This is easily the best hotel in the highlands! Clean rooms, kind and helpful staff and maybe the best breakfast I’ve ever had! I wouldn’t stay anywhere else. Jon

We stayed here for one night on an NC500 trip. There is plenty of on street parking and the staff were very friendly. The room was comfortable, the breakfast tasty and dinner delicious. It's a great location too! David

Did You Know We Live on The World’s Shortest Street?

Caithnessians are noted for their tenacity, but we take our hats off to Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief of the Guinness Book of World Records. Craig battled through gale force winds and storms to get to our hotel in Wick. After 50 hours, with many detours, he arrived in Wick and declared a new world record an hour later!
