenty of plates etc in the cupboards and we liked the idea of the 2 fridges and used them both. We liked the huge space we had in the garden and enjoyed sitting outside the patio doors. It was good being so near the trails. Our group enjoyed their holiday and plan to return.

Location, location, location, I couldn't fault it. The views were so good that I spent many an hour just looking out of the many windows that had a view. Clearly the house was designed taking the views into consideration. The interior has been done in a very high specification including surround sound system and a Tv that allows you to stream your own programmes should you find the time. The master bedroom has a large bed. I am 6'5'' and felt comfortable. Again views were incredible. 2 good size bedrooms and 1 2 bunk beds. Ideal for 3 generations. With the 3 Chimneys restaurant at the bottom of the driveway we spoilt ourselves. Choose a sunny day to go to Neist Point, go early and take your time. Stop and study the surroundings. We saw Dolphins, seals, gannets etc. Coral beach is stunning. Go beyond the beach to find a magnificent headland, the water was crystal clear. Skye Wildelife tours were superb. We saw Otters, Seals, Deer, Golden Eagles and Sea Eagles. Such good value. Sea fishing off Meanish Community Pier allowed us free meals of Mackerel and Pollack. We will definitely be going again

Earth House exceeded our expectations. The two key elements of accommodation and location were perfect for us. The house is an architectural underground marvel, tucked away in the hillside right on the edge of the sea. Surprisingly light, very comfortable and extremely well equipped. The location is perfect for wildlife watching. Eagles, otters and dolphins regularly seen from the comfort of the lounge. We spent ages just exploring on our own "private" beach. An unusual, quirky gem of a property. Highly recommended.

Absolutely fabulous 5star cottage of superior quality throughout. Everything and more that you could need. A real home from home, warm and welcoming with outstanding views across the sea to the Isle of Skye. The Stags visiting the garden in the morning and evenings night were an unexpected bonus. A wonderful stay, we cannot wait to return. Oh and thank you for the complimentary wine! On arrival, if you travel slowly, around 25 yards past the cottage, be careful not to miss the narrow gravel track on the right that takes you down to the front of the cottage. This saves you having to carry your luggage down a steep narrow footway.

The Burnside Cottage at Callakille is ideal for people looking for peace and remoteness: There are only a few houses within three or more miles! It is cozy and lovingly furnished and well equipped. The cottage is an ideal base to explore the Applecross Peninsula. Applecross offers some well developed hiking trails, which are also not too difficult to master. If you want to eat out you find two or three places at Applecross village and nearby; In high season, be sure to make a reservation and find out if the restaurant is open. We spent a great week in Callakille, after crossing the Applecross Pass (don't miss the drive from the south, it's breathtaking! And watch out for the cyclists, they must be suffering quite a bit!), thanks to the owners.

Cluny Croft is in an excellent location with lovely views. Plenty of walking at all levels in the area. The accommodation is quite spacious and generally comfortable, although very tired. The kitchen is particularly well-equipped and even and a range of supplies (salt and pepper, oil etc) . There is a good supermarket, other shops and a petrol station in Newtonmore. Although it has wifi, it was very unstable and we were unable to stream anything. It is not at all suitable if you need to do anything beyond check some mails or web pages (and even then it can be very slow). Remember to bring toiletries and toilet roll.
