Absolutely the best holiday pods ever. These can't be beaten they are so good. Majestic views and everything you need. So relaxing the hot tub just outstanding. Would highly recommend going here. 11 out of 10 for us. We will most definitely be coming back. The owners also lovely couple and nothing was a hassle for them.
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Sinclair Bay Lodges for a two-night retreat, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by breathtaking sea views that instantly set the tone for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The lodge itself was immaculately presented, with all the amenities we could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The highlight for us was undoubtedly the hot tub, which provided the perfect way to unwind while taking in the stunning surroundings. Traveling with our energetic 3-year-old son, we were delighted to find that the lodge was not only child-friendly but also catered to his every need. He was particularly enamored with the outdoor space and couldn't get enough of exploring the nearby beach. In addition to the fantastic facilities, the location of Sinclair Bay Lodges was ideal for us. Situated close to Wick, we had easy access to a variety of shops, including Tesco, Lidl, B&M, and more, making it convenient to stock up on essentials or indulge in a spot of shopping. This was our second stay at Sinclair Bay Lodges, and it certainly won't be our last. The combination of stunning sea views, luxurious amenities, and convenient location make it the perfect destination for a family getaway. A huge thank you to our host for ensuring that our stay was nothing short of perfect. We can't wait to return soon!
The room was great. The view of the North Sea was fantastic, and the view from the hot tub was even better. The bed was mostly comfortable. The only issue we had was that we ran out of hot water halfway through the first shower. The owner did answer his phone and let us know there is a controller with a boost button hiding in the back of the cupboard with the plate and bowls. But sadly, the water did not warm before we had to leave.
What a little gem! Everything was perfect - the sea view, private hot tub and the pod, we loved every moment! We are an 8 hour drive away (wish we was closer!) but we will definitely be back in the future! We had the most amazing time - thank you! xx
Great views out onto the sea, waves almost crashing onto the patio (a good few metres away). Hot tub is a welcomed touch. The owners were amazing helping out when we had a puncture in the area. Very cozy and an ideal getaway spot.
This has to be one of the nicest pods I've ever stayed in. So clean and done to such a high standard. The individual secluded balcony with hot tub looks straight onto the beach with complete privacy. I will definitely be coming back. Such a beautiful place to relax. We were even paid a visit by a few orcas swimming past only metres from the shore .
Having a fantastic time at the lodge, everything you could need. Great views, hot tube is brilliant. A short walk to a beautiful sandy beach or a walk along to the ruins of Keiss Castle. Lodges are spotless and have everything you could possibly need
We booked for a few nights, but due to unforeseen circumstances we had to leave earlier. The stay was amazing, the views, the peace and quiet were great for an escape from city break. Shower was amazing. Penny and Andrew were super helpful, even answering the phone after 9pm to help with the sofa bed! Thank you for your hospitality and will be recommending to everyone. Paul, Noorin and family
