Very comfortable, high standard of accommodation. Friendly staff, willing to provide whatever you wanted. Meals were of a very high quality and delicious! Cassie was an excellent trip leader, knowledgeable and informative without overloading with information. Very patient and handled the group dynamics well. The local rangers were also excellent and had great local knowledge on best places to spot wildlife.

Summary
During this exciting 6-day holiday we’ll explore the spectacular Alladale Wilderness Reserve, a 23,000-acre utopia located in the Scottish Highlands just an hour’s drive from Inverness. During the course of our holiday we'll explore the plethora of dramatic glens, vibrant hills, glistening rivers and hill lochs in search of the area's superb native wildlife. One of the key highlights of this holiday will undoubtedly be the remarkable Red Deer Rut, and the timing of our tour has been planned to coincide with the best time to witness this exhilarating spectacle. On one of our days we will take a trip to nearby Loch Fleet where we hope to encounter Otter, Common Seals and possibly Crested Tit, Scottish Crossbill and an array of waders. As well as enjoying all of the fascinating wildlife, this holiday will also offer a unique opportunity to learn about the management of this wild and truly remote wilderness and the ongoing rewildling work that is taking place here. Our group will take sole occupancy of the reserve's opulent Victorian Manor and talented chefs will prepare high-quality meals from local, organic produce.
