The payment for our stay was collected before our stay, which we knew about, what we didn't expect to arrive after a long drive to find no-one to let us in. …

Nice landlady, Clean room. Good bed and excellence breakfast. Rooms are only by stairs reachable. Not always an easy climb, depending of age. I missed a small table in the room to work on. All together nice stay though.

Cannot fault this guest house. Lovely spacious room, super hosts, and the breakfast was more than adequate. Handy car parking to the rear. As previously stated (stayed on a Friday night) the local youths feel they have to express themselves using the high street as a race track and car show. Absolutely nothing to do with the guest house would be the same with any location in Central Wick. Would most definitely recommend if your passing though on the NC500 👍

Had a very pleasant two night stay here for work/leisure. Room was large and comfy with everything you would expect. Good strong shower. Handy location in centre of Wick and close to other places for an evening meal. Good breakfast, and friendly and pleasant service. In style it's somewhere between a bed and breakfast and a hotel (i.e. you are being looked after by the owners who live there but it is very separate if that makes sense).Noticed a couple of reviews saying the location wasn't great. I can't really agree with that, it's grand, and if you wanted it to be in a more upmarket location then it might have to be not in Wick!

Perfect stop off point for the NC500. Breakfast in the morning was sublime! Alexander Bain was a nice easy pub meal and located 2/3 minutes away. Easy to find, free parking at the rear of the house and amenities nearby, Lidl etc for snacks etc!
