    The flat is very comfortable, and very well equipped. It is also located with a superb view of the harbour, and within walking distance of restaurants. This was our second stay, and both times it did not disappoint.

The award winning Wick Heritage Museum and the famous Old Pulteney Distillery are within a short stroll.

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.
