The Artist's Cottage
Third time staying at The Artist`s Cottage and another good experience. Architecture and interiors really provide the atmosphere of a Rennie Macintosh property. Helpful and receptive owner. We will return again.
Toberaie
We stayed at Toberaie during a very mild and clear week at the end of October. The weather meant we made the most of the national park and further afield, and enjoyed magnificent sun sets from the cottage most days - the cottage is in the most amazing location for views over the Cairngorm. The cottage is very charming as it is quite rustic and v traditional, more spacious than we expected. The stove in dining room works well, we didn't use the other one. The electric heaters warm rooms up quickly but there isn't any central heating. Loads of hot water using immersion. The only improvements would be more comfortable seating options and I would suggest supplying extra wool blankets for beds as it was cool overnight so mid-winter they would definitely be needed - we used blankets we had brought ourselves - surprising there aren't any wool blankets in wardrobes but Covid may explain that as I know lots of places had to clear out soft furnishings. Many thanks for a wonderful week, we will definitely be back.
Strone
It always delivers this delightful cottage. With good views due it's good location. We will return.
Ardrannach
Unfortunately, this property is no longer with Wilderness Cottages.
Stoer Lodge
Beautiful location, cottage is warm and comfy. The local scenery and beaches are amazing, we've already booked again for next year!
Seahorses
We love Seahorses. Just had our second stay. A lovely, clean, spacious, well-equipped cottage. Highly recommended.
Easter Knocklea Cottage
The cottage is in the most stunning setting overlooking a valley with beautiful views. We loved our stay and will definitely be returning. The house is exceptionally well equipped with lots of thoughtful additions and everything is of a very high quality. Sad to be home!
Braehead Steading
A beautifully warm, cosy cottage with absolutely everything you could want for. We had a wonderful holiday with lovely weather and the scenery is just gorgeous and went for some lovely walks. We highly recommend the Staeding and look forward to returning in the near future.
Leachachan Cottage
We had a very relaxing stay in this beautifully renovated cottage. It had everything we needed to cook and make ourselves comfortable, although the sofa was quite firm, being a sofa bed. The underfloor heating was very much appreciated. The view was stunning and ever changing. We enjoyed the garden, apple trees and feeding the birds on the picnic table. We walked local to the loch, at Sandaig and the Herring path from Corran, cycled along Loch Long and visited some of the Brochs too. The generous welcome gifts of local chocolates and your card were lovely touches as were the supply of local soaps, tea, coffee and milk. We used the downstairs shower over bath as the upstairs shower had fluctuating pressure. Overall we had a lovely time in this very special place and would recommend.
Tigh-na-Craobh (The Tree House)
The house is very beautiful and well kept. We were really impressed with how well stocked it was, it had everything we needed and more. It was really warm and cosy, the seating was perfect for relaxing- super comfortable sofa. Thank you for the wine, coffee and biscuits - all delicious and really thoughtful. We had a brilliant time, the house is well located to visit all of Skye. Would definitely recommend, and recommend Wilderness Cottages - every property we rented through this company have been outstanding with great customer service.
Roseville
Roseville is home from home. Clean, well appointed and very comfortable. Great location too. Easy access to enjoy the sights and sounds of the Highlands. Highly recommend a stay here. We've been 3 times and will be back. ????
Charleston
2nd visit here. This place is amazing, everything inside for you to have a nice stay, spacious, spotless , plenty of storage etc in garage,but the gardens and surrounding areas are what does it for us, was a few vehicles going up side of property though (farm vehicles) which we never had last time but really your up a private drive. Close to good attractions . Would come back here on a minute
Ardbeg
Great location with panoramic views to Skye. Ardbeg is finished to a very high standard and detail throughout. Gairloch is a good location for seeing the Highlands and the coast and teems with wildlife, golden eagles, white tailed eagles, otters and more, even a storm called Ashley; which we survived intact! It was a great two weeks. Well worth every moment. Would stay again.
Leachachan Cottage
What a magical place to stay. Leachachan Cottage has been lovingly restored and is modernly stylish. The perfect place to unwind & recharge. The surrounding scenery is stunning and ideal place to see wildlife. It's also a good base for visiting The Highlands. We had a wonderful holiday and can't wait to return..
The Coltsfoots
Booked a midweek break at Coltsfoots log cabin to use as a base for exploring the west coast of the highlands. What a great choice! The cabin was an absolute joy to stay in. So well presented, everything you could possibly need was provided in this excellent cabin. I will definately be returning. Lovely host, very friendly & welcoming. Thank you!
Coorie
We had a wonderful autumnal week at Coorie, our warm and beautiful base for exploring the Sleat peninsula. The views from the house are wonderful and it's the perfect place to come back to after walks to the Point of Sleat, around Kinloch Forest or further afield.
Wildwood
Stayed at wildwood lodge in fort Augustus Absolutely amazing, spotless and very spacious
Swallow Byre
Unfortunately, this property is no longer with Wilderness Cottages.
Seascape Cottage
Just had our 4th time at Seascape Cottage, it is a wonderful place for peace and quiet with amazing views and a very comfortable cosy home. We cannot recommend this place highly enough. Sarah is a great host and thinks of everything you could need. Booked up again for next spring already.
Ceol na Mara
What a lovely cottage, fantastic location, warm and very cosy, perfectly equipped, having visited Scotland for the last 6 years this has to be one of the best I have stayed in,,,didn't want to leave,,but will be back.thank you for the lovely welcome pack.
The Orchids
Unfortunately, this property is no longer with Wilderness Cottages.
Tigh-na-Craobh (The Tree House)
As we arrived at the Tree House a Golden Eagle lifted up into the trees and flew off as we entered. What a welcome! A beautiful house in a beautiful setting among trees and fields with sheep. The single lane track leads further down to a nice beach. We explored Trotternish, the area around Dunvegan, Talisker and Carbost and when it was raining we spent some time in Portree. We thoroughly enjoyed our time which was way too short and would happily come back.
Old Lock Keepers Cottage
This gem of a cottage was a pleasant surprise. We knew it had age but did not expect the comfort and warmth it gave us. Our time here flew past as there was so many attractions and things to do nearby. Boats galore on the canal and everyone had a smile and wave. Given the chance we will return again soon.
Ardrannach
Unfortunately, this property is no longer with Wilderness Cottages.
North Lodge
What a beautiful and relaxing place to chill and unwind with my owners. Warm and cozy. It was also the perfect base, not only to explore locally, but also further afield. Woof woof.
The Granary
Wonderful week away in this gorgeous cottage. Furnishings were of an excellent standard and overall it was very cosy with loads of homely touches. Hosts were so friendly and the welcome gift was very unexpected. Great base for exploring. People in the village were also very friendly and welcoming, especially at The Loch Ness Inn. We would definitely recommend this property and would return in a heartbeat.
The Barn, Corrimony
Unfortunately, this property is no longer with Wilderness Cottages.
Ardbeg
Excellent property with excellent views over to Skye. Very comfortable and warm with everything you need for a relaxing break. Will hopefully return.
Old Lock Keepers Cottage
That's our 5th time and have next year booked already. Absolutely stunning location and the cottage is out of this world. So clean and has everything you'd need for a comfortable stay. Absolutely love our time there.
Toberaie
We have just returned from our weeks stay at Toberaie. The cottage is in a great location with beautiful views of the surrounding hills. We were fortunate as arrived on a sunny afternoon so saw the best of the autumn colours and sunset - it rained most days after that. We found the cottage itself very comfortable with really everything and more that a holiday guest would hope to find (except no mop!). We had read in other reviews of people walking direct from the cottage but this was something we couldn't do as we have a dog and thelocal estate had feeders out for the pheasants and partridges of which there thousands (no exageration.
Upper Folds
We spent a wonderful week at upper folds cottage and I can honestly say it was beautiful the cottage is clean warm and cozy and has everything you would need for your stay. The owners have thought of everything. If you're looking to recharge your batteries then this is definitely the place to come. Can't wait to return next year
Roseville
Cottage very comfortable and well equipped. Beds and showers excellent and decor spotless. The chef was very happy when he found the cheese grater - it looks rather different than expected - but worked really well. We really enjoyed our stay and did a mix of hill walking, coastal walks and touristy things. Weather generally better than expected. Lochinver Pottery and pie shop are a must to visit. The only minor niggle was the washbasins upstairs which are only suitable for brushing your teeth, being small and shallow. Using them to wash results in water everywhere :-)
Tor Cottage
Faultless, what an amazing cottage. Amazing views you would never try of. Dolpins regular seem from the cottage, beautiful views across the island and onto isle of Skye, you can see 49 miles onto Sgurr nan Giliean amazing. . Very clear and comfortable with everything you need, kitchen was well equipped Hosts were very welcoming without being intrusive, extremely knowledgeable of the island. Having traveled numerous Scottish islands this is one of the best places ever visited. We strongly recommend. Enjoy this wonderful island. Thank you So much Ruth and John, fabulous. Carol & Steve
South Lodge
Please don't tell anyone about this location! It's perfect with no humans! Otters for company every day, badger every night. We will go back there. It's absolutely stunning
The Challey at Heathcote
We have stayed at the Challey quite a few times now and just love the setting...and it's position close to the River Spey, Speyside Way...and of course more distilleries than you can shake a stick - do a DRAMble around many!! We love the hiking possibilities all around us. The Challey is very comfortable, well appointed - the hosts also live on next door and are extremely welcoming and helpful. If you are looking for somewhere different to go to in Scotland then we can highly recommend the Challey!!!
Stoer Lodge
Easy booking process and great communication. Beautiful old school house with some original features and felt like home from home. Stunning location and we had a quiet, peaceful week. The dog loved the enclosed garden and her 'private beach' would return and highly recommend
Coorie
We had one very big issue with Coorie - we had to leave it! What an amazing holiday property. On arrival Coorie was spotless. We have been extremely comfortable and warm. We've loved nothing better than sitting at the dining table with a drink enjoying the incredible views. The bed is comfy (we slept so well), bathroom very luxurious and lounge/sofa very cozy and comfortable. We love everything about Coorie including the decor and furniture! This was our first time to Skye, we love the local area and we've had an amazing holiday. We were unbelievably lucky with the weather and had thirteen days of sunshine out of fifteen days. A wonderful holiday property and we'd love to go back someday.
Ardbeg
Beautiful property with a stunning view from both inside and the balcony, out over Gairloch bay and the village to Skye and the Hebrides. Lots to do and places to explore and always a warm comfortable place to come back to.
The Coltsfoots
A wonderful log cabin with brilliant facilities. Fort Augustus is situated between Fort William and Inverness; providing access to the hills, mountains, munroes and stunning forest walks. The village has : cafes, restaurants and the Caledonian Canal. The hosts are lovely and make you feel very welcome. Would highly recommend.
South Lodge
Great cottage in a perfect location right on the shore of West Loch Tarbert. Lovely peaceful spot with amazing views and wildlife on the doorstep.
Lilybank
We had a wonderful stay at Lilybank. The house is extremely comfortable, we had everything we needed and it is in a perfect position with wonderful views yet only a few minutes walk to shops and restaurants. I highly recommend it.
Loch Cottage
A lovely cottage with a beautiful view over the Loch . The recently built porch was a perfect place to sit with a coffee looking at the view. The cottage is obviously being upgraded to a high standard and was clean and comfortable
Seal Skerry Lodge
Great location and views. Lovely house. Our dog loved the enclosed garden. But there didn't seem to be a vacuum cleaner! Hard floors throughout had to be swept with a brush which we found a bind and would put us off booking again.
Wilderness Cottages Replied...
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for Seal Skerry Lodge. As Wilderness Cottages are the booking agents, we contacted the owner to discuss your feedback. The owners apologise for the lack of a vacuum cleaner during your stay. Unfortunately it had broken and they were in the process of sourcing a replacement, which will be at the cottage this weekend. Sorry for the inconvenience this caused.
Eilean Mor Cottage
Lovely cottage . We did expect better cleaning of fluff and cobwebs . We did expect a change of linen after the first week and a bit more than 5 logs for the stove . Lovely and quiet and very well placed for exploring .
Wilderness Cottages Replied...
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on your stay at Eilean Mor Cottage. We are glad to hear the positive aspects of your holiday and disappointed to hear you found some negative points. As Wilderness Cottages are the booking agents, we have contacted the owners to make them aware of your feedback, which they will investigate and where necessary make improvements. Only 5 logs was clearly an oversight and we are sorry about this, had this been communicated with the owner, they would have gladly supplied you with more along with providing a fresh change of linen. We encourage any issues to be brought to the attention of the cottage contact person or Wilderness Cottages during your stay.
Ceol na Mara
Wow what a beautiful cottage with views that you can only dream about. Everything about this cottage was fabulous, so cosy, warm and comfortable. Right on the Loch, just amazing. We had the best week here with our dogs, I can't recommend this cottage enough. We dropped on with the weather too. Very well stocked, a real home from home. Would love to venture back in Winter.
The Coltsfoots
Stayed in Coltsfoots last week, it is our 4th time staying, and probably not our last This is a great cabin, nicely furnished, and in a great spot. 5mins walk from Fort Augustus village, but you feel as if you are in the middle of nowhere, very peaceful Nicely situated for exploring the highlands, Inverness or even a day trip to Skye. We visited Fort William and the ski resort too 5* recommendation
The Granary
Our third stay in this fabulous cottage which really is a home from home. Nice walks from the door, village a few minutes away and easily accessible by road. The cottage is comfortable, cosy and warm and forms a great base from which to explore the Highlands or to just chill and relax. Hoping to return again in the future!
The Mill
We had a really great stay. The Mill was warm, comfortable and had everything we needed - with lovely views and plenty of room for our two dogs. It was situated in a great place for us to get into the Cairngorms from Aviemore and from Braemar - and to visit the Moray coast.
The Old Manse Barn
Unfortunately, this property is no longer with Wilderness Cottages.
Earth House
Just had the most peaceful and relaxing week here. The location is unbeatable. Fabulous views and total privacy. Loved being able to walk straight out onto the beach. Also wonderful to sit inside and watch the ever changing scenery. Such an interesting property that provides everything you need, even down to a welcome bottle of wine!
