When we arrived we found the staff welcoming and helpful, the room was fine, clean and ready for occupation. We were slightly dissappointed that there were no guest lounge and that it was obvious the lounge and other areas were in the process of renovation, but it did feel that the work had being going on for some time. We... more

This hotel was rebuilt a year ago....well part of it and therein lies the problem. It is very much work in progress. The rooms are great. The restaurant gives the impression of a guest lounge come bar come restaurant. If they could get the guest lounge sorted out it would be worth the money. I hope they do as everything... more

Having been disappointed by a hotel in Wick, we checked Trip Advisor for others and found this one. We were not disapointed!

If you book this expecting there to be real ale, you will be disappointed. It has been taken over and refurbished and now only serves the fizzy stuff. Apart from that, it is in a really nice rural location with great views over the sea / bay. It seems to have moved up market with it's refurbishment. Very friendly, foods... more
