House by the Harbour - NC500 Route

Great little house, that wasn’t that little! Couldn’t fault the facilities, everything we needed was there. We loved the view over the harbour to the sea. Even though it is a working harbour, there is something about looking out over water!

This was a very good valued property, so I’m conscious that you don’t get anything for nothing. The place was spotless, but you cannot get away from the fact that it hasn’t been decorated in an awful long time. This did not detract from our stay here, but we have stayed in better decorated places, albeit at a higher price. Question is, would I come back here and without doubt, yes.

Location, Location, Location, absolutely marvelous location and with stunning sunrise too. Superb coastal walk just 5mins from the house and only 10mins walk into town. The House itself is over three levels and has a lovely homely feel to it. Two living areas is superb with the kids chillin downstairs as we chilled upstairs watching fishing boats coming and going into Wick Harbour. Some essentials for arrival like tea bags and coffee was a nice touch and the house was warm and cosy for an evening arrival in winter. Will definitely be back.

Not a thing

The views in particular were to our taste, the furnishings, the colours, and all the equipment was perfect, even climbing both sets of stairs was a joy as the clear windows gave us a change of view. The perfect little room at the top was where you could sit to relax.

Unfortunately the TV in one bedroom was not working; normally I would not think of using a TV in a bedroom but it would have been ideal to watch a programme I was following.

Location was great. Short walk from the train station. Even shorter walk to the centeal area. Heating was already on. Good selection of DVD's in the Loumge. Telly's in every room with freeview. Plenty books to read & a couple of board games. All good. Property lacked nothing i needed for a short stay.

The shower, whilst plenty power, i could only get to warm. Looked like the sliding comnector was loose also. That's all !

This house is huge, spread out over three stories with ample space and everything you could wish for! Two double bedrooms on the second floor, a bathroom and lounge (with massive bay window to soak up the view) on the first floor then a large kitchen, diner and lounge on the ground floor! Excellent location, ample parking outside, short walk into the high street. Perfect stop over during our nc500 tour! Will definitely be back!

Nothing - all very positive

Absolutely LOVED the views and the place itself....shower wasn't very hot tho :( and really wanted a hot shower after being on the road so long....otherwise the owner was right there for questions and the place was in an amazing location at the harbor...had everything needed to have a comfortable stay...I would stay again...HIGHLY recommend ....the owner was helpful with everything

Shower was lukewarm :(

Overall, we found this property absolutely ideal and would have no hesitation in returning, hopefully for a slightly longer stay and explore the area some more. A little tricky to find as there were some roadworks going on locally at the time of our visit, which threw the Satnav off but we got there. Parked right outside with no restrictions or charge Kitchen is fully equipped with everything with a nice sized diner/lounge, with sea / harbour view adjoining - nice selection of local history books too. Second lounge and bathroom upstairs on 1st floor with TV/DVD and a good selection on films, again a good view across the harbour and out to sea with comfy sofas to boot. Upstairs to 2nd floor takes you the bedrooms - spacious with one having a great sea view. Wished we were staying longer. The working harbour and quayside is quite literally on your doorstep.

I think a railing across the two open window frames on the stairs would be a safety improvement, especially when carrying things up and down the stairs. Shower itself is great but cubicle is small so perhaps not ideal for larger peeps. Few bits of decor need attending to but I'd be sure this will get sorted over the winter.

this property is a beautiful town house right by the harbour. the scenery is great and perfect sea views The house has a kitchen/dining room on ground floor with everything you need including a cooker, fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle. first floor has a very spacious lounge with very comfortable sofas and a TV, very large bathroom with a bath and separate shower. on the top floor are two double bedrooms and a little box room with a full length mirror and hairdryer. There is also an iron and ironing board available to use. This was a perfect house and if I’m ever back in sick again I’d be looking to book this property again

honestly, there was nothing not to like. Was amazing

This is a 3-storey town house overlooking the harbour in Wick, which is modern and well-equipped, although retaining many period features which make it an attractive house. The main bedroom and upstairs sitting room in particular are very generous sizes, and comfortable, and the main bedroom has a very large and comfortable bed. Kerbside parking was no problem right outside the door. Just be aware that the house is located on quite a steep hill, and has a step up at the front door, as well as being on three floors - so maybe think twice if you have any mobility issues - otherwise, for a central location in Wick, you won't do better.

Some blackout blinds/curtains in the front (East facing) bedroom would be nice - sunrise is really early in June! Apart from that, everything was great.

This property is a gem Three floors and easy to park outside Top floor has two large double bedrooms, both with TVs Middle floor bathroom, which obviously has a toilet, a superb powerful shower and a bath, It also has a decent sized lounge with TV Ground floor another lounge with another TV and a well fitted out kitchen The carpeting is deep and the whole place looks immaculate The next time I am in Wick there will be no need to hunt round to find somewhere to stay, this place is perfect

Nothing, it could not have been better
