Seal Skerry Lodge
Great location overlooking an aptly named 'skerry' where seals regularly bask. Well thought out ground floor with plenty of floor to ceiling glass for great views of the loch, the Western Isles and the 1000ft hills opposite. Two good sized bedrooms with plenty of storage. Super bathroom and downstairs shower room, this lodge had all we needed for a comfortable and very enjoyable week's stay. Cleanliness was as we would have hoped. Our first holiday in 30 months due to 'covid19' we had a most relaxing stay. We are looking at planning another holiday next year that can incorporate a stay in this lodge.
Sixgeary
Sixgeary is definitely one of the best holiday cottages we have ever stayed in. It has everything that is needed to make the holiday really enjoyable and its location is amazing with stunning views, even by Skye standards! If you are looking for somewhere special to stay, Sixgeary is highly recommended.

Littlepark Cottage
Eilean Mor Cottage
We absolutely loved staying in this cottage. Nice and cosy for the two of us, quiet and peaceful. Views were spectacular and location was ideal for us. Very well equipped with all you could ask for and more. We would love to return in the future.
Pier Head
Wonderful property, fully equipped that would easily accommodate six guests, although there were only two of us. Really warm and comfortable with a lovely space to sit and watch the loch.we did lots of home cooking and there wasn't a utensil we lacked! The views were superb, we saw eagles, seals and many other seabirds. The village shop was extremely well stocked and the Coastal bar really welcoming. Lots of local walks too! Only thing we felt it lacked was a wardrobe, so ended up hanging clothes on the back of all the bedroom doors ????.
Beach Lodge
This is our fourth visit to Beach Lodge and the location never disappoints it is exceptional. The cottage is lovely but it is getting in need of a refurb. It is clean but the settees are getting very worn and tired and the decor could do with a lick of paint. We will still be booking again though it would be nice to sit on comfortable furniture at the end of the day.
Pityoulish Cottage
Excellent Cottage; lovely location; the outdoor hut was a lovely addition overlooking the River Spey.
Loch Cottage
Within 5 minutes of our arrival felt totally relaxed. Just sat and watched the Loch and listened to the birds. Walking the forests of the Rothiemurchus estate was a delight . Lots of mushroom hunting. Really enjoyed our week. Many thanks
Oak Cottage
This is our second stay at Oak Cottage and as before it couldn't have been better. Warm, comfortable, well equipped and in great location.
Callakille
Callakille Cottage is a gem in the Scottish Highlands. Perfect place to escape from a busy city life. Tastefully decorated and fully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Clear instructions to operate appliances. The fireplace makes our stay very cosy. The view around the house is spectacular. Communication with the owner was easy and pleasant, quick response. We have enjoyed every minute of our stay in the cottage and would definitely recommend it to anybody who is looking for a quiet, peaceful and yet adventurous holidays in the Scottish Highlands.
Old Lock Keepers Cottage
Fabulous week at the Old Lock Keepers Cottage. Made the most of walking and fishing from the doorstep and enjoyed chatting with all the walkers, bikers, canoeists and sailors that were navigating the Great Glen Way
Fon Tobar
Ardbeg
Lovely accommodation. Great location, very comfortable. Clean and with good facilities. Enjoyed our two weeks stay. Would recommend to family and friends.
Earth House
Very quirky house, but warm, plenty of hot water, and well-equipped. Uninterrupted views over to Gruinard Island, with Achiltabuie and the Summer Isles behind. Owners close-by, always ready to answer any queries.
Moll Cottage
Ardrannach
The cottage is situated about 2 miles from the centre of Portree. The cottage is very spacious and the kitchen is well equipped. However, the cottage could do with some updating/modernisation. The views from living room window are spectacular. The location of the cottage is great for exploring Skye. Complimentary tea, coffee and some breakfast cereals were provided. The bath, hand and kitchen towels were all provided. We reported three issues to the owner: 1. Missing shelves in the fridge & a drawer in the freezer. 2. No clothes hook in the bathroom. 3. Light not working in one of the bedrooms. To our surprise a new fridge was delivered and installed the following day! A clothes hook was fitted in the bathroom and the light bulb was replaced in the bedroom. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the cottage and would recommend to family and friends.
The Lookout
Learag
My wife and I had a wonderful time staying at Learag. The accommodation is extremely comfortable and homely, and provides an excellent base for exploring this corner of Scotland.
Station Cottage
Udrigle House
Thoroughly enjoyed our week at Udrigle House. Johanna was the perfect host and couldn't do enough to help. We arrived late and in the dark yet she had ensured lights were on and provided a torch to help us unload. House was perfect for us and our Berneses Mountain dog. Loads of walks locally and no need to travel far.
Taffs Barn
We had a fantastic week at Taff's Barn. It is a very comfortable and spacious house and we really miss the wonderful views. We loved discovering the Black Isle and the region has great walks and great eating. The number of repeat visitors' happy comments in the house book speak for themselves. Highly recommended!
Eilean Mor Cottage
A very pleasant stay in a beautiful location. Well equipped holiday home.
High Tor House
High Tor cottage was perfect in every way. Wonderful views, excellent facilities and high quality equipment in the kitchen. Everything worked perfectly. The bedroom was very comfortable dark and quiet. We loved the peace and the constantly changing light and seascape.
Seal Skerry Lodge
Lovely house in the most perfect setting. Perfect for watching wildlife, weather and sky. The kitchen is really well equipped and a pleasure to cook in.
Katie's Cottage
We stayed for a week and took our little dog. The cottage is located close to Glendale Village centre, which has the best little shop ever, with the loveliest staff. The cottage was warm and well equipped. The area around the cottage is super quiet and at night you can't hear a thing, except for the hooting of owls. The Wi-FI worked fine for us. Some people who left review said it was hit and miss but we didn't find that. My only complaint would be that the visitor book is out of date and is probably past it's best.

Swallow Byre
Lovely cosy cottage with everything we needed in a beautiful location, perfect for exploring the north west coast of Scotland. Jean was an excellent host, amazing scones. Would definitely return sometime.
Reyflat Barn
Reyflat is the perfect spot from which to explore the Black Isle and beyond. The accomodation provides everything you could want with beautiful views and a friendly welcome. We never tire of staying here when we are in Scotland.
Littlepark Cottage
Arrivain Cottage
Arrivain is a very clean, warm and cosy cottage which has been lovingly restored by the owners, from whom we received a very warm and friendly welcome on arrival. The cottage is very well equipped and in a good location for travelling and planning days out / walking in the area. It has a secluded garden with much wildlife and a very nice stream to sit beside. We loved it and would not hesitate to book it again if we were planning to holiday in this area.
Pityoulish Cottage
We had a wonderful two week stay in Pityoulish Cottage. The views are stunning. The Sitooterie was also very special. We sat one evening watching Deer chasing each other on the other side of the river. The cottage was nicely presented and comfortable. The nearby Loch Pityoulish is quiet and perfect for paddle boarding and swimming. A great base for exploring the area. We would love to return.
Seascape Cottage
What a fantastic week we had at this lovely cottage, from the welcome basket on arrival from Sarah, to the views and walks along the gorgeous coastline. We were lucky enough to sea seals playing in the bay. We would just like to say thank you for letting us be part of your lovely community.
The Orchids
A 1st class property with views to match certainly looking forward for a return visit Wilderness cottages also should have 5 stars for their service.
Moll Cottage
Wilderness Cottages Replied...
Dear Mr Steve Pembroke-Smith, thank you for your review and feedback. As per the email we did send you, the owner did only ask us to process the compensation on the 10th September, this being the day you left. The owner had also confirmed that the problem with the bed sheets was resolved on Sunday 4th September, so we assumed everything had been sorted to your satisfaction.
Pier Head
This is the second time we have stayed at Pier head, the previous time was in September 2019, and we liked it so much we wanted to stay there again, but we weren't able to visit during 2020 or 2021 because of covid. Its in a fabulous location, right on the sea loch, with a beautifult view of Shieldaig Island, and excellent walking, rock climbing and kayaking all easily accessible.. Some of our team went swimming from the old pier in front of the house and were able to dash straight back in for hot showers. As a group with one couple and four friends, its good to have two twin bedrooms (many rentals only have double beds). We hope to return sometime!
Matheson's Croft House
Lovely, cosy cottage tucked away right at the end of the little road. You can really get away from everybody here. Rayburn boiler took a bit of getting used to but turned out to be very good. Heating easy to adjust via thermostat, had a good deal of wet weather. There is a back gate which allows access to the loch but have to navigate high grass and then slippery, seaweed covered rocks. Great base for mountain walking and cycling, with very easy access to Skye. WiFi in the cottage was a godsend, mobile phone signal was variable. We enjoyed two wonderful weeks here and would highly recommend but you do need a car. Cottage caretaker was very helpful at the start when the boiler tripped. Staff at Wilderness cottages made booking and then altering our booking very easy. Thank you!
Cedar Cottage
There may be no wi-fi, but there is the best bird bird feeder ever- even attracts red squirrels. Quiet and secluded. This cottage has a great garden and is well fitted out inside.
Kincardine Cottage
This is a lovely spacious cottage in a delightful location. Very comfortable, well equipped and with a great conservatory. Red squirrel and treecreeper in the garden. We hope to be back again.
Poulary Cottage
A superb cottage in a wonderful location. Everything about it is perfect in every way, the area, the wildlife and the tranquillity. We were very lucky with the weather and enjoyed sitting on the balcony looking down the wonderful glen. Many lovely walks from the cottage and in the area. The cottage was comfortable, scrupulously clean and couldn't be faulted in any way. We look forward to a return visit. Thank you very much.

Stablemans Lodge
We spent a lovely week at the Stablemans lodge, the pictures online don't do it justice, it is beautiful inside and little touches such wonderful artwork from the owner, make it feel really special. The kitchen is well equipped and we found a very generous welcome hamper on our arrival. The BBQ hut was a fantastic treat and we enjoyed cooking food we purchased from the local grocers and butchers on the high street. If you get a chance to visit the owners art studio, it's worth while and only a 10 minute walk from the property, details are at the property. Sitting out on the balcony was always the perfect end to each day and because it's covered in, the weather didn't stop our enjoyment of sitting outside. The owners were very welcoming and provided everything we could have needed for a wonderfully relaxing break. Unlike a lot of places, there was an ample supply of logs for the fire.
Marnie's Croft
Jura
A beautiful cottage in a great location with great facilities. Well equipped and has everything you need with great walking right from the doorstep. We went with our kids age 1 and 7. We'd love to go back. It's very remote (but thats what we wanted). At first the lack of phone signal/Wifi was a little annoying, as you need to book tables to eat out in Applecross, however I think being disconnected from it all made our holiday much much better than it would have otherwise been, so I hope it stays that way and I'd encourage everyone to try it.
Glenara
Upper Folds
We stayed for a week in this absolutely superb cottage. Very comfortable, finished to a very high standard, we couldn't fault it. A totally Wilderness Cottage for sure, we loved the peace and quiet, and the total silence of it all. A great week to recharge our batteries, no phones, and no TV. Bliss, we will definitely be returning.
