Breakfast
Tired
Property was barely even surface clean. Heater in corridor had the biggest layer of dust I have ever seen. The handle on the knife had split in various places and looked like it was from 1912. Cutlery and cups dirty.
Bedding and towels were clean. Breakfast was good and served well. Nice staff.
Not very clean. Bad, smoky smell throughout. Needs a big refurbishment. Looks better in photos on here than real life. Wouldn’t stay again.
Location was great close to everything.
A nice quiet location right on the harbour in Wick, easy to find and breakfast delivered to your room in the morning.
Noisy seagulls outside my window early in the morning,
Well equipped with all you need.They provide table and chairs as they have no dining room and breakfast is brought to your room.Lovely selection of biscuits and a smart coffee maker.Room overlooking the harbour.The owners were friendly and helpful.
The bedding was unironed so looked messy.The bathroom fan goes on every time you go in and stays on for several minutes after and is quite noisy.And the bathroom really needs a deep clean most especially the shower.
everything,room,food and hosts😊
nothing it was great all round😊
Het ontbijt was oké - moet wel zelf koffie zetten - klein tafeltje om aan te eten
Is pure huisjesmelkerij - schimmel in badkamer - ingang was slordige puinhoop - kamer dateert uit vorige eeuw en is klein - smoezelig gevoel - 99 pond niet waard
El trato del personal, Virginia es encantadora..
Warm welcome! Breakfast was superb!
Aparte badkamer.
Good sized room and dog friendly. Lovely people and good breakfast. Other guests were quiet and considerate and we were very comfortable. Excellent coffee facilities in the room too.
N/a
Had one of the double rooms. Lovely and comfortable. A nice wee table to have my breakfast at in the morning. The breakfast was lovely. You pick your breakfast options the night before of and the time you would like it delivered to your room. Was delivered bang on time! Kettle and a coffee machine in the room which is great. Also a great selection of biscuits.
Read a lot of comments to say things about the B&B in terms of it being tired and old and the shower not great. My shower was absolutely fine, good pressure, lovely and hot. Yes the place is a little 'tired' but the rooms are clean and tidy and for an overnight stay in Wick it was just fine. Would I stay again, yes I would.
The view from the window. The owners made an effort to go through everything when you arrived.
The place smells of stale cigarette smoke when you walk in, reception area and stairs are all cluttered and could do with a good clean and hoover. Invoices with personal details are left on the unmanned desk. The single room has a bathroom across the hall which i hadn't realised from the details and although the room had been hoovered and thankfully didn't smell of smoke, the bathroom was not clean as the bath, toilet and floor all looked dirty. This property was inspected earlier in the year for food hygiene and i don't think any improvements have been attempted, to the point i almost didn't stay the second night but instead just refused breakfast for my second morning. I wouldn't stay here again.
Grande chambre, très bon petit déjeuner, personnel accueillant et très gentil. Proche du centre de la ville et des restaurants. Excellent rapport qualité/prix. Stationnement facile pour la voiture.
My stay was excellent. Received help with my suitcase and a plug I had forgotten. Breakfast was very punctual and very good quality. Shower powerful, good coffee machine and very good quality biscuits.
Cannot think of anything that could be better
Pleasant comfortable B&B. Owners were helpful.
While the property is located on the waterfront I came to Wick by train and left the same way. It’s a bit of a walk with a suitcase from the station to the stay.
There is an amazing view from the room and staff were welcoming and friendly.
The guest house is very old and worn and could be cleaner. I was concerned that they didn't honour the quote that I signed up for with booking.com. They said I didn't book in 2 adults only 1 so they charged me 25 pounds more. My printed and on-line booking said 2 adults, I thought this was unfair.
L'accueil et la petit déjeuner servi dans la chambre
Les draps n'avaient pas été changés, il y avait des miettes dans le lit et des tâches sur la house de couette. Douche sale et évacuation à moitié bouchée, lavabo sale...
I got upgraded to a comfortable three-bed-room, a great bonus after a day's ride in the rain, allowing me to dry my soaked clothes. The landlady was very welcoming, she heated and served my supper, which I had brought along and the breakfast in the morning was gigantic, a full english breakfast, plus porridge, coffee, tea. The location is overlooking the harbour. I could park the motorcycle right in front of the entrance.
Everything was fine.
Très bon emplacement, accueil sympathique
The location is nice just over the harbour. Nice breakfast
Dirty, small spaces. Not recommended
It all went well, breakfast was excellent. Showers are very good. Was given extra information about the area, things to do and to see. Had a very good time.
I cannot think of anyting wrong.
Large room with a wonderful view over the harbour. Excellent breakfast served to room promptly at time requested. Table in the window to enjoy the view
Cleaning regime
Nothing
The place was absolutely filthy. So much so for our health's sake we had to leave and book different accommodation.
Everything excellent service
Nothing
The owner was friendly & it fitted the bill of where to stay for one night.
Guest house was very tired, unclean in places, the reception area full of wires and a stiff front door at first unable to get out of. Mish mash of decor, stains on the tray for cups, cobwebs, bathroom bin unemptied. Just uncomfortablr for £90. Breakfast brought to room.
Personnel accueillant, bonne situation près du port, possibilité de se garer dans la rue devant l’entrée.
Petit déjeuner servi dans la chambre, pas le choix. Beaucoup de poussière partout dans les coins et les zones non utilisées régulièrement (sucrier, miroir, télévision, entrée de l’immeuble, escalier)
Good location.
Fan in bathroom forever going.
Location
It was tired, dirty & poorly maintained.. Expectations and standards have risen considerably in the last 30 years and, though no doubt well intentioned, the place was tired, jaded and dirty.
Okay. Food delivered to room at time requested. Was over cooked
Bathroom needs as good clean. Shower difficult to manage great location.
Comfortable Stay and Good Bed
Cooked Breakfast over cooked
DE gastheer was een prima mens, vertelde leuk where to go en serveerde s morgens een heerlijk keurig ontbyt. wy voelde ons als motorryders prima thuis
niets ruige plek aan de haven alles op loopafstand
Not much
The climb up to the bedrooms! The awful stench of smoke. The breakfast. The massive step up into the bathroom.
Sehr bequeme Betten und geräumiges Zimmer. Freundliche Gastgeber. Tolle Lage am Hafen.
überall Schmutz, Kaffeemaschine dreckig, Dusche dreckig genauso der Wagen auf dem das Frühstück aufs Zimmer gebracht wird.
Das Frühstück wurde direkt ins Zimmer gebracht, zu der von mir gewünschten Zeit
Wij verbleven hier op 7 juni 2026. Na het lezen van de reviews hadden we weinig verwachtingen, maar door de positieve reacties op Google en Booking.com hoopten we dat het mee zou vallen. Wij zijn absoluut niet veeleisend voor een overnachting van één nacht, maar dit was zonder twijfel het slechtste verblijf dat wij ooit hebben gehad. Voor alle Nederlanders die deze review tegenkomen: kijk verder. Geef die paar tientjes extra uit voor een schoner en beter verblijf, of sla dit dorp gewoon over. De kamer was helaas erg vies: haren in de douche, schimmel, tandpastavlekken op de spiegel en nog meer waar we niet eens over willen beginnen. Ook de keuze aan restaurants is zeer beperkt. Wij aten bij Riverhouse omdat dit het enige was dat open was. Achteraf hadden we beter zelf iets bij Tesco kunnen halen. Ons advies: rij door en overnacht ergens anders.
Location and lovely hosts
N/A
De B&B wordt gerund door een ouder echtpaar (al 20 jaar). Het uitzicht op de haven van Wick is leuk. Het ontbijt was prima (geserveerd op de kamer met een trolley ! )
De hygiene liet veel te wensen over ! Alles voorzien van een laag stof , smerige badkamer, smoezelige bedden, de watertank van het koffieapparaat was al een tijd niet schoongemaakt. Onze conclusie, de B&B vonden we eigenlijk in het beeld passen van het stadje.....de tijd heeft er stilgestaan !
The only positive thing was the view.
Entrance hall and stairs dirty needed a good hoover. Bedroom had dirty sheets wasn't clean. Bathroom filthy, rusty, mouldy,needs complete overhaul I wouldn't eat breakfast as everywhere felt dirty We booked 2 nights, stayed the one and went elsewhere. Would not recommend or go back
Hosts were really friendly and helpful, showed us directions into town and recommended places to eat. Breakfast was good, view from the room was lovely.
Some of the property seemed to be under renovation which made it feel a little untidy.
Breakfast was outstanding. Room was spacious and clean. View of the water.
Had to go up 3 flights to the room.
Vriendelijk ontvangst en service van ontbijt op kamer.
Ik had gezocht op "parkeren" ivm reizen met de motor. Helaas was dat gewoon op straat
Très bon BnB.... Propriétaires extrêmement sympathiques, super emplacement face au port. Chambre grande, confortable et calme. Le petit déjeuner servi en chambre est bon et de qualité. Un endroit vraiment agréable pour séjourner à Wick.
Rien
Second visit and I was upgraded to an ensuite room for free. Loved the place! Comfy bed, very generous selection of tea, coffee and biscuits and great breakfast that catered for veggies. The view from the bedroom was over the harbour. Staff very friendly and all for an amazing £52! Thank you.
Nothing
Could not fault clean big room . Nice view over harbour.
Nothing
Owners friendly
Room wasn't clean enough. Drains in the bathroom had a very bad smell.
Not clean and both developed food poisoning
The owner was freindly
The house looked very run down not very clean however towels were clean so glad it was only one night
The hosts were exceptional
Room looking a little tired
The man was very friendly and chatty. Breakfast was plentiful.
Friendly check in - great breakfast
Walls are quite thin so our dog could hear people moving in the hall till after midnight which made him bark - and probably disturbed other guests as well 🙈
Comfortable bed good breakfast
Concerned about fire safety- Trailing wires on single escape route and locked bedroom window?
Friendly. Comfortable bed
Could have been cleaner overall. Room was ok but stairs and entrance hall grubby. Looked abit unloved, in need of a spruce up and tlc
Friendly, good location,
Comfy bed and decent breakfast
A bit grubby especially the bathroom
Was helped all the way, need some help because of age. Perfect stay.
The beds were really comfy and the breakfast was hit and tasty. The hosts were friendly & helpful.
Overall the B&B was dirty in some places (stairs) and tired in its overall appearance, which wasn't very welcoming.
Convenient location great views from room.
Up two flights of stairs to the room
Reasonably priced and good location - although more than noise given it is right by the harbour. Breakfast was generous and excellent.
The initial entry set a bad impression and there was a smell of cigarette smoke but not in our accommodation.
Absolutely nothing
Everything. Disgusting. Filthy. Mould in bathroom. Extractor fan squealed. Just generally dirty. Front door looks like it's been rammed by the police. Breakfast awful. Didn't eat it. Absolutely stinks of cigarette smoke. Owners were smoking in the hotel and it reeks. Thought it was illegal to smoke in an establishment now?!!
Tolle Lage am Hafen
Die Lage.
Die 2 Zimmer die wir belegt hatten waren beide sehr schmutzig. Das Fenster ließ sich nicht öffnen.
Goede ligging, ruime kamer
Comfy ish bed.
Very very dirty,from top to bottom,dust and cobwebs on wardrobe,lights, door frames,skirtings. Poorly decorated, the bathroom sink and toilet was clean however the shower cubicle had mold and grime all around the edges, and the sealant, bathroom floor had paint and all sorts of other dirt on it, there is definitely no attention to cleanliness or detail, the whole place smelt of cigarette and grease. We was worried about breakfast, and food was ok however didn’t wanna eat much as the trolly it arrived on was very dirty, lesson is basic cleaning and hygiene would benefit this b@b
Good parking, view of harbour, tasty breakfast
Room on the chilly side, failed LED reading lamp, for us the 2 flights of narrow stairs were a challenge
The rooms were warm and beds comfortable. The biscuits were plentiful and tasty. The bedside power sockets were useful. The breakfast was ok.
The strong smell of stale / not so stale (!) nicotine smoke on the middle floor was unexpected and unacceptable. The rooms were dusty with cobwebs, the overall decor was very tired and outdated. The entrance hall was cluttered as was the middle floor. It would have been nice if the breakfast wasn’t taken in the bedrooms.
Nothing
We had booked 3 double rooms and 1 single room. As soon as we entered the property and walked up the stairs we could all see the property needed a very good clean throughout. All 4 rooms were not up to the standards we expected and we had to find alternative accommodation. Photos were taken to give to booking.com if required. After reporting the property to booking.com the owner did refund us in full as we had requested. Stains on bed sheets and mattress protector. Dust everywhere. Mould in showers. Cobwebs behind toilet.
very friendly. we had the family room, lovely view of the harbour. breakfast brought to your room at the time you choose.
signal for tv was poor, but possibly because of the storm
The actual room was very nice. Quirky but pleasant decor, a nice bathroom, great shower with hot water and a rainfall shower head. Breakfast was lovely and there's a good view of the harbour out the window.
The room was very clean and tidy and well appointed, but the entrance to the hotel, the stairways and landings etc are pretty tired and are in desperate need of a good deep clean and de-cluttering.
Comme à la maison ! Accueil très sympathique. Petit déjeuner en chambre super 👍
Un peu de rénovation…
Breakfast and room excellent.
Entrance and stairway a bit cluttered.
Very helpful owner and a lovely breakfast. Good value.
The owners were very friendly and welcoming. The room was very clean, comfortable and well equipped.
There was nothing not to like. Initially it seemed a little odd that breakfast was served in your room but there was obviously no space for a dining room so that was fine
Excellent hosts, very friendly and hospitable. Very comfortable en-suite room. Breakfast is brought to your room at the time you choose, having pre-ordered the night before.
Nothing at all.
The breakfast and nice big room.
mainly all good - only slight snag is the climb up all the stairs with so much luggage, but staff did help with luggage when I arrived at the beginning and when I left at the end
Alles ging goed, erg gastvrij
Niks
The location was good - great view, and not far from the railway station, Very handy for the excellent chip shop around the corner - and breakfast in the morning was exceptional, served piping hot.
The window could have been a little cleaner - but I appreciate that's going to be difficult with the North Sea a very short distance away....
Friendly couple & my room was so comfortable
Super stay with stunning views - comfy, clean room, lovely and warm, and friendly welcome too.
Location. Sunrise
The house needed some serious TLC. Our rooms although the bedding was clean, needed a through clean by specialists to get it back to some sort of acceptability. Breakfast was served on trays that had the last residents crumbs on it.
Was convenient to get into town on foot, parking on road directly outside, Keith very friendly
Room could do with a really deep clean, shower head very dirty
Location was good..Room was spacious and comfortable.
Although the breakfast was good, it was served in our room. We prefer a separate eating area.
Rien malheureusement
Manque de propreté, de sécurité, odeurs désagréables, cuisine défaillante et ville morte
