Our holiday apartments offer dog-friendly accommodation. Plus we’re a dog-friendly hotel and restaurant too (in our public areas and dining in the bar), so you don’t need to leave anyone behind! Join our friendly resident dogs Max and Bria as they lounge around the bar area or welcome you at the lobby. Your dogs are very welcome here and we have accommodation that you can all feel comfortable in together.

North Coast 500
Mackays Hotel makes a perfect stopover for anyone undertaking the beautiful North Coast 500 drive. This route takes in the best of the highlands, from Inverness up through Wick and along the north coast before heading south. It’s a great experience, taking you to places you might never have explored otherwise. Rest up with us here and enjoy the gorgeous town of Wick.
Whenever we are up here, there’s only one hotel that we stay in! Murray, and his team, always make every guest feel so at home. The rooms are cosy, hotel well situated, by the river, and the restaurant and bar are fab. Excellent food and a great selection of drinks. Even with the covid restrictions, our stay was still lovely and we will definitely be back!
Family Research & Genealogy
Find out about your family history
Many people come to Wick in order to research their family origins. Millions of people can trace their ancestors back to Scotland, and many of those here to Caithness.
It’s a fascinating and addictive hobby, and it’s one we love helping people with. We can help put you in touch with a local genealogist, as well as help get you access to Wick’s local library. We’ve also been running the hotel for 60 years, so if it’s insider knowledge about the area you are after, speak to us when you stay!
Whatever you are looking for in a Wick hotel – comfortable rooms, delicious food, helpful staff – you’ll find it here at Mackays. Book your stay today and start planning for your Highland adventure!
