A good way to judge whether a property will be suitable for your self catering holiday is to see what previous guests had to say about their visit. They often provide a deeper insight into features and locations, often highlighting things that we are not aware of. We believe this can only be of benefit to our future visitors.
Time stood still and we found ourselves in heaven for two perfect weeks in the very best holiday home.
Lovely property, thank you to Julie and Judith at Wilderness, although our stay was delayed by a day due to weather conditions, both kept us updated and were extremely helpful.
Had a wonderful week in Poulary cottage. Clean , warm and very comfortable. Everything you need was provided to make out time perfect. The real fire was amazing as it snowed all week endless supply of firewood really kept us toasty. Walked every day from the door . Our 10 mth old puppy loved it. The wildlife was 2nd to none. Badgers , Pine martens and red deer in the garden every day and night. A full bird table and lots of other birds spotted aswell including W/T/S Eagles & Golden Eagles. Comfy sofas and loved the Aga. One of the best cottages weve stayed in Scotland.
We had a lovely week at the Orchids. We were very lucky with the weather and had dry and sunny weather for the best part of the week. We arrived in semi darkness and the cottage was easy to access and find lights etc. It was pleasantly warm, clean and tidy. The property was well equipped. It was spacious and well laid out. The next day revealed the magnificence of the view over Dunvegan Loch with Dunvegan Castle on the opposite shore and the islands between. Access is via the B884 from the . It is a single track road with passing places. While we were there there were a number of large potholes that made driving in the dark difficult. It is the main route to Glenvale and Neist Point so had a fair amount of traffic - even in November.
The fact that this was our 8th stay says it all. I feel totally relaxed as we reach the lower gate and the house comes into view. So much to see within the Highlands. Days spent just chilling in the conservatory. Always spotting the wildlife. Kites soaring above and deer all around. We've already booked for next Spring. Would be good to have tea/coffee and milk to grab a cuppa on arrival. However it's definitely not essential and Tesco deliver to the door. Here's to our next visit
A wonderful relaxing holiday in a fully equipped and well laid out cottage. Unrivalled views from the cottage and noiseless!
This place is just the best!!! Been before and it's beautiful - a log house that was built by 2 Canadian guys in the 1970's over several years. It is very well equipped with everything you would need. A perfect base away from the main centre of Fort Augustus but still only an easy 15 minute walk to get there. There are many mountain/river walks in the walkable area!!
We spent 2 weeks at the cottage in late October. The area and the cottage exceeded all of our expectations, and we hope to return someday.
Firstly the booking process through wilderness cottages is so easy and a very efficient helpful service from the person we dealt with! I would highly recommend Elderbank cottage. Perfect location on the coast road and so very peaceful! The cottage is warm and cosy and has everything you need to feel at home! The garden is amazing to explore and very unusual for the area, offering the cottage great protection from the weather! The surrounding area is truly unique with a plethora of places to visit!
Everything has already been written, but not by me... In this sense: The Learag is an exceptional accomodation whose equipment, cleanliness and cosiness leave nothing to be desired. The location is very quiet, and we enjoyed having breakfast on the terrace in the morning and ending the day there with a glass of wine in the evening. At the same time, the transport links are so good that you can reach a remarkably large part of the Highlands within an hour's drive. We really appreciated the many good tips from the extremely friendly owner about places of interest and walks, but in the one week of our stay we couldn't visit and see everything that was on our bucket list. We will thus definitely be back next year!
