The Spotlight on The Antlers

Peaceful Highland Base Camp for Music Lovers

Modern comforts meet rural charm at The Antlers, a cozy bed and breakfast nestled in the scenic village of Lybster. Just 15 miles from Wick John O'Groats Airport and within easy reach of local music events, this laid-back stay gives guests a restful home base surrounded by rolling hills and sea views. With a garden, terrace, and shared lounge, the vibe here is all about unwinding in nature after a big night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate The Antlers for its tranquil setting—perfect for decompressing after a high-energy show. It’s close enough to Wick and surrounding venues to be convenient, but far enough to avoid the post-gig crowds and noise. Free parking and flexible packed lunch options make it easy to head out to events or hit the road without hassle. While check-in starts at 16:00, guests often mention the friendly flexibility of the hosts.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a quiet base to crash after a gig
  • Solo travelers chasing that once-in-a-lifetime concert experience
  • Couples turning a show into a scenic weekend escape
  • Fans who need down time after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want charm and comfort

Food and Drink Options

While The Antlers doesn’t have a restaurant on-site, it offers packed lunches for those on the go—great for pre-show bites or road trip snacks. Local eateries are a short drive away, and the peaceful lounge is perfect for winding down with a takeaway. Breakfast is included and served at a relaxed pace, which late-night fans appreciate.

Nightlife Options

The Antlers is more about stargazing than strobe lights. While there’s no on-site bar or live music, it’s a restful retreat after visiting nearby pubs or music venues in Wick. Those looking for a chilled nightcap will enjoy the shared lounge or terrace under the Highland sky.

What People Say

Guests love the quiet atmosphere, friendly hosts, and spotless rooms. Many highlight the convenience of free parking and WiFi, plus the thoughtful touch of packed lunches. Reviewers often mention how ideal it is for a peaceful night after a busy event.

Areas for Improvement

The rural location means you’ll want a car to get to and from concert venues. WiFi can be spotty at times, and the 10:00 check-out might feel a bit early after a late night—but a strong cup of Highland tea helps!

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a quiet, budget-friendly stay near Wick with warm hospitality, The Antlers hits all the right notes for concert-goers.
