10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Nov 2025
Where to start? Location: Absolutely stunning area, located in a Scot’s pine forest with walks to the river Oich and better still in the mountain behind including one of the old military roads.Fort Augustus is a 5 minute drive, or 25 minute walk if you want to enjoy the pubs.With our 2 dogs this meant we could walk each morning and then chill in the afternoon. I use the Komoot hiking app so we found ourselves in secluded woods and areas each day.Travelling from our home in the Lake District, I’m lucky to have stunning scenery, but this location is like the Lakes on steroids,Accommodation: I honestly cannot praise Wildwood enough. With just the 2 of us and our dogs it was a shame not to have other people there to see it. It’s beautiful. The furnishing, layout, facilities are the best I’ve experienced across the highlands. And I’ve been going yearly before my father got MND for 25 years. Isle of Skye, Roybridge, Fort William etc.Wildwood beat them all hands down.Communication & Interaction: Ray was brilliant from start to finish, gave me great guidance & welcome guides, and was so quick at helping when (by my own fault) I struggled to get hot water. Went above and beyond.Cleanliness: The housekeeper was there when we arrived (again our fault as we arrived early) and was brilliant, she was so thorough and helpful, again going above and beyond.Overall: Immediately looked to book to return for New Year but unsurprisingly it’s already in use! Back Soon!

Our whole family absolutely loved our stay at Wildwood. It is in a great location, in a quiet forest, but within easy walking distance of Fort Augustus. We hope to return.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
Overall the property was a great base for touring where we wanted to go. It’s in a peaceful location with great walks nearby yet close to Fort Augustus with all the amenities there. We greatly enjoyed our time there.
5.0 / 10.0·Sep 2020
Lovely log cabin style house just off a minor country road surrounded by woodland. Short drive into Fort Augustus and to surrounding attractions.Lovely house, warm and light. Really nicely done and looked after. Small outdoor seating area with picnic bench which we were lucky enough with the weather to use a lot (22 degrees in September!). Easy access to lots of local woodland walks, along the riverside and nearby hills.Went for tea in Inch Hotel in Fort Augustus (highly recommend) and walked back which took 30 mins though a torch needed.Comfy beds and well-equipped kitchen - good boot room/utility room for sorting yourselves out.Spiral staircase requires keeping a close eye on small children but not an issue.Very pet friendly - we had our 2 cats and mum-in-law's dog.Would happily stay again and highly recommend Ray and Laura as hosts.Many thanks.
