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

Strone

Everything was ok.

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.

Rowan Ridge

Score Bay Cottage

Lilybank

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Very clean with a well-equipped kitchen.

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
