The Challey at Heathcote

Seascape Cottage

A lovely cottage in a fabulous location. The cottage has everything you need including a super welcome hamper. Stunning views, beach just a 2 minute walk, very quiet and peaceful. Lots of lovely coastal walks and lots of interesting places to visit. You can walk for hours and not see a soul. Can throughly recommend this cottage if you are looking for a peaceful place to unwind.

Moll Cottage

Ardbeg

This has been the fourth occasion we have enjoyed the excellent facilities afforded by "Ardbeg". Certainly one of our favourite holiday rental homes and it is with complete confidence I predict any tenant will be suitably impressed. It was particularly pleasing to find such a vast improvement with BT wi-fi access during this last visit. Many thanks to the owners for the pride taken in the property.

Swallow Byre

Another wonderful week at Swallow Byre. Our host Jane is amazing and made sure we had everything we needed. Many thanks.

Lilybank

This was our 2nd time staying at Lilybank and once again we had a lovely holiday. The property itself is immaculate and well equipped with everything you could need. We enjoyed games nights at the large dining table, cosy chats in the comfortable lounge and afternoons watching the boats from the garden. Easily enough room for 6 adults who don't want to be on top of each other all the time! Fort Augustus is a lovely location, well placed to visit the Highlands area. We would highly recommend a visit!

Kincardine Cottage

Our 4th stay at Kincardine cottage. We love the peace and quiet. Beautiful surroundings, easy walks with the dogs.

Leachachan Barn

We have just had a fabulous relaxing week at Leachachan barn. The barn is well equipped and a real home from home with fabulous views and wildlife watching opportunities. It's on the quieter side of the Loch with forest walks directly up behind. The closest petrol station/shop is closed on Sunday so make sure you arrive with enough fuel to get to Kyle or further afield. We look forward to returning...

Eilean Mor Cottage

Perfect place for exploring North West Skye. We visited Dunvegan Castle,coral beaches,Talisker Bay and distillery. Dunvegan provided our needs for groceries, petrol and tyre pump. The cottage conservatory has a fabulous view of the loch and we spent our evenings their.

Score Bay Cottage

Cameron's Cottage

A beautiful property in a stunning location, with a delightful host. We were really impressed. There's so much space and light inside, all the furniture including beds was very comfortable, well equipped kitchen, and a high standard of cleanliness. The surroundings are idyllic, with highland cattle and a pony in the field next door and beautiful views everywhere. It's a quiet location but a short walk away from a cafe serving delicious food, and not much further on foot to the village of Foyers, with a waterfall, shop, post office and cafe. A good base for exploring Loch Ness and the surrounding countryside. Thoroughly recommend

Matheson's Croft House

Matheson's croft is a very well equipped cottage which fitted all our needs and everything of the equipment worked perfect. At our arrival things were prepeared to make us a perfect stay, kitchen, gear, dishes and bathroom were very clean. We also want to support the "no pets statement". There is a good selection of DVD and books for rainy days. Furniture is comfortable, especially beds and sofa and decoration of the walls is nice to look at. The Rayburn has been easier to use than expected as this was new to us. This remembered us on times we were cooking on a wood fired oven at home. Otherwise outside the house some improvements can be done. First of all an access to the lochside should be made, a door through the fence and cut clear a walkway. Unfortunately a note about the fenced off lochside is missing in the house description. Also some gravel can be added in front of the back door, there is a puddle that slowly dries after a rainy day. Probably the cleaner of the house will estimate this too, of course we changed footwear on the doorstep, but some dirt always finds it's way to the inside floor. So the outside is why our rating is one step down from excellent (house excellent, outside good).

Seabank Cottage

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Seabank Cottage. The amazing view from the kitchen window alone was enough to win me over but it was also very clean, well-equipped and comfortable with lots of characterful individual touches. its location in Lochcarron was ideal for exploring this beautiful part of Scotland. I would happily return to this special place any time.

Arrivain Cottage

We had a wonderfull time at Arrivain cottage. Is was very clean and fully equipped

Littlepark Cottage

Cluny Croft

Tor Cottage

First class cottage and hosts. Views amazing. I think we will be back. Thank you for the advice on where to walk. We ticked off Sea Eagles, Sea Otters and Golden Eagles what's not to like. Missing Harris already :)

Eilean Mor Cottage

This is a lovely well equipped holiday cottage in a lovely location with outstanding views. The oven was a bit tricky and wasn't working properly and if the upstairs bed was king size then it would have been perfect but absolutely no complaints we had a fantastic week here.

Plodda Falls Lodge

This is a beautiful cottage, lovingly restored by the owners. The rooms are spacious and so well furnished. The garden is fully enclosed and well kept. The forest is on the door step and it is like having your own private forest at certain times of the day. I don't think we have ever been anywhere so quiet. There is a really interesting history of the Guisachan Estate (Plodda Falls Lodge is part of this) and lots to see and do in the surrounding area. Jenny, the owner is on hand to answer any questions you have or to give you suggestions about different walks if you need. The nearest shops are a bit of a drive away in Cannich so I would arrive with food etc. Midge repellent is also advised depending on when you are visiting. We had a great holiday and I look forward to returning in the future.

Old Lock Keepers Cottage

Cottage has lots of character and everything you need. Lovely enclosed gardens and ideal location right at 2 locks on the canal, it's very quite but busy at the same time, relaxing though. Stairs are steep as advised to the bedrooms upstairs. This cottage is not perfect but the good bits make it a great place to visit. We did feel more cleaning was needed done in between guests but this is the only issue Sunroom is great also, larrge utility room Can walk in both directions from cottage and fort Augustus is a 4 mile easy walk along the path.. Fort William 30 mins away. Urquhart castle 30 mins away also. Fort Augustus also has a few shops and boat trips. Location is ideal for visiting surrounding areas.

Seascape Cottage

An amazing place to spend a week - view across the sea, beach less than 5 minutes walk away and a beautiful area. Plenty or wildlife on land, sea and air to enjoy and enjoyable walks from the cottage if you don't want to take the car out. The cottage itself is very well appointed and comfortable, excellent basket of goodies to welcome guests and the neighbours are all very welcoming. The owner, Sarah, is incredibly friendly and helpful - we'll certainly be back.

Learag

Our stay at Learag was as close to perfect as we could have imagined. Even the weather was favourable, which is always a bonus in this beautiful area. The house itself was in a very useful location for visits in the surrounding area - it was in exceptional condition, very clean and tidy. Everything we needed was supplied and was of very nice quality. Evelyn and Bryden had obviously given a lot of thought into how the place was presented. Visits from their very friendly little dog, Nova, also helped to make this stay memorable. Highly recommended.

Learag

Beautiful relaxing house in lovely peaceful location with all amenities required. Great outside space with plenty seating areas. Everything first class. Look forward to returning.

Pityoulish Cottage

wonderful place to stay, views from the windows and garden are incredible. Made full use of the garden room as the sunset. Swam most days in the loch opposite the cottage. Lovely clean, bright, quiet place to stay in a stunning location

Upper Folds

Upper Folds is the most idyllic place to stay to de-stress and take in the awesome beauty of nature at it's very best. I would not hesitate for a moment in recommending a stay here. Everything is just perfect, clean and beautifully presented. With it being a very dry summer we did contemplate taking a 'normal' car but thankfully after receiving a video from the owner - very helpful indeed - we're very glad we did take our 4x4 - it's most definitely needed. Don't get caught out.....you have been warned. We had the BEST week weather-wise too. And who says it rains in Scotland?:) We returned home looking as if we'd spent a week on the continent.

The Granary

The Granary was ideal for our family holiday. It had everything we needed and was clean, tidy and cozy. It is in a great location with lots to do in and around Drumnadrochit or within a relatively short drive. Plodda Falls in Glen Affric, dolphin watching at Chanonry Point and cycling beside the Caledonian Canal just three highlights.

Coorie

Our first word as we went through the door was, "wow!" This "cabin" is both fantastic and slightly aggravating.... Fantastic because it's so very comfortable, beautifully equipped and very tastefully decorated but slightly aggravating because you just know that your wife will be logging away all the lovely features and insist they are added to your own (now slighly down-graded) home. The comfort here is amazing; the weather on Skye is unpredictable to say the least but inside Coorie its always warm and quiet, despite half of one side being glass. Talking of glass... the view is to die for. The rocky shore is about 300yds away and can be reached fairly easily through the bracken. The bathroom; luckily we've changed our bathroom in the last 8 months or so (after a holiday in Yorkshire!). Good job too because the bathroom is large and the bath big enough to replace the ferry from Kylerhea! The bed was large and comfortable (Audrey took a photo of the mattress label so that we can get one!) and was always a comfortable temperature and quiet, despite us having stormy weather and very mild nights. The surrounding area was perfect for us... plenty of wildlife, very quiet and beautiful views. In 30 years of travelling around various parts of the UK, we have NEVER had a property this good. It's absolutely amazing and shouldn't be judged by it's cabin-like appearance from the outside. You MUST take binoculars and you WILL fight over the view from the armchair in front of the window. We are now at home in Dorset and Audrey is preparing me a, "to do", list. Joking aside, this place is fabulous.

Balachladdich

This was our second year at ballachladdich. It's a wonderfully appointed house which easily accommodates two families. The position is perfect to explore the black isle and more while having a lovely quiet location. Will definitely return again sometime soon. The Abernethy's and Cochrans.

Plodda Falls Lodge

We just spent a magical week at Plodda Falls Lodge. Jenny was wonderfully welcoming and the cake was a particularly lovely touch at the end of a long drive! The cottage is very comfortable and set in an incredibly special location. The walks straight from the garden are simply beautiful, and it was the perfect base to explore the wider area. The walk around Loch Affric is stunning and another highlight was a canoe trip through the Aigas Gorge.

Tigh-na-Craobh (The Tree House)

Very nice holiday home

Ceol na Mara

We enjoyed our stay at Ceol na Mara very much. The house has everything you might need, is very clean and comfortable. The views are excellent and we had the added interest of the dry dock at Kishorn opening to move a vessel out into the bay. Deers visit to forage along the edge of the beach most mornings and evenings and we saw an otter in the loch one evening. The area is beautiful with lots of fantastic walking opportunities. 10 out of 10 - we would highly recommend.

Poulary Cottage

Our 24th visit to Poulary! We've been coming here every year since 2008. The cottage is perfect, home from home! You can't beat the ever changing view from the dining room, it's stunning. The bird table is very busy from morn till night. Regular visits at night from the pine martens and occasionally in the daytime too! Also foxes, badgers and weasel seen in the garden. Osprey and buzzards overhead and deer in the grounds of the cottage. Perfect, its a stunning place to visit any season of the year whatever the weather. There are lots of walks close to the cottage and the cottage is central in the highlands to visit lots of places. Wilderness cottages is a brilliant company to deal with, always excellent communication, thank you Brian. Thanks to Ian and Lyndie for sharing your cottage, we love it and will be back again soon.

Cedar Cottage

What an absolute gem of a cottage ! Set in beautiful setting on the Dava way. The cottage was immaculate, perfect ! If you want peace and quiet this is the ideal place. The only traffic to pass the cottage were cyclists, walkers and horses from the nearby stables. The garden was perfect, I booked Cedar cottage mainly because of reviews about red squirrels, we were not disappointed, 2 squirrels were on the feeders 10 minutes after we arrived. We spent many a hour sitting on the patio watching them. We visited lots of harbours and beaches dolphin spotting, lots of walks around the cottage. Lots of places to visit in the area .Loved the welcome gift of wine, chocolates and biscuits. Hopefully we will return to this gem of a cottage. Thank you.

Tor Cottage

A lovely place to stay, owner very welcoming. Great facilities only thing that let it down was the beds. Double was rock hard and our daughter in the single had springs poking at her

Charleston

As ever a wonderful relaxing stay at Charleston. A place we keep being drawn back to. Have made many wonderful memories staying here with family and our dogs over the years. Stayed in spring summer and autumn, every season beautiful. As I've said before I hate leaving a good review as we always struggle to get booked now! thanks for the lovely stay

Arrivain Cottage

Lovely, comfortable cottage in a beautiful setting. Perfectly placed for visiting the surrounding area with Oban, Glencoe, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs all easily accessible. We loved the comfortable bed and amazing shower, well equipped kitchen and daily visits from red squirrels and birds. Highly recommend!

Don Cottage

Taffs Barn

Great cottage with everything we needed. Lovely views of the surrounding countryside and a super place to relax and explore the Black Isle. Beautifully maintained in a perfect location.

Cala

I really enjoyed my stay at Cala. The house is amazing, almost perfect. It is well-equipped and there are instructions available for all equipment. The views over Loch Nedd and Quinag are ever-changing and provide a fabulous panorama. The sheep around (and under!) the house are entertaining, if sometimes able to generate curious noises. There's plenty of wildlife to be seen from the house - binoculars are a must to take advantage of the seals, birds, deer (including swimming deer on Loch Nedd) and otters. I understand the idea behind no blinds but I would prefer a blind in the bedroom - it's not inconceivable that somebody might wander to the front of the house. The broadband was very unstable when I was there - at times so wobbly that it wasn't possible to do a basic search to book a boat trip.

Old Lock Keepers Cottage

Old Lock Keepers Cottage is probably the nicest cottage we have had in the 20 years we have used Wilderness Cottages it has everything we look for in a holiday home. It coped with 6 big people and a big dog comfortably even the tight staircase wasn't really an issue, the location is perfect with just the right amount of passing walkers, cyclists and boats. The fishing in the river was excellent if not a little expensive, we also witnessed a 30lb pike being caught in the canal so all in all a really nice week we will definitely book again for next year.

Leachachan Barn

This is a beautiful property set in a picturesque location. Everything about it was brilliant, we loved the fire after a day of exploring, and the bottle of Talisker was a lovely touch. The property has ample facilities for a week or 2 away, the road in front of the barn isn't too busy, but its worth noting the barn is a short distance away from a Salmon fishery so you do get workers etc travelling down at various points. Its in a stunning location with easy access to a lot of things to do. We took a drive to Talisker beach, it was rainy throughout but still stunning, the drive down to the small parking area was bumpy and it seems that the local landowner has a slight issue with people parking up as he suggested the council come down regularly to ticket vehicles. You can actually see Eillean Doonan castle from the front garden if you squint, and if you follow the road to the left in front of the house you get a great view of the castle from the opposite side of the loch. The castle has a lovely cafe serving decent food, and there is a bakehouse a short distance away too. The CO-OP at Kyle of Lochalsh has a good selection of food and nibbles if you run out. Well worth a mention is the beach at Glenelg, lovely wide sandy beach with some fantastic views. We always travel with our little dogs, one of which has mobility issues, so we can't take her on huge walks. it was just nice to lay on the huge comfy sofas and watch the loch. Well worth the journey from South Yorkshire. Thanks for letting us stay

The Coltsfoots

We had a great week at The Coltsfoot, it was such a peaceful location with nature all around. We had a visit from a family of deer and a pheasant and heard the fox calling in the early evening. The Coltsfoot has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing week. Close to many lovely walks it combines tranquility with easy access to Fort Augustus and the local walks and hikes.

Glenara

The Stables

We spent a lovely week at The Stables to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It's a perfect retreat for a couple, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Crail has all the local amenities you need & perfect for an evening walk. It's also ideally situated for visiting the coastal fishing villages & venturing further afield to Edinburgh, Perth & Dundee. We're already planning another holiday in the area with the family next year.

Seascape Cottage

Our family had a wonderful holiday, this is an exceptional cottage. Highly recommended.

Tigh-na-Craobh (The Tree House)

Had a great week in Skye, accomodation was first class, all amenities where catered for and the location was so nice. Local beaches were explored and enjoyed, actually saw a deer walking past the cottage. Could not fault the area for a base on the island. Would love to stay again ????

Eilean Mor Cottage

Eilean Mor cottage is well kitted out and beautifully situated. We saw seals and dolphins in the bay. It is a comfortable, cosy and scenic base.

The Coltsfoots

We had a lovely week at The Coltsfoot. The Log cabin is superb, very comfortable and with everything you need for an enjoyable holiday. The peace and tranquility is wonderful as are the visits from the deer, fox and other assorted wildlife that wander by. Lots of great walks through the woodland and by the river. We also had glorious weather which was a bonus.

Seal Skerry Lodge

We had a great few days at Seal Skerry Lodge. It's a fab location looking out over the sea - so beautiful and peaceful and the house is full of light. It is very well equipped with everything you need for cooking and eating together. The beds are comfy, the shower is powerful and the bath is deep! We didn't have any rainy days but there are games and books too. We went on a walk right round the headland straight from the house and also fishing and kayaking.
