North Lodge
A cosy warm lodge, well equipped kitchen, if somewhat darker than we would have liked. Ideally situated on the Lochnaw estate for exploring the Rhins of Galloway. Instructions and guide to lodge need updating, codes, and general stuff about the house. There is a microwave, so let people know. A few smaller pans would be a welcome addition to kitchen! Really built for max 3, second bedroom small for 2 people. A nice stay - especially the red squirrels, deer, woodpeckers, nuthatch and all the other birds, but especially the eve wing exodus of bats, great walks around the estate (again guide needs updating - there is a walled garden, but we were unable to get in)
Seascape Cottage
Another lovely break at seascape cottage Looking forward to coming back next year for our 6th stay
Charleston
We stay at Charleston every year, stunning location, relaxed, comfy accommodation. What's made a real difference is the rechargeable small mower unit that goes around cutting the grass, this has resolved the mushrooms situation that our dogs wanted to eat. Will be back next year as usual. Only negative, hardly any kitchen or bathroom cleaning spray, bought some as run out.
Upper Folds
4th different cottage with Wilderness and the pleasure remained the same. Superb cottage and great location if your seeking some peace. Thank you to the owner for such a great stay and facilities provided
Seal Skerry Lodge
We had a wonderful two week stay at Seal Skerry Lodge. The location is amazing with great views from every window. Our dog loved the secure garden and soon learned to live alongside the sheep. We found some super walks nearby and didn't venture that far afield. For two adults and a dog, this is a great place to stay.
Matheson's Croft House
The cottage is lovely, isolated and with beautiful views on the Loch from the garden, from the first floor and along the trail leading to the beach (starting on the back of the cottage, next to the fuel tank). Warm, well equipped, very clean. We had great fun cooking with the AGA kitchen. The garden was in full bloom with bluebells, azaleas and rhododendrons. We spotted roe deer in the garden and along the road leading to the cottage (be aware when driving along ). Highly recommended!
Learag
A wonderfully located cottage. Very clean and quiet. We had a great two weeks.
North Lodge
Lovely clean lodge excellent stay
Leachachan Cottage
Lovely cottage overlooking the Loch. Beautifully clean and presented. Lots of nice touches. Welcome chocolates, milk, tea and filter coffee. Much appreciated. Nice and warm. Great shower, comfy bed. Pine marten visits at night time if lucky. Top quality.
Fearnmore Church
The cottage was beautiful, the owners have looked after it well, and carefully thought about all the finishing touches to make it very homely. The views out from the cottage are stunning. The cottage was well stocked for all essentials for washing up, clothes washing, dishwashing, so I was very grateful for that. It exceeded expectations and the booking process was excellent. Looking forward to my next wilderness cottage booking !
Poulary Cottage
Unfortunately, this property is no longer with Wilderness Cottages.
Shellach Cottage
We really enjoyed staying at Shellach Cottage situated in a very beautiful part of Scotland. The cottage is well equipped and Lochcarron has good amenities.
Seahorses
Exceptional/amazing views from Seahorses. The house is very well equipped for everything you can think of & much more than you expect from a holiday rental. Very clean & if it's remoteness you are looking for you will be delighted with Seahorses. Highly recommended.
Tor Cottage
Tor Cottage is a wonderful place to stay while exploring Harris. It has everything you need, and the hosts are friendly and welcoming. We especially enjoyed the view and the female deer that walked outside the cottage almost every night.
Sealight
A house and location to dream of certainly five star from the interior and exterior will visit it again.
Cedar Cottage
We found this a delightful cottage located in a very peaceful forestry setting. The house was immaculate and there were some delightful wee touches ( hedgehog family ornaments in the porch, wee pigs on the mantle above the fire) which made it very homely and greatly appreciated the owner's thoughtfulness in leaving a bottle of very nice wine, chocolates, biscuits and milk. Also to leave peanuts and seeds to fill the numerous bird feeders was great as we were able to sit out on the patio right beside the feeders and watch the numerous birds, two little field mice and 2 squirrels take their snacks. Being able to have a choice of walks directly from the cottage was a delight for Willow our dog. We were visited by friends who were pleasantly amazed by the cottage and location querying how we had found it - thank you too Wilderness Cottages
Upper Folds
We had a beautiful stay at Upper Folds, Very well kept and modernised cottage with everything you need. The conservatory is fantastic for sitting and eating meals in surrounded by the view - even in bad weather! The road in does need a bit of ground clearance and in wet or icy weather 4x4 would be a must -but the reward in remoteness is worth it. had a play with my drone whilst there on one of the few not so windy days https://youtu.be/TUpVc6RTQFk?si=pCekONgg8iaoecm-
Swallow Byre
Unfortunately, this property is no longer with Wilderness Cottages.
Seal Skerry Lodge
Our first trip to Skye, and what a fantastic place to spend it. We did lots of sight seeing, but we would have been more than happy just sitting in the main room looking out of the window at that stunning view. Really didn't want to leave. A stunning home in a beautiful location. We hope to return again
Eilean Mor Cottage
We had a really excellent stay in Eilean Mor. It's quiet, clean, warm and comfortable with great views over the sea-inlet from the conservatory. We spent most evenings in there, making the most of the views. Appreciated the washing line and pegs to hang the swimming stuff there to dry. Very well equipped generally, though a wooden spoon would be useful and sponge scourers (we bought our own). Also a non-slip mat in the shower as I found it a bit slippery when wet and soapy. Apart from these minor and easily sorted things, it's a really great place to stay and we would love to come back.
Strone
I stayed in Strone at a lovely property managed by Wilderness Cottages, with three friends from London. We were only there for three nights but it was the most fantastic stay, with so many activities in easy driving distance - and the cottage was a perfect base, equipped with all the utensils and furnishings we could possibly want. We were even gifted a cake and a bottle of wine! The price was really competitive and the service was just above and beyond. Will definitely think of Wilderness Cottages if I visit this part of Scotland again.
Seahorses
Tremendous Holiday, Cottage was excellent, great views, very cosy and the welcome pack, the best ever. Even Bart our dog got a reward! The roads are difficulty, but we surprisingly adapted and got used to them rapidly. For first timers I would suggest the cottage is best approached via Lochinver, the blind summit the other way is literally blind. Lots of trips to do including one to Smoo Cave. Saw the longest Waterfall in UK by boat followed by excellent lunch in the bar at the Kylesku hotel. On the Downside the Wildlife seemed to have gone on vacation. Not impressed by the Drumbeg Hotel or the Smoo Bar
Poulary Cottage

South Lodge
What a wonderful place to be. Go here and experience the ultimate silence and remoteness???
South Lodge
Amazing place, peaceful, secluded, plenty of wildlife, well equiped and cosy house. Just be careful in your car on the lane upto the house as it is very uneven and potholey.
Eilean Mor Cottage
Lovely aspect, lovely Cottage , good Art on display and well equipped.
Hill Cottage
We spent a wonderful week at Hill Cottage which was in an idilic position overlooking wonderful views of loch Laxford. The cottage was very comfortable and peaceful and surrounded by stunning mountain scenery. There were several beautiful bays nearby to visit and great walks. A week wasn't nearly long enough.
Ceol na Mara
Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our week away. We started saying 'when we get home' when returning to Ceol Na Mara in Kishorn. Says it all. Every early morning view was different. Super-clean, well supplied, comfy. Don't block up the calendar, we want to return????
Campbell House
Lovely, cosy, comfortable house with stunning views in a quiet beautiful village. Everything catered for and very good value. Not a criticism as I'm sure it can be fixed but there is something wrong with the shower. We could only get cold or luke warm water so needs looking at before next guests arrive. Fortunately it didn't spoil our holiday as we had fantastic weather. Would thoroughly recommend this property
Wilderness Cottages Replied...
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and feedback on Campbell House. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay but sorry to hear about the issue with the shower. We have passed your feedback onto the owner and this will be looked into at the next changeover.
Plodda Falls Lodge

Log House
This was our 2nd visit - 15 years between the 2! Lovely cabin. Like others have said - a proper log cabin not a caravan with fake wooden cladding. No snow this time but still, the only log cabin in the Highlands we'd really want to go to. Very clean, well equipped and perfect area for exploring the Cairngorms, Loch Ness and the Nevis Range. Very romantic so perfect for Valentine's Day. (with 10-year-old son in tow!)
Seal Skerry Lodge
The house in a great position with fantastic views. There is much peace and tranquility due to the fact that the house is located on a little used road. The interior is modern and bright with the floor to ceiling windows maximising the views over the loch and out towards Harris. Everything we required was provided. However, we felt the suite needed to be upgraded and a mirror provided in the double bedroom as well as an extension lead for the hairdryer. The track up to the property badly needs graded to smooth out the bumps and dips that have developed. Also, this is the first property we have stayed in where a welcome pack was not provided.
Leachachan Cottage
A stunning , well presented cottage in a truly magnificent location. We have self-catered in Scotland during April for many years now, including several times in this area, but this property beats them all hands down! Well equipped, comfortable and warm, and the owners seem to have thought of everything. But the best feature is the incredible view. The nearly tame pine marten was a bonus and completely negates the need for a TV.
White-Tail Croft
A lovely cottage in a fabulous location - wild but close to amenities. White tail croft was very modern and clean and well equipped, and warm. A highlight was the huge window looking at at the scenery from Macleod's tables to the right to the Cullins on the left (south). The cottage is approached by a fairly rough minor road, but its not really a problem tbh and most of the potholes were repaired while we were there, it certainly shouldn't deter anyone from visiting. We would be very happy to visit this cottage again.

Seascape Cottage
Brilliant, had a marvelous time, enjoyed the walking, area, people especially the owners. Accommodation was immaculate, not a thing out of place, very comfortable and peaceful. Thanks to you all.
The Old Post Office
The Old Post Office has been attractively refurbished and is a very clean, comfortable, well-equipped house. From the living/dining room you look directly onto Clashnessie beach, beautiful at any time of day or night and regardless of the weather. The house is quiet and our bed (ground floor) was very comfortable. We enjoyed the log-burner some evenings and the house is generally warm and well-insulated. We love the local landscape and loved being back in this stunning part of Scotland. Our stay was very relaxing and enjoyable. It is our first experience of Wilderness Cottages and we found both Judith and Julie very helpful and friendly.
The Old Manse Barn
Unfortunately, this property is no longer with Wilderness Cottages.
Tor Cottage
This was a lucky booking after a last minute cancellation. So pleased we managed to spend a week here and would love to think it will be available in the future. It was perfect in every way and it will be extremely difficult to find something to match it. The setting is stunning and just a ideal distance from Tarbert. Everything inside is of a high quality and there is everything you need including lots of excellent reading material. John and Ruth made us feel very welcome.. we were very sorry to leave.
Ardbeg
Absolutely fantastic, chosen for a get together with our daughters and their partners and Sizzle the mini dachshund the space is perfect and the view amazing. From arrival to leaving no problems. The kitchen is well equipped for eating in or some great places to eat Gairloch. Highly recommend, a great holiday cottage. Thank you
South Lodge
We had a wonderfull stay in South Lodge. The house the exceptional view and absolute silence were overwhelming. We would say GOGOGO?????. From Holland it is not far so living in Brittain it is around the corner
Shore Cottage
3rd stay. Just love the location as do our mad collies. Very mixed weather...But still got a tan...???? Just wish the ' driveway' to it was in better condition.
Port Elgol Cottage
Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely cottage, we hope to return again.
Log House
Had a wonderful 2 weeks in a lovely log house. The only sad thing was the damage to the forest due to the storm in December. Loved every minute of our holiday and cant wait to come back in October.
Plodda Falls Lodge
Unfortunately, this property is no longer with Wilderness Cottages.
The Coltsfoots
Lovely cabin, just minutes from the village centre but feels like you are out in the countryside. Great situation if you have a dog as can get out onto forestry path/walks from the cabin. It was very clean, well equipped & warm. Gordon came to check everything was ok after we arrived & then a small problem midweek was swiftly resolved by him. Will return when holidaying in area again. Highly recommend this holiday accommodation.
Tor Cottage
Tor cottage is a top quality accommodation set in a wonderful location. Walking is our passion and Tor Cottage provides that warm welcoming return after a day in the hills whatever the weather. Wonderful hosts !
The Mill
The Mill is located on such a picturesque hill side view that offers the most amazing sunrises. The property itself is very spacious and comfortable with tasteful decor throughout. Cleaning standards are very high too, spotless throughout. Location of the property is just perfect for a drive to the coast or inland. We filled a full week with adventures locally and we will return. 10/10
