Eilean Mor Cottage

This cottage has a very special ambiance and the most wonderful views of the Duirnish and Waternish peninsulas of Skye, and across the Minch to the Outer Hebrides coast. All this, as well as a pretty garden with bunnies and lambs at the gate, can be enjoyed from the well-appointed conservatory. All rooms are nicely decorated and attractive, and it's great to have a discreet place outside to dry clothes. A short drive west takes you to the brilliant Glendale General Store, the most westerly such store roadlinked to mainland Britain. Further on from the store is the best place on Skye for watching cetaceans. Don't forget to visit Ravenpress Gallery, Eilean Mors nearest neighbour, for beautiful and skilful woodblock prints, many of the local area. Wilderness were very helpful all the way through. Very good experience.

Braehead Steading

Lovely house in a cracking setting.. Very clean and tidy Perfect distance to nearest town Ballater. Nice dog friendly garden. This was our 3rd visit, we love it.

Swallow Byre

A very comfortable, warm cottage with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. So nice to look out to the fields with just cattle and sheep for company. Ideally positioned for exploring the Stoer peninsular and for fishing the numerous lochs and lochans nearby.

The Mill at Glenlivet

Reyflat Barn

Lovely quiet cottage 5 minutes drive from the beach. Pat was such a warm and friendly host who provided a welcome pack including her fabulous home made scones. Spotlessly clean. And no pets was a bonus.

Port Elgol Cottage

An ideally situated location giving a sense of freedom and relaxation. To sit in the garden and watch whatever nature brings into view was bliss. Still hold on to sweet memories of Port Elgol Cottage.

Whitestone

Old Stables

Firstly I would say the pictures don't do the property justice .. it's huge! We were two adults and an Irish Setter but this place would be fabulous for a family .. Owners are very helpful and were happy to provide advice .. Great location and definitely worth considering for your staycation!

Callakille

Fabulous cottage with incredible views especially from the bathroom where we had our aperitif watching the sea and Rona. The stylish, tasteful fittings and modern kitchen & bathroom enhanced the pleasure of relaxing here plus undertaking many scenic walks. I slept better here than anywhere else!

Ceol na Mara

Lovely comfortable cottage on banks of Loch Kishorn. Well maintained and everything you need there. Very restful holiday. No wifi and not much mobile signal. No food shops in Kishorn so make sure you stock up. Lots of single track roads and pass road from Applecross is a challenge.

The Coltsfoots

Love this log cabin it's our favourite holiday destination! Spotless and top quality fixtures and fittings. Location is wonderful with a resident red squirrel. A lovely walk into Fort Augustus with a cafe, fish and chips and a selection of pubs. Highly recommended.

Sixgeary

We had a wonderful holiday in Sixgeary Cottage. The place was extremely clean on arrival and we found everything that we needed. Nice welcoming touches like shortbread, confectionary and wine were very much appreciated. The cottage itself oozes style, quality and comfort. We especially enjoyed the top-of-the-range kitchen devices, luxury bed linen and well-stocked bookshelf. Susan, the owner, was very helpful and friendly when we needed anything. All in all, a fantastic place to stay. Thank you!

The Stables

Have looked at the Stables a couple of times, but this year it was the only place left given the staycation explosion. Fantastic location in the heart of the village, within a fifty yard radius or the Crail Fish Bar, Greens (grocers) Keith's butchers and the bakery, all of which are excellent! The Co-op, the pub, a tea room and the Crail pottery also fall within this radius. Parking is down the street, a hundred yard walk. The accommodation was fine, and quite well appointed; the only word of caution is the dining table c/w heavy benches won't suit anyone with mobility problems, and we had to store our bikes in the hall. The lack of a view could be a drawback if the weather is too dreich to venture out in, but thats being really picky. It's described as sleeping two + one, but if the one is very wee the mezzanine looks very precarious. Overall pretty good value for what is a beautiful location.

Dear Mr Taylor, thank you your for your feedback and review, to confrim the mezzanine area above the sitting room is not available for the use of guests, as per the website a fold bed is available should a child be staying.

The Challey at Heathcote

The Stables

The Stables was a perfect base for a week in this lovely area of Scotland. The cottage had everything we needed and was very warm and cosy. We really liked the upstairs dining and living room area. The Stables is really well-located, right in the centre of Crail, just a few minutes walk from the harbour and coastal path, the pottery, excellent fish&chip shop, and other shops too. We would recommend it and would definitely return if we were in the area.

Balachladdich

Very comfortable, well-equipped cottage. Stayed for family gathering post-lockdown and with 3 en-suite bedrooms and one bedroom with large bathroom it perfectly suited our group of 4 adults and 3 teens. Good WIFI (so important with said teens) and the best equipped kitchen I have ever seen in a holiday cottage lacking only storage for a week's worth of dry goods but with a huge fridge/freezer. Large garden with lovely views but is not enclosed and a road, ruined farmhouse and unfenced train-track within reach of a fast moving youngster would not recommend for young families. The outside could do with a little TLC and the promised gas BBQ was missing but otherwise a great cottage. Some nice local walks and easy access to West Coast, North Coast, Black Isle, Nairn Coast and Cairngorms.

Katie's Cottage

Loved this house in the beautiful Glen. Away from it all, every day seemed to have a different view. Would love to go back soon. Would definitely recommend.

Ardbeg

Fantastic house in a great location, never tire of the views. Clean and very comfortable. Close to the beach and shops. Would definitely recommend.

Fhaireag

Balachladdich

Lovely, well equipped and comfortable cottage. The three en-suite bedrooms and one bedroom with huge bathroom opposite was perfect for our family get-together (2 families with teenagers) giving us all some privacy. WIFI access also good (another must with teens). The kitchen was a great layout, had a huge fridge-freezer and is definitely the best-equipped kitchen I've ever had in a holiday cottage only lacking some cupboard space for the week's worth of food we bought. Log fire but no logs supplied (a starter pack would be appreciated) but we purchased from a local garage. Outside of house could do with a little TLC and the promised gas BBQ was missing but the views were lovely. There was a travel cot and high chair in storage for those with young families and a big lawn for playing but the garden is not fenced and with a ruined farmhouse next to the cottage, a road up the track and a trainline at the bottom of a short path from the garden I'm not sure I would recommend this for those families who have fast-moving little ones! Some good walks close by and a good location to get to a variety of places - West Coast, Aviemore, Nairn coastline, Black Isle and even further North all accessible with an hour to two's journey. Handy local shops, bigger shops available in Inverness and Dingwall and lots of cycle tracks in the vicinity. Despite not having the rugged beauty of the West Coast or the Highlands, it had a gentle charm of its own.

The Granary

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Granary. It is a lovely characterful cottage fitted and furnished to very high standards with two immaculate bathrooms, lovely kitchen, very comfortable beds and everything you could wish for. Everything was spotless and the cottage is within walking distance of local amenities. Great value, highly recommended.

The Mill at Glenlivet

Upper Folds

We were a bit dubious about what we were going to find heading up the road but once the cottage was in view we had no doubt we had chosen well. The cottage was in a very peaceful setting with only sheep for company. The inside was lovely and warm, very comfortable and had everything we wanted and needed. Definitely recommend bringing all you need with you as its a bit of a trek back down the lane to go out if you have forgotton something, But that's the fun of having a cottage in the middle of nowhere. Not far from the coast, we visited Findhorn which I would recommend a visit and other places along the coast which weren't so nice. Didn't get to see much wildlife while at the cottage which was a shame, mainly sheep and hares. Overall a very cosy and peaceful cottage and would recommend it if you want to get away from everything.

Cluny Croft

A traditional cottage in a great location to access many places such as Laggan Wolftrax for mountain biking. Plenty of walking options straight from the property. And not far to drive for local shops. Our children loved spotting wildlife from the kitchen window. The cottage is well equipped.

The Mill at Glenlivet

Arrivain Cottage

We echo all the excellent ratings and reviews given for Arrivain and its friendly owners. This is a really lovely cottage which is a delight to stay in. The surrounding area is stunning and there is so much to do. We loved walking different sections of the West Highland Way which passes through nearby Tyndrum; a great alternative if you are not a Munro bagger. Really hope to return.

Beech Lodge

Plodda Falls Lodge

A perfect stay after the craziness of lockdown. From the moment we arrived , to a wonderful warm welcome from Jenny including amazing cake !! The joy of watching the red squirrels in the forest or the wood peckers on the bird feeders. It was a wonderful family get away and we will definitely be back. Our two dogs had the best time exploring the surrounding area and the peace of mind letting them run free in the enclosed garden.

Plodda Falls Lodge

My stay at plodda falls was amazing, only 15 minutes walk up the track and plodda falls is there to view, the cottage is very clean spacious and relaxing. There is lots of woodland tracks to walk threw, would like to stay again.

Plodda Falls Lodge

Wow ! What an amazing place ! From the moment we arrived to the moment we left it was just perfection and much needed break after been in lock down. The lovely Jenny met us on arrival to show us around , and more importantly to give us home made cake !! It was a relaxing week away with the dogs who had the time of their lives in the enclosed garden and forest. Our daily entertainment of watching the finches and the woodpeckers on the bird feeders were a delight and spotting the odd red squirrel and even a slow worm!! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back

Stoer Lodge

The Stoer Lodge was a beautiful and cozy respite for our lockdown weary selves. The location is amazing, the house is lovely, and we felt right at home immediately. Would highly recommend. The area is absolutely stunning and Stoer Lodge is THE perfect location to explore it.

Plodda Falls Lodge

As we arrived we were greeted by lovely Jenny. The cottage is stunning and set in perfect surroundings, close to the fabulous Plodda Falls. The cottage is well equipped with everything you should need, comfortable sofas/beds and a lovely warm open fire. Jenny really made us feel welcome here, always on hand to answer questions and to provide and further information. The cottage has ample room for families. Myself, my partner and our two doggies stayed. Enclosed gardens which were ideal. We will definitely be returning here in the not too distant future.

Log Ness

I cannot express how totally stunning Log Ness is!! It is absolutely beautiful and set in an amazing location with brilliant views over Loch Ness. Sian and Phil happened to meet us upon our arrival at Log Ness and they were very welcoming and gave us lots of useful advice. There is everything you could possibly need in the lodge and all is to a very high standard. The log burner is amazing and keeps you nice and toastie with the under floor heating as well. There is a lovely outside drinking area with dart board, but unfortunately we couldn't really make use of this due to the bad weather. The washing machine and tumble drier came in very useful, especially for our ringing wet clothes from our Ben Nevis experience. We even arranged a Tesco delivery which turned up with no problems. The surroundings are so beautiful. There are lots of walks that can be done immediately from the lodge. We did a lovely 8 mile walk through some stunning locations. Would highly recommend Log Ness and Sian and Phil are more than happy to help out and answer any questions. We are even looking to go back in the summertime and make use of all the outside space and BBQ. Totally amazing!!

The Coltsfoots

This is an amazing property. Spotlessly clean. Wood provided for fire and property is so easy to keep warm. Kitchen had more equipment than we have at home- washing machine and separate drier. Proper wooden cot rather than travel cot provided and good, safe high chair. Showers are wonderful, hot and powerful. Strong wi-fi. Easy to keep clean, even with 2 Labradors. Quiet, peaceful and secluded. 10 mins walk into Fort Augustus (Uphill on way back) TV, CD player. Immediate access to Great Glen Way. Veranda/ decking area for sitting and for leaving muddy boots etc. Bathroom radiators suitable to drying damp clothing if necessary

Cameron's Cottage

Camero's Cottage was just the best . The photos really don't do it justice as it was so much more roomy than we expected . Morag ,the owner, was lovely and on hand should you need . The area is beautiful . Cameron's Tearooms are a must and a short walk from the cottage . The staff were so helpful and friendly and the food ..... well , we went everyday .Thats testament enough . We shall certainly be returning to this cottage .

Arrivain Cottage

Excellent cottage and a lovely warm welcome from the owners. The cottage is simply wonderful, and finished to a very high standard. It has its own privacy, whilst sharing the plot with the owners home, just a few yards away. The burn flowing besides is the only noise, coupled with the birds on the feeder and whilst close to the main road, its feels like you are in your own little world. A great location with access to Glen Coe, Oban and onwards to the West Coast. Get the fire roaring, have a walk through the woodland and relax with a whiskey.

Tor Cottage

Absolutely stunning location, and such a cozy, well equipped cottage with fabulous panoramic views. Ruth & John were incredibly helpful. 5* plus!!

Stablemans Lodge

We had a wonderful stay at Stablemans Lodge. It is warm and cosy, very clean, well-equipped and great location. The house is behind the owner's property but feels very private, and Grantown on Spey is a lovely little town, very pretty and a good base for lots of activities. As there is no central heating, I was a little worried that the house would not be warm enough, a key requirement for me, but due to the very efficient wood burner, heat circulation system and an electric heater in the kitchen (not really needed as it was warm enough, anyway) this was not the case, in fact it was toasty warm throughout our stay. There was also a double bed in the bedroom area, rather than all single beds, as shown on the photos, which was a nice surprise, too.

Callakille

A beautiful and extremely comfortable cottage in a stunning, remote and peaceful location. Very easy booking and pre-arrival communications. Will be back!

Seal Skerry Lodge

A fabulous place to stay, contemporary, filled with light & a profusion of glass to take in the stunning views of the sea loch from all rooms. Really appreciated the remote location, so quiet & unspoilt. However, take note that if visiting out of season there are very few facilities open. Bring your own food supplies. The tiny shop in Glendale has essential food supplies. Do not rely on it for food upon arrival as it will be closed & does not open again until 11am Monday. A welcome pack would be appreciated. The Co-op at Portree is an hour drive away.

Cala

I cannot say enough good things about our stay at Cala. Walking into the home for the first time took my breath away. The pictures are great and all, but I was actually shocked when I saw it in real life. I actually got misty when we had to leave. We are so thankful to Heather and Phil for letting us stay, and also to Brian and team at Wilderness Cottages. We are so looking forward to our next trip in November and are grateful to have worked with such great folks! Thanks again!

Tor Cottage

We had the best stay with Ruth and John at Tor Cottage! They were both so friendly and accommodating. The home is meticulously clean, warm, and great place to do a puzzle or read a book! We are so looking forward to the next time we stay! Thank you Ruth, John, and the wonderful team at Wilderness Cottages!

Rhundunan

Rhundunan is a child friendly and comfortable cottage. Whilst we did go out for walks every day (in February), it was a joy to stay in and watch the beautiful landscape around us.

Stablemans Lodge

Excellent accomodation. Clean, spacious with a welcome basket and warm fire on arrival. Quiet location next to beautiful woodland but close enough to walk into town within minutes. Great barbeque hut in the garden too.

Swallow Byre

Fantastic Byre full of rustic charm but all very modern with very efficient heating . Our only gripe is the tele was a bit on the small side but that might be because we are used to a big screen . OVERALL EXCELLENT.

Tigh-na-Craobh (The Tree House)

We had a wonderful break in this cottage. It is located in a fantastic location and perfect for a small family.

Fhaireag

Old Smiddy

The Coltsfoots

This was our 4th winter break staying here, brilliant time as always. Very cozy cabin, peace & quiet, lots of walking...we're coming back in September! Love The Coltsfoots for a family break.

South Lodge

Beautiful location with an abundance of birds and wildlife. The lodge itself is immaculate and sooo cosy especially with the log burner going. Everything you need is here it's a real home from home.
