Cottage holiday rentals in Wick

We had an amazing stay! Cottage was perfect, short drive to a lovely town and great to access all parts of the Highlands. Highly Recommend!

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!

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.

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

The Old Byre is a special place, thanks to the care that Louise & Bob have put into their property and their wish to share its benefits with others. They are generous hosts and the cottage had a feeling of being warm and welcoming, with things such as the local information pack they created, board games, books and DVDs in the cottage giving it a sense of being a true family holiday home, not a stale commercial rental like any other. The cottage was great as per the listing but what really stood out beyond our expectations was the beautiful garden (kids liked the playhouse) and local land that we were welcomed to explore. They have created fantastic walks in the surrounding fields and woods and it was clear that the whole property has been developed over many years with a love of and respect for nature. It was a peaceful and vibrant place with a lovely feel to it, and it was a great base for exploring the hills, lochs, beaches and villages in the area.

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

Had a great stay in such a beautiful spot. What views from the kitchen window. House and garden grounds were great for the two dogs and the grassed enclosure was perfect. Everything we needed including an outside den. Beach minutes walk away. Loved our stay.

One of the best welcoming baskets I’ve ever received in accommodation, lots of cooking utensils also with a near fully stocked kitchen for cooking

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.

The cottage was just as nice as in the video. It was well equipped, with warm comfy beds, nice towels, and plenty of fuel for the wood burners, which warmed the place up in no time. The kitchen had every thing we needed. All in all a very nice place, and I would recommend to all my friends, and would certainly stay again. Thanks Gina Kindest regards Pat Rawnsley

This place is perfect for a peaceful getaway. The cottage is located just outside Haster and is within a windfarm. The turbines also brought a peacefulness to the stay. The cottage is gorgeous, has a garden to sit/play in and places to park. The dog walk around the cottage is lovely. Inside there is more than enough space, the rooms are all set out well and everything you need is there. The best room in my kind is the one above the kitchen, tucked away and with amazing roof windows. I didnt close the blind, i lay in bed and could see all the stars. The location meant that we could visit, Wick, Cairn o get, Whaligoe steps, many o stanes, Noss Head lighthouse, Sinclairs castle and Bay, Thurso, John o groats, Orkney Mainland, Ebeneezer Place, Trinkie, Thurdle Door, Duncansby, Dunnets Head, beach and Forest Walk. We saw the Falkirk kelpies on the way there and Loch Ness on the way home. Amazing memories. Totally recommend this cottage and beautiful place.

The most stunning air BnB and the perfect get away in one of the most stunning spots of the U.K. Sylvia’s place is surrounded by incredible beaches, excellent surf spots with beautiful hills in the distance. Not to mention the amazing wildlife (otters, seals and dear spotted this trip alone) The air BnB was beautifully cosy and the perfect place to relax. Sylvia and co- host made sure we had everything we could wish for and were on hand for local tips. Would highly recommend!

We had a great time at Elizabeth’s place! The location at the harbor is wonderful and I enjoyed my morning coffee sitting on the bench in front of the house. The kids collected tons of seaglass and shells. You can easily stroll downtown for coffee, food or groceries. The house had lots of space for our family of six to stretch out but still felt cozy. The interior design is thoughtful and very nice. We felt at home the minute we stepped in! The kitchen has all you need to prepare your own meals. Lots of places to explore in the area. We especially enjoyed a hike up in Forsinard. Elizabeth was a attentive host and our communication was always friendly and prompt. I would definitely stay here again when in the area!
