We stayed three nights in the Mac Arthur and enjoyed every minute. The rooms are big and clean and furnished to a good standard. It's in a quiet location but not too far from the center of Wick. A basic breakfast is provided and proved to be more than ample. We stayed in room 2 which has a very good bathroom with both a shower and bath within. Overall I would certainly recommend this accommodation and when we visit Wick again we will be staying in the MacArthur.

Spent two weeks touring Scotland and this was the best B+B of them all. Stuart was very welcoming, the room and en-suite were big, spotless and comfortable and the breakfast next morning was just incredible. If you're ever in Wick don't even think of staying elsewhere.
