Malva - Modern 2 Bedroom Bungalow in Wick Sleeps 4 with private parking - NC500 Route

A good stop off on the NC 500, clean property.

One member of our party ran a bath and used all the hot water , we struggled to boost the water after that.

The location was well located along the NC500 route. There was a huge Tesco Superstore that was a 5 min drive away. Food options were also about a 2-5 min drive away (the kebab place was fantastic). We had the entire house and it came with 2 bedrooms, 2 beds, 1 bathroom, and a full kitchen. The house was extremely spacious for three people and very clean. There was no dust either. It was decorated tastefully and modern. There’s a driveway that’s big enough for one car, but also what looks like free street parking if you have more than one vehicle. There’s a grass backyard, but note that there’s nowhere to sit in the yard. Unlike other reviews, we found the house was nicely warm when we arrived and it remained a good temperature the whole night. The accommodation was also a great price and great value for your money!

Like others have mentioned, the facilities were faulty and need improvement. The worst was the shower drain, which was EXTREMELY clogged. You couldn’t run the shower for more than 2-3 minutes before the water spilled over the lip of the shower floor and onto the hardwood. The shower sink also drained slowly, but it was less of an issue there because the sink can hold more water. The bathroom light was VERY dim. As in, it might as well not be on, it was so dark. It would also flicker and jump brighter or dimmer suddenly, which was very startling. Also, note that there is NO SHAMPOO or BODY WASH. Laundry detergent was missing even though the host insisted it was there. I initially had great correspondence with Beverly, the host, and she responded quickly. However, once I started mentioning the faulty facilities above, she stopped replying to me altogether.

Comfortable and spacious

Shower didn’t drain well also hot water didn’t last for long. Otherwise it was amazing!

Great value for money, en route NC500. Very quiet and clean.

Some facilities faulty. Bathroom light very dim.

It was a great wee house with parking in a quiet area.

The bathroom sink was slow to drain. We will return again as I thought Caithness was spectacular

Everything!
