Tranquility in the forest

Great sized accommodation with plenty of space and storage. Excellent location with a forest literally on its doorstep and with Fort Augustus & Loch Ness only a couple of km away. Peace and tranquility guaranteed.

Fabulous location and spacious property, comfy beds, well equipped .

Would stay again. Could do with a deep clean though . Was very dog smelly when we arrived, bench outside can’t be sat on as dangerous so no where to sit.

Christmas stay

Lovely quiet position, clean and comfortable accommodation. Christmas decorations were put up for us and lots of welcome goodies. A disappointment only came as we arrived at 13:00 as we had been advised we were welcome after 12:00 as a special arrangement but unfortunately the house keeper was unaware of this . Also the inability to watch bbc and itv was a shame and we had to use our lap tops to watch normal tv which I do understand but not everyone may be equipped . Obviously we were on a nature holiday as it were but in the winter with dogs your evening entertainment is limited . But I would definitely recommend as a beautiful, clean and well equipped place to stay.

Perfect

What a wonderful lodge ... everything you need home from home. Perfect location for our trips ie climbing Ben Nevis. Very spacious with the added bonus of the boot room so all the muddy walking gear can be contained to one space. The views are stunning with woodland walks on the doorstep. Highly recommend

Charming home away from home

We really loved our stay here. Very easy access to the house when we arrived, and the location was just perfect for most of the things we wanted to see. We also loved the facilities in the house. I will definitely recommend others to stay here for a nice holiday in the highlands!

Wildwood family holiday

The house is spacious and in a lovely location just outside Fort Augustus. Plenty of room for 7 people and well equipt. Great for dog owners! (But could do with a bit of TLC). Great walks staight out of the door and a good starting point for trips out to the surrounding area, Inverness or Skye only1 hour away. Would recommend this property to families with dogs! L&M

Lovely Stay Here

We had a great stay here, the cabin itself was lovely and quiet. The beds were comfortable and the living areas are great for watching the birds. The cabin could do with some TLC (some wobbly door handles and finicky taps) and maybe a deep clean to get rid of webs and dust balls but that certainly wouldn’t stop me from visiting again. It’s also a good location to use as a base if you want to explore lots of areas of the Highlands. We visited Fort William, Inverness, Glenfinnan and even got to visit the Isle of Skye however that’s a longer journey. Great overall and we’ll look forward to visiting again, Thankyou!

We recommend this lodge as we had a brilliant time. The lodge was lovely and clean it had everything you would want. It's got a lovely view as you look out the windows . We took our dogs and they enjoyed the walks though the forest as we did to . Fort Augustus is a great place. The people are very friendly. Lovelys walks along the canal. Would definitely go back again.

Houten huis aan bosrand en rustige weg

Rustig gelegen houten huis aan de rand van bos. Mooi uitzicht op de bosrand vanuit het raam. Zeer rustige toegangsweg achterlangs. Voor wandelliefhebbers is vanuit het huis een prachtige wandeling te maken door bos en langs rivier Oich en het huis ligt op loopafstand van een etappe van de Great Glenway. Vanuit vakantiewoning zijn Glencoe, Skye, Culloden en het prachtige Schotse landschap met de auto (ruim een uur) goed bereikbaar. Fort Augustus leek vooral gericht op mainstream toerisme. In oktober is het ‘s avonds nagenoeg uitgestorven. Loch Ness is en blijft prachtig. Wij verbleven in Wildwood in de herfst en vonden de woning (bij aankomst) erg koud. Eerste avond kwam er ook geen warm water uit de kraan. Informatie in de woning was daar niet duidelijk over. Navraag bij eigenaar was duidelijk. De inrichting van het huis is basis. Ook benodigdheden zoals vaatwastabletten, koffie (geen koffieapparaat) thee en vuilniszakken zijn afgemeten of niet aanwezig dus houdt daar rekening mee. Afgezien daarvan zijn we dankbaar dat we hebben kunnen genieten van een weekje verblijf in Wildwood houten huis in het bos in dit bijzonder mooie land.

Sehr schönes geräumiges Holzhaus in ruhiger Umgebung

Sehr ruhig am Waldrand gelegenes Holzhaus. Man bekommt die vielen Touristen unten im Ort nicht mit. Diesen erreicht man in einem gemütlichen Spaziergang in 20 Minuten. Vom Haus aus kann direkt auf die Wanderwege gestartet werden. Mit genügend Vogelfutter können auch die kleinen Waldbewohner den ganzen Tag sehr nah beobachtet werden. Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt im Haus.

Pure relaxation in the middle of nature

The property is on the edge of Fort Augustus, surrounded by trees. You can be in town in a few minutes by car. The house was our starting point to explore Scotland. The location is perfect, right in the heart of the Highlands. The house is rustic and integrates wonderfully into nature. The living room with fireplace on the first floor was our meeting place every evening to evaluate the day and plan the next day. We didn't have much contact with the owner as everything was settled and there were no further questions, but the times that we had contact the replies were always quick, helpful and friendly. We would definitely book the house again if we make another trip to the Highlands.

Wildwood war ein super Ausgangspunkt für uns um die Gegend um Loch Ness im Norden und bis Loch Lochy im Süden zu erkunden.
