"Perfect little room for me and my wife on our brief trip to Wick. Communications pre-visit made sure that I knew exactly how to access the property and our room, even though the owners weren't there. On arrival, there were a few cars on the car park, but still space for us. I took a little wash down the road, and had a wonderful view of the coastline of the North East of Scotland."
