Clive

Stayed as part of our NC500 tour blessed with beautiful weather. Nice relaxed hotel just 8 minutes from the amazing Dunnet beach and a similar distance to the Gills Bay ferry to Orkney and convenient for John O'Groats. Good reception and friendly towards us and our dog. Only one eating room and we were allowed to take our dog to breakfast there. Had a memorable 'tasting menu' on the second night which was a bonus. Although the dog wasn't allowed in the restaurant for that particular event some other very kind guests looked after him for us in the lounge. Room comfortable. Decent shower. Would be the choice to stay again if in the area.

Burnside Cottage

Helena

Our stay at Burnside Cottage was amazing. Kacey was the perfect host, welcoming us when we arrived. The bed was comfortable and the shower great. In fact, the room was very well designed. We had everything we needed, including some really lovely organic soap and lots of hooks in the bathroom. Especially important for us, there was a fridge in the room. A lot of thought has gone in to making sure guests are comfortable. Dinner and breakfast were outstanding, the best food we had been served so far in our trip. I would not hesitate to book again if we get the opportunity to return.

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.

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

- 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 hotel
PaulUnited Kingdom - From £119 per night7.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 1,277 reviewsIt was a perfect location for visiting John O Groats. We went during our NC500 trip and was such an easy stop. Not much around, but the restaurant in the hotel is good. There is a great petting farm next to the hotel, and plenty of sheep running in the fields around! The bed was comfortable, and the staff was very helpful and kind. Would recommend!LillianaUnited Kingdom

The house and neighbouring mill are beautiful with incredible view and both kids and dog loved the easy walk around the seaside to John O Groats. Lots to see in the area. Kitchen very well equipped.
