Located in Wick, Highland, Scotland, this charming lodge provides a comfortable retreat for up to six guests, featuring three well-appointed bedrooms. The design emphasizes an 'indoor/outdoor' living experience, accentuated by an extensive glass wall frontage that floods the open-plan living area with natural light. This thoughtful architectural choice not only enhances the ambiance but also offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape, regardless of the weather conditions outside.
Upon entering, guests are greeted by a practical boot room designed for storing sandy shoes and muddy boots, ensuring that the main living space remains cozy and clean. This area is also equipped with a washing machine and dryer, allowing for convenient mid-week laundry, which is especially beneficial for families or groups. The lodge boasts a fully-equipped kitchen, ideal for preparing delicious meals, while the open-plan layout encourages social interaction among guests, particularly around the spacious kitchen island.
The dining area features a large table that comfortably seats six, perfect for enjoying leisurely breakfasts, intimate dinner parties, or casual afternoon snacks. In the lounge, guests can unwind on deep, comfy sofas warmed by an in-built wood burner, while a large flat-screen TV with Amazon access and complimentary Wi-Fi provides entertainment options for all ages, particularly on those rainy Highland days.
At the end of the day, guests can retreat to one of three sumptuous bedrooms, each adorned with Egyptian Cotton bed linens and locally-sourced soft furnishings that enhance comfort. The bedrooms offer a choice of en-suite facilities with powerful showers or a spacious family bathroom complete with a deep bubbly tub. Beyond the lodge, visitors can explore local cultural highlights such as the Caithness Broch Centre and Mary-Ann's Cottage, and engage in activities at nearby ferry terminals like John O' Groats and Gills Bay.
