The Ivy Wing is located within a wonderful estate.
The Ivy Wing is located within a wonderful estate. The tasteful decor of such a historical home, coupled with its cosiness, made us feel right at home.Louise was a very accommodating host.Looking forward to being back!
This was our last stay in a journey through Scotland, and it was perfect. Warm, comfortable, and just a beautiful home. The countryside setting was close to towns to get food and explore the Northern Highlands, and still very private and quiet. Thank You!

Beautiful property in a fantastic location, can't rate highly enough, brilliant base to head off exploring yet so welcoming and peaceful. All the practical things you need set in a majestic building with so much history. Within 10 mins of wick for the essentials, pubs, supermarkets, petrol, but also within 15 mins of Thurso and the islands ferry and of course John o'grotes. The hosts also added so many extra little elements, making it feel like home from home.
