Cottage vacation rentals in Wick

Every year we pick a new location in Scotland to celebrate my brother's birthday, and this one was one of our favorites so far. The host left many nice touches around the house, including a bottle of Prosecco, as well as some treats for our dog. The location was perfect for us (30 minutes from the Orkney ferry, walking distance from town center, and near some beautiful locations for short walks). Would definitely book this place again.

I'm finding it difficult to put into words what being a guest at Cantick Head was like. Magical, inspiring, cozy, peaceful, safe. The cottage is beyond charming. It was tastefully decorated with little bits of history scattered about. It was absolutely spotless clean with comfortable beds and linens that smelled heavenly especially after a day of hiking the nearby trails. A nature and animal lovers paradise. Alan and his family go above and beyond to ensure you are happy. I found the experience to be quite moving and was saddened to leave. Alan is an example of what an outstanding Airbnb operator is and Cantick Head is a top notch accommodation. The price was very reasonable for the experience of being at Cantick Head. Overall, 11 out 10!

Linda’s Place is a lovely former family home in a stunning position on the sea front at Longhope on the island of Hoy. It’s a family home with a very comfy, if somewhat old-fashioned vibe. Don’t expect 5 star accommodation but do expect a warm home well supplied with kitchen equipment and welcoming shortbread (very yummy) and fresh milk in the fridge. There are two boxes of toy,s /games for children of all ages plus a large DVD film collection for showing on the TV , Linda supplies bedding and towels. The bathroom has a shower over the bath. For a rural property the water supply water supply is fab but a tip is to stagger bath/shower times as the hot water sometime can run cool if excessive demand is placed on it. There is a garden with a washing line over the road from the cottage. The next door neighbour is a brilliant neighbour and all locals we met were friendly and very helpful. We two stayed in the first week of August 24 finding the village shop to have comprehensive supply.

Kevin’s place has been wonderful. The location is great, and you can reach different destinations by car. There is a nice equestrian facility nearby if you like horses. The place is also perfect for fishermen. River Thurso is a gem for fly fishing. Kevin’s house is perfect for a family. I particularly enjoyed the kitchen. It had everything i needed for cooking a variety of meals. The terrace is also beautiful. The beds and the bathroom are warm and comfortable.

A lovely, cosy cottage, perfect for what I needed whilst working on the island. Thanks so much for having me stay, I’ll definitely be back!

Those who like peace and nature will love this cottage in the style of "The Holiday". Authentic, warm and homely. Just like the hosts who are priceless! We will be back for sure.

What an absolute dream of a place to stay. Recently fully renovated and it is simply stunning. Minutes from the center of Wick and just off the NC 500, Drumdry was an ideal base for exploring the far northeastern corner of Scotland. The cottage was situated among beautiful farm fields and our son loved saying hi every morning to the sheep outside. And I can’t say enough how wonderful the owner is. She not only was so friendly and welcoming when we arrived, she also thoughtfully brought us a bunch of toys for our son to play with and feel more at home. I literally don’t think you could ask for a better host. Indeed our whole experience at Drumdry was so lovely it has reset the bar for what a 5 star stay is. I couldn’t recommend a stay here highly enough!

Great place to stay for work or a getaway. Would happily book this again

Great location, cottage was clean and well presented. It's looks exactly as pictures. Great Host all around, definitely would return again

We loved our brief stay in this cosy cottage. Although small, it is thoughtfully kitted out with everything that could be required. The location is stunning - beautiful views of the clear turquoise waters and the hills behind. We met nothing but kindness and friendliness from the people of Hoy, and especially from Kathleen

I was really impressed with the accommodation at old post office in Westfield.  I received a warm welcome from both owners and tour of the property.  The accommodation was extremely comfortable and the bed especially was amazingly comfortable.  The house had all the amenities that I needed for my stay of 7 days.  I would definitely recommend this place to others.

My husband and I had a lovely stay at Sunnyside Cottage, with no complaints whatsoever. Comfortable bed, fully equipped kitchen, super hot shower and homely cottage - with a welcome treat pack to boot! We highly recommend this lovely home with direct access to Embo beach with amazing sea/beach views and the perfect base to explore the beautiful Sutherland coastline villages and walks. Thank you for an amazing relaxing break away in your cosy cottage.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location with plenty of walks, sightseeing and places to visit. Very colds to the coast where we saw seals and otters in a daily basis. Would strongly recommend.

Great place to stay cosy and central for visiting other places

Beautiful place to stay inside and out. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. Loved how close we were to the beach. Perfect surroundings.
