Cottage vacation 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!

Thank you Peter and Joanna. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your cottage surrounded by the stunning views coloured in the yellow, red and orange colours of autumn. Wonderful walks and bike trails direct from the cottage. The cottage was so well equipped. Cosy and warm. Lots of wonderful places to visit nearby. Big Burn waterfall walk, Dunrobin Castle and Gardens, Golspie, Ben Bhraggie and Brora. Dornoch, Falls of Shin and Balblair MTB were other lovely places we visited also. We had a very happy time a Big Barns.

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

Amazing stay, cottage was in a beautiful location and was well furnished and clean. Lovely kitchen with enough pots pans and utensils to cook anything you need. Made great use of the fire which made the cottage very cosy. On a clear night, you get stunning views of the stars. Kathleen was also very friendly and approachable - wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else next time I come to Hoy!

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.

Perfect cottage for our family holiday in Brora. Beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Had everything we needed and added bonus of a great garden which our kids thoroughly enjoyed. Perfect base to explore the area from. Comfy beds with great pillows!! Fire in living room provided instant heat when needed after spending all day outdoors. The kids have asked if we can come back every year so we will be back! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

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 is the second stay at Elizabeth’s place and will always come back, clean, character, beautiful area and comfy beds (extremely important!!!). There should be more stars 🤩

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.

I really enjoyed my recent stay at the Seaview Cottage. If you are looking for a supremely peaceful location with the most stunning views, this is definitely the place. I also found the owner Carol going above and beyond, for example arranging transport for me to pick up my hire car the next day. She even waited outside in the cold with a torch to guide my taxi driver on the first evening, as we arrived in the dark. Highly recommend. PS. I read somebody complaining in one of the other reviews about the (supposed) lack of cleanliness in the cottage and cold shower water, but this is really not true. On the contrary, I found the cottage to be spotlessly clean (and the shower nice and hot, you just have to switch the hot water button on ...).

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!

Must stay. Near ocean. Can see the ocean and highland cows. Comfortable home and property. Perfect for us and our dog.
