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.
Very caring service when we arrived there was a power cuts but wilderness contacted us to check that we were safe and offered assistance. Wilderness are a very customer focused from booking your reservation to arriving. would have no hesitation in recommending Wilderness Cottages already booked for 2026 .
Watched 2 badgers playing in the garden last night, from around 9pm. Scatter some peanuts if you would like to see them.
A fantastic location in a fantastic cabin. Everything was perfect and the owners were great. Highly recommended.
Ardbeg is a fantastic place to stay, it has all the amenities you could wish for. Peace and tranquility were to the forefront, but with all modern appliances. Lots of wildlife, pine martens visiting, deer on the lawn. Lots of walks and interesting and fun things to do 8n the area. Last but not least, the views from the balcony are stunning, and as it faces west, you will never see better sunsets.
The Old Post Office was an amazing and lovely house to stay at. You can sit and watch the view to the beach all day. The house was spotlessly clean and had all facilities you needed for your visit. We arrived at the start of 'Storm Amy' which was exciting but you felt safe and warm in the house. The scenery in the area is spectacular. We really didn't want to leave!
We have just returned home from our stay at this really super cottage in a delightful location. I don't think we have ever stayed anywhere where so much was provided in the weekly package. A genuine thank you in appreciation to the owners. Watching the boats, from small to really huge(ocean going size) pass through the lock is mesmerising. After storm Amy our arrival was delayed by a day as the cottage was without water or electricity but our thanks to cleaning staff as it was spic and span on our arrival although the cottage phone and Wifi was unavailable and still off when we left today although didn't cause a problem to us. We really rate wilderness cottage staff and would also rate them 5*. Thanks
Very comfortable and well-appointed cottage in a quiet but easily accessible location. Thank you to Mairi for being a very friendly and helpful host, as well as for the treats on our arrival.
Well, what the other reviews say is entirely true. This is a wonderfully decorated cottage in a unique and stunning location. Driving in the first time is astonishing. The owner is also very helpful and generous which is an additional delight. We loved it
We had a wonderful week's stay at the Earth House. We arrived just before Storm Amy and had a front row view of the stormy seas over the weekend - just amazing. The location is absolutely brilliant for bird watching and we were also lucky enough to see otters fishing on a couple of days. The Earth House itself is very special place & such a thoughtful design; we absolutely loved staying there. One of us is a wheelchair user and the house being all on one level made our stay very easy. We ordered supplies from the very helpful Laide Stores and enjoyed the fresh fish van that comes in a Tuesday. Did I mention the awesome views across Gruinard Bay?! With the ever changing light & stunning scenery it is an artists paradise. We have already booked another week for next year.
Wilderness Cottages were great to deal with! We were coming over from the US to Scotland for the first time, and on a whim decided to book with Wilderness. Found the PERFECT place in Fort Augustus, and all the directions and communications from Wilderness were spot on. I even had a bit of trouble using their links to make payment and they were able to help me with that. I hope to book with them again in the near future.
