Guest Reviews

• Peter (8/5): - Lovely hosts, very welcoming, made us tea and coffee and warmed our dinner. Large, comfortable bed. On site parking.
• Virginia (10/5): - Wonderful friendly, welcoming owners. Lovely home from home feel, comfortable bed, best nights sleep! Fantastic Scottish breakfast with beautiful view over the sea. Quiet and easy parking. Definitely staying there again on our next trip to Scotland 5 ⭐️
• Nathan (10/5): - Located well off the beaten path, this quaint B&B provides a cultural experience. The owners are very friendly and willing to share their wealth of knowledge about the area. The facility itself is clean and inviting. Breakfast is made to order by the couple who owns the place. For people who only have experience with hotels or Air B&Bs, this place will be eye-opening as it is run how traditional B&Bs were done fifty years ago. A lovely experience overall!
• Kara (10/5): Great Spot - Very friendly owners, clean room, comfortable bed, great breakfast, wonderful views. You can’t ask for more
• Kathleen (10/5): - Very friendly welcome at The Antlers, breakfast was superb and huge with excellent local ingredients
• ALEXEY (10/5): Great value, amazing breakfast! - Very friendly and accommodating host, breakfast was amazing!
• Debbie (10/5): Stunning views - This was a lovely Guesthouse out of the way right by the ocean with stunning views. The bed was big and comfortable with a private bathroom across the hall. We felt very welcome and the breakfast was yummy. Plenty of parking, great value for money.
• Ruksana (10/5): - The hosts were so friendly and lovely, given tea on arrival and recommendations for the area. The room was very spacious with a lovely view of the horses. An extremely comfortable bed. Lots of great breakfast options and again lovely views from the dining room. A great stay!

• Andy (10/5): - Can't say enough great things about this fabulous family run B&B, would give 6 stars out of five if I could. Wonderful comfortable bed, spacious rooms with powerful showers the view out of the window, which I've attached, is simply stunning. And that was all before breakfast, which was better than anything you could buy anywhere and prepared by somebody who cared. What a stunning location and what a wonderful place. We'll definitely look to come again.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Booking confirmed by Hotels.com but not by propert - Booked a room via Hotels.com only to realise that the booking notification has never reached to Antlers.

• Susan (10/5): - This is a lovely B&B! The property is modern and thus lacks the charm of a traditional old Fashioned B&B but it makes up for it in comfort, hospitality, views and breakfast! The bed was enormous and extremely comfortable as was the room. The hostess was friendly and helpful and made a delicious breakfast. The picture window in the dining room offered one of the best views of the water sand the bluffs and the horses grazing out front was just a nice addition. On top of this, it was the most reasonably priced of any of the properties we stayed at on our tour of the NC500! Would definitely recommend it and would definitely stay here again!

• Angerlos (10/5): Recommended Friendly stay - Nice and friendly people with good services, big rooms and comfortable stay. Recommended B&B for NC500 or even longer stays.
• Nestor (8/5): Comfortable room but smells of smoke - We stayed here as part of our NC500 trip - the hotel is located just off the main A99 road from Wick and there are very nice sea views from the property. We stayed in a room w/ a four poster bed and a massage cushion on a chair which were both comfortable. The hosts were welcoming and friendly - we were asked the previous evening what we wanted for breakfast the following morning and the morning meal was very nice. The bathroom for our room was for our use only and was located across the main hallway from our room. Now, on to the only downside, the room smelled quite strongly of cigarette smoke, this was only a minor disturbance to us but it was definitely noticeable. All in all, we enjoyed our stay here and, as long as you don't mind the lingering smell of cigarette smoke, you should be all good here.
• Brandan (4/5): - This was a very weird experience. The entire house and rooms were open at all times, no keys or locks. I felt like I was in someone’s house, the kitchen was pretty messy too with paper work everywhere etc. Didn’t feel like a hotel, more like I was sleeping in someone’s house for the night. The room itself was nice, with clean and cosy bedding, but felt uncomfortable that we couldn’t lock our bedroom. Even though the breakfast is as very nice, they definitely overcharge for their rooms. The staff (or family even) were nice but there was absolutely nothing there, even the closest town which was a 25 minute drive away, had only one pub open which was a spoons. I expected more for how much we paid etc
