About this property

Welcome to Bank Guest House

Situated just a 2-minute walk north of the Wick River, Bank Guest House occupies a Victorian building that offers a mix of traditional and modern rooms. Guests benefit from free Wi-Fi and a cooked breakfast included with their stay, providing a convenient start to the day. While the property does not feature a restaurant or fitness center, it is smoke-free and welcomes families, although pets are not permitted.

With a central location on Bridge Street, the guesthouse lies within close reach of Scotrail train services and the A99, making it a practical choice for travelers passing through the area. Nearby attractions include Castle Sinclair Girnigoe, the Old Pulteney Distillery, and the Ackergill Tower estate, offering a range of experiences from historical sites to scenic countryside activities.

Guest feedback highlights the warm hospitality and well-prepared breakfasts, as well as comfortable, spacious rooms. Some reviews note that room access is only via stairs, which may be less suitable for guests with mobility concerns. While the surrounding neighborhood has experienced some local traffic noise at times, this appears unrelated to the guesthouse itself and is common for central Wick.

Bank Guest House is well suited to visitors seeking a straightforward, family-friendly bed and breakfast experience with easy access to transport and local points of interest. The 4.3 rating from over 100 reviews reflects a mostly positive guest experience grounded in personal service and a welcoming atmosphere.

Cannot fault this guest house. Lovely spacious room, super hosts, and the breakfast was more than adequate. Handy car parking to the rear. As previously stated (stayed on a Friday night) the local youths feel they have to express themselves using the high street as a race track and car show. Absolutely nothing to do with the guest house would be the same with any location in Central Wick. Would most definitely recommend if your passing though on the NC500

Nice landlady, Clean room. Good bed and excellence breakfast. Rooms are only by stairs reachable. Not always an easy climb, depending of age. I missed a small table in the room to work on. All together nice stay though.

Had a very pleasant two night stay here for work/leisure. Room was large and comfy with everything you would expect. Good strong shower. Handy location in centre of Wick and close to other places for an evening meal. Good breakfast, and friendly and pleasant service. In style it's somewhere between a bed and breakfast and a hotel (i.e. you are being looked after by the owners who live there but it is very separate if that makes sense). Noticed a couple of reviews saying the location wasn't great. I can't really agree with that, it's grand, and if you wanted it to be in a more upmarket location then it might have to be not in Wick!
