The owners were warm and inviting. We had a lovely pop up dinner with a guest chef that was great! Breakfast was also delicious and well prepared.

Great location if you want to go to The Orkneys.
Great location if you want to go to The Orkneys. There are also many other locations close for sight seeing from here. The view over the Pentland crossing. Staff were very welcoming and friendly with great advice on the area.

At the edge of Scotland, the gateway to the Orkneys or a sea tour. No facilities to speak of and the nearest Tesco is a 20 minute drive, so come prepared or just pass through here. The drive up is a hazard in terms of road maintenance. .FamilieNetherlands - 8.0Scored 8.0

The rooms were not cleaned and the toilet was actually full of crap so we had to call them and they cleaned it right away. The staff seemed to be overwhelmed, and the bathroom was extremely small so for one night it was not bad but can't stay for a few more days. The rooms were very cramped and when you enter the door could only be opened partially as it hit the bed. The configuration of bed placement was poor. That said, the location of this hotel was excellent and the staff were very pleasant to deal with.

Stunning sea views which could be enjoyed from inside the property or out on the deck. Excellent facilities and well maintained property, cleaned to a high standard. Hosts were friendly and very accommodating. We were left alone to enjoy our break but had support on site when needed. Superb onsite staff. Our heating had stopped working but this was resolved quickly and didn't intrude on our short break. There were some lovely onsite gift shops. There was also a cafe which we didn't have time to visit. There is also a small post office a short walk away with a few essentials available if needed. We prepared our own food and found the kitchen facilities and equipment in the kitchen to be fantastic. I would have preferred less outdoor lighting at night to reduce light pollution for viewing the beautiful night sky.AmyUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

We went for the walking and took the John O'Groats trail. As we went on Boxing day it was all closed, but there are a few shops there worth a look. You can drive all the way and there is parking at £3 per day.Michael - 10Scored 10

We enjoyed a boat trip whilst at John O'Groats even though we didn't see any dolphins or whales. The local brewery with attached bar was a great place to spend an afternoon. We enjoyed a nice evening meal at the Seaview Hotel just two minutes drive from our accommodation. There were a few tourist gift shops where you can stock up on all your gifts for friends and family. There is also the famous signpost where everybody has their photographs taken.Karl WayneUnited Kingdom

- 8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 254 reviewsOne of the warmest welcome we’ve ever received, really made you feel at home. One of the best places we stayed on the NC 500. The decor was cute and beautiful with small details throughout. The breakfast room was great with fresh eggs and fresh bread from the farm. 8mim walk to John o Groats for the boat trip around the orkneys. The animals were just as friendly and a lovely end to our stay here was going round to feed them all some carrots. Highly recommend and look forward to visiting again.
JonathonUnited Kingdom - 9.9Scored 9.9ExceptionalRated exceptional· 196 reviewsFlawless location with exceptional views. Perfect and very helpful host in this two-bedroom guesthouse with communal area and outstanding breakfast. My ferry to Orkney was cancelled due to bad weather, and Gail was happy for me to hang around long after departure time, topping up my coffee. Couldn’t fault it, and from experience vastly better than the local hotelPaulUnited Kingdom

The views across Pentland Firth and John O Groats were amazing. Our hostess, Gail, was great company and provided many little touches to make her guests welcome.
