This fully furnished one bedroom, first floor flat is beautifully situated overlooking Wick Harbour and has views out to Wick Bay and beyond. The flat contains everything you need for a comfortable stay including all kitchen equipment and utensils, toiletries, TV, Wi-Fi and easy car parking nearby. There is a comfortable double bed in the bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room suitable for 1 adult or 2 children. The property is walking distance of all local amenities including cafes, shops, bars and restaurants. The award winning Wick Heritage Museum and the famous Old Pulteney Distillery are within a short stroll. There are also beautiful coastal and river walks within the area where you may be able to catch sight of whales, dolphins, puffins and many other animals. We can offer guests a meet and greet upon arrival or instructions to the key safe box located at the door. The host is also available to contact throughout your stay.
I want you to have an enjoyable and memorable stay during your time in Wick. If there is anything I can do to help you then please do not hesitate to contact me.
The flat is called The Steamboat as it was once part of the old Steamboat Inn which operated during the 1800s and early 1900s. The adjacent Wick Harbour has a fascinating history having been the centre of the European Herring Industry in the 1800s. Mounted on the outside wall of the property is a barometer to commemorate the 37 fishermen that were lost during a violent storm on "Black Saturday, 19th August 1848". Wick Harbour is still busy to this day with a mixture of boats from leisure craft and commercial fishing boats to modern vessels serving Beatrice Offshore Wind-Farm.
