Lovely overnight stop

We arrived in late and were still let check in and had a couple of lovely local whiskys in the bar. Breakfast the next morning was nice and simple and we were on our way. Perfect for a quick overnight stop.

The hotel appearance is consistent with the rest of the city. Wick is a bit dirty and industrial. However, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and food at the hotel was very good. We traveled to Wick for the coastline long hikes and that did not disappoint. The hikes were amazing and worth the effort to travel this far north.

The hotel is very convenient for the train station being just a short walk away. It was also convenient for the Wick Heritage Museum - a must for even the short term visitor. The hotel staff were very helpful, anticipating our needs. The room was very comfortable and the food tasty and substantial. Altogether a great place to stay.

Comfortable stay on a stormy night during Babet!

River view room brought it all home! Dined in bistro and enjoyed an excellent fish and chips and dry white wine. Friendly and charismatic owner was on hand. No parking but road outside pretty much for the hotel.
