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.
Truly an exceptional property to stay in. The location is beautiful with incredible views and an abundance of wild life including daily visits from a small herd of red deer. The property itself is very comfortable, warm, clean and so well equipped for household and outdoor interests. A thoughtful welcome basket of quality local produce was provided and much appreciated. Our second visit and we would happily return. Brilliant - Thank you!
We have booked our holidays for the last six years with wilderness cottages the service and care have always been five stars with have already booked with them for 2027. Sealight is delightful house this was our fifth stay and it still seems as magical as our first visit.
This was the most wonderful cottage. Highly recommend. Amazing views, comfortable clean and modern house. We look forward to a return visit!
We had a really wonderful week in Leachachan Cottage. The cottage itself is beautifully situated, and in about 20 years of renting holiday cottages in Scotland, we thought it was the best in terms of general quality. It's been renovated beautifully, and we really enjoyed seeing photos of the transformation being carried out. It's very well equipped - it had everything we needed for our stay (including sharp knives which made a pleasant change!). We went kayaking from the shore and my husband did some fishing. And there are some lovely walks right from the doorstep. But the most magical thing was the wildlife. We had Pine Martens and badgers visiting every night, we saw an otter and seals in the bay and a White Tailed Eagle fishing not that far from the house. We could also hear stags roaring as the rut had started. The fish farm was closer to the house than we'd expected but we didn't notice it much once we were settled in and enjoying everything the cottage and area had to offer. We will return!
A wonderful cottage in a beautiful location, full of wildlife and stunning views.
Another great stay at The Granary . Can't fault the place and Mairi , the proprietor, is more than accommodating if you have a problem or need to know anything. Spotlessly clean everywhere with exceptionally comfortable beds. Lovely very quiet central location. Ideal, can't wait to book another visit
The location is fantastic, set above a very quiet beach. The house was well equipped and spotlessly clean, even underneath the beds. It is an old building with it's own quirks and creaky floorboards, and there is only one bathroom, which may be an issue for larger groups. The fridge although clean, was missing a few shelves and some of the windows wouldn't open. A little bit of repair/refurbishment is needed in places e.g. broken curtain pole and splitting the bathroom to get an extra toilet would be great. Having said all that, we had a lovely time in Stoer Lodge.

Thank you for your feedback on your stay at Stoer Lodge. The owners are closing Stoer Lodge for renovations from the end of October 2026 - March 2027 and will be replacing the kitchen and all windows in the living room, with remodelling to include 2 new sea facing picture windows in the living room.
We enjoyed our week in this cosy cottage, it is in a lovely location with fabulous views. We loved watched the sunset through the windows. It was clean and warm and had everything we needed. The owner was available if we had any questions.
We stayed at Lewies Croft for nine days at the end of September, and it was a magnificent trip. The home sits at the tip of a peninsula in northwest Scotland. The best way to do Lewies is without time constraints and knowing you're on a road trip that rivals anything in the world. Lewies is in the town of Cove, bordered by Loch Ewe and the Minch, the stretch of sea between the mainland and the Hebrides. It's wonderfully remote. The house itself is stylish and well built, and it makes a perfect base for day trips across the Northern Highlands. Every drive led somewhere breathtaking. Our favorites, Castle Leod, seat of the Clan Mackenzie, with a private tour. A must for anyone who loves Highland history. Pool House and Inverewe Garden in Poolewe, just 8 miles away. The Arctic Convoy history and the gardens on Loch Ewe make an easy, rewarding day. The Applecross peninsula via the Bealach na Ba, one of the most dramatic drives in Scotland, returning along the quiet coast road. Eilean Donan Castle, best late in the day after the tour buses leave. Ullapool, with dinner at The Dipping Lugger, a tiny and unforgettable dining room. Corrieshalloch Gorge, where a suspension bridge hangs over the Falls of Measach. Dining around Loch Torridon and Gairloch, including 1887 at The Torridon, a three-rosette restaurant in a Victorian shooting lodge beneath the mountains, plus Shieldaig Lodge and The Badachro Inn. We had an amazing hike to the Bone Caves. We got back to the car as the sun was setting, and we saw two large groups of Red Deer, with stags roaring in the rut, on the drive back to Lewies. The house has several bedrooms, but my wife and I had it to ourselves and it was ideal for two. It was stocked with everything we needed, so all we had to bring was groceries. I'm already wishing we were back for another romantic evening in front of the fireplace. Highly recommend.
Croft Cabin is a little beauty! It manages to tick so many boxes. The decor is contemporary and fresh, the kitchen is really well kitted out, the place is spotless, the views to the hills and the duck pond are lovely, it is peaceful and the owner is very welcoming. Great location if you enjoy walking in the countryside as there's plenty of options from the doorstep. It is also a very short walk to the amenities in Fort Augustus. Would highly recommend!
