A clean and comfortable place. Lisa was very helpful with maps and suggestions. We loved sitting by the river and watching the boats and wildlife. Its secure and felt exclusive to us. It was peaceful and quiet but the river, town and amenities were all very close. The Wick ferry to cross the river is 2 minutes away. Plenty of things to do inRead more the area. We will definitely return. Hide

The house is in the most fantastic setting with a private garden that leads down to the river. We loved the house - very comfortable bed and loads of storage in the bedroom. The bathroom looked very new and had a good shower and the kitchen was well fitted and equipped. The sitting room was also very comfortable and we particularly enjoyed haviRead moreng the terrace outside. The owner lives on site and was around to answer any questions. Christchurch is just a 10 minute stroll along the river and had everything we needed during our stay. Hide

I don't class the accommodation as a cottage in the traditional sense. It is a town house set within a complex of similar properties which is run very efficiently by and her team. I was concerned that being attached there would be noise issues, but that was not the case. We had a very peaceful stay.
