"This hotel does not have an elevator but the staff were more than willing to carry our bags upstairs for us. The restaurant was very busy with locals as well as travellers. The food was very good. It is also across the street from Tesco if you need to pick up anything."

"Perfect stay after getting off the ferry at Gills Bay. Well appointed rooms and fantastic breakfast"

Broadhaven Road

10/10 Excellent

"The room was small but immaculately clean. It was ideal for a one night stay. I met Peter, the owner, and he was very helpful with regards getting about and recommending local places to eat. There was ample parking outside too. Whilst the other guests weren’t in any way noisy, unfortunately the walls are very thin and I could hear the slightest noise very clearly."

"Clean, spacious en-suite room in historic building. Great breakfast. Friendly and helpful owner. Recommend highly."

Mackays Hotel Wick

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay, super dog friendly too!!"

Norseman Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff during meals, especially breakfast when I was last one in, were awesome and so friendly. Two young ladies, one with baby due at Christmas, couldn’t have been more helpful. Lovely breakfast, lots of choice even at 9am. The lads on duty in the evening were also lovely, but service was rather slow even before coach full of Australians arrived."
