Heather Cottage Reviews

Emma
We had such a relaxing stay here! The place comfortably sleeps up to 8and having 3 bathrooms was a real bonus. The garden with the hot tub was perfect after long days exploring Scotland’s highlights. The riverside walk nearby was lovelyand it’s handy having supermarkets in town for food shopping. The kitchen is well-equipped, which was great since Wick doesn’t have many dining options. Our dog, mumand we all enjoyed it. Truly a peaceful spot to unwind. Would definitely come back!

We had a great stay at this cottage. It’s perfect for families wanting to unwind after a day exploring the local beaches and historic spots. We enjoyed hanging out near John O’Groats, watching the different groups finishing their trips at the landmark. The distillery cafe is a lovely stopand my wife swears it has the best cafe latte around - she’s usually quite picky! The cottage itself has everything you need for a comfortable holiday, really felt like a home away from home.

We found the cottage to be really cosy and spotlessly clean, much bigger than it looks from the outside. The garden was stunning, even with the rain and wind. Anne was lovely-great at communication and very helpful if we needed anything. We stayed a few days alone and felt completely safe. The bus service to Thurso was handy, with a gorgeous beach and a fantastic museum with a cafe. We’d definitely return, even though it’s quite a trek from home!

We had a lovely stay at Thistle Cottage. The gardens were perfect for our dogs, especially with the big park just across the street. The history of the place was really interesting, though we’d have loved to learn who the people in the large pictures in the hall were. The house had everything we needed for a comfy visit. Would return!
