We are so looking forward to welcoming back our guests (new and returning), when restrictions allow. 😀

In the mood for Pizza?

Taking orders now for this week - Thursday to Saturday nights!
Menu below or click through to website. The last two weeks have been brilliant so thank you to everyone who has supported us and eaten up every dough ball in existence. We are very grateful.
More of the same this week with orders taken until 4pm on the day of collection - it all goes quick though, so if you can plan ahead it would be advised.
If you'd like it sliced for outdoor eating, make sure to let us know when you order!
Collections available Thursday to Saturday from 5pm to 8pm in 15min time slots. Social distancing guidelines adhered to and applied.

NB: Please note there is a slight change to the menu - we now offer the pizzas in only one size (or alternatively gluten free) - we can do kids sizes, however, in margarita or with one extra ingredient so no worries for little people. Our previous smaller size was great for a slightly reduced option but a small surface area was not coping well with all the multiple ingredients on offer. Best to GO BIG and send it properly :)

Update from our local Strathnaver museum

It is with a heavy heart that we have taken the decision to remain closed for the rest of the 2020 season.

Given the nature of our historic building and the risks posed to staff and visitors we feel it is not possible to open in the current circumstances. We are deeply disappointed but look forward to welcoming you all back in the future.

In the meantime do get in touch if you've any questions and you'll find lots of resources and information on our website. We'll be adding more resources to the Family Corner, Blog and Online Exhibitions in the coming weeks and months: www.strathnavermuseum.org.uk

Update from Wick Heritage Museum which will remain closed for this season. Reopening 2021.

With heavy hearts we have decided NOT to open the Wick Heritage Centre for the remainder of the 2020 Season.

We WILL be back at Easter 2021 and we look forward to seeing you then.

However, over the coming months, we are planning a number of activities under the heading of which will highlight the rich heritage of Wick through stories, pictures and information.

Check back here for further information

Latest update from John O’Groats ferries, totally understandable in the present circumstances. But look forward to promoting and hopefully a couple of trips to Orkney 2021

Update for Summer 2020. As a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic, we will not be able to operate this summer. This includes the ferry service, day trips, express coach & wildlife cruises. We regret the inconvenience caused by this decision but we feel that this is the only option available to us in these unprecedented times. The strict protocols required to keep everyone safe would severely restrict our capacity and result in the service being unviable. However, we look forward to seeing everyone in 2021 - our 50th anniversary year! Keep safe everyone.

26/06/2020

Been a while since our last post but following the latest Scottish government announcement we have decided to reopen Rhianchaitel house from 15th July, all going well. 😊
Safety for guests will always come first, we that in mind there will be a period of 72 hrs in between each booking to allow for a througher deep clean
We are so looking forward to welcoming new and returning guests back to our beautiful holiday home.

19/04/2020

So strange not be welcoming our guests to Rhianchaitel, but at present we remain closed. The safety and well being of our community and our guests will always come first.

So until we welcome you back I thought I would post a few photos for you.
Be safe

Unfortunately we have made the very difficult decision to close Rhianchaitel holiday home for the foreseeable future, we will review at the end of April depending on the governments guidance.
We live in a small but close knit community with many families young and old and we feel that we must put their health and well being first!
Hopefully it won't be long before we can welcome our guests back. We are a small family run business and thank you for your patience in this difficult time.

As a personal note:
I do ask that anyone thinking of coming up here to escape/ self isolate/ holiday in the next couple of months, to re think and change your dates that way we can support all the small businesses here.
The Highlands will still be here to welcome you after all this has calmed down :)

Even today’s heavy snow showers hasn’t stopped Andy from doing a brilliant job building Rhianchaitel new decking area. Will post photos when complete.

I know I’m a bit biased but the far north coast boosts some of the finest winter scenery you will find!
