Place had very comfy beds and all our basic needs for fridge and bathroom were met.
The day we stayed, it was only us at the hostel, so it was very quiet and we had the bathroom all to ourselves.
Gordon, the host was really lovely and friendly, he made sure the heating was on prior to our arrival as it was raining cats and dogs out there.
PS.: place is very easy to find - no need to run around and find off beaten paths.

Kacey could not be a more accommodating host. She also prepared great meals for dinner and breakfast and was able to accommodate all special dietary request for our group. To top it off her entire facility is extremely eco conscious. I would highly recommend the Burnside Cottage.

The Shepherd’s Hut was such a stunning property, small but perfectly formed! Such a clever use of space to make it incredibly cosy, comfortable and welcoming. Debbie as host has clearly put a lot of care and attention into making it feel so special and was a great host, both with pre-stay communication and in welcoming us at the accommodation. Could not recommend this place highly enough, it would be a pleasure to be able to stay there again.

New, clean, comfortable facilities and personalized service a few steps from Castle of Mey. Very beautiful oceanfront location and amenities make the Granary Lodge am excellent choice. Highly recommended.
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. .

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.

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.
If your planning to stay at John O Groats this is the most amazing place to stay. Gail and Dave make you feel at home as soon as you step inside the door. To be honest I can not find the words to say how fabulous this place is. The rooms are outstanding immaculately clean there is a longe you can sit and chill out with views like no other.
We are defo going back Gail and Dave thank you so much for your fabulous hospitality our stay with you will never be forgotten.
This beautiful B&B was beyond perfect. It was situated surrounded by fields, and had a view of the sea. We stayed in an en-suite room which was decorated beautifully. Gail was a very chatty, bubbly host and was very accommodating, nothing was too much trouble for her. We felt very at home there. This is by far the best B&B close to John o groats. You won’t be disappointed.
Superb location with a hotel close by to eat. Perfect for a family visiting with children as rooms and shared bathroom would be ideal. Breakfast was help yourself with great variety of cereals and the most beautiful bread. Cook your own eggs were also so fresh and tasty. Farm looked great but can’t comment as no time to visit. Kids would love it.
It 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!
The owner was lovely. Picked me up from the john o groats sign and dropped me off to start my walk in the morning, without charging. Breakfast was delicious, fresh fruit, juice, ciffe and a range of cereals to chose from. The room was big, heating was warm I saw a deer from the window, and the shower was nice.
Amazing location, a small walk away from John o groats / 2 minute drive away. The property had very secure parking and the owner was nice and friendly. The cottage itself has history which is interesting, and for the price you can’t go wrong
Both the cottage and the setting are lovely. Spacious and comfortable with everything you need. Lots to see and do in the area.
The coastal path is lovely for an after dinner walk out to John o Groats and Duncansby Ness.
Great location in John O Groats, easy to walk to the harbour. The room was very comfortable, and the bathroom was nice and clean. Loved visiting the animals, especially Betty and Mary! Breakfast was good too
Perfect location, lovely host, big spacious rooms, very comfy beds, could enter the petting farm as many times as you liked! We had a great stay! Also had a lovely dinner at the seaview hotel.
It was nicely isolated but only 5 minutes from John O Groats and ferry terminal, restaurant just down the road.
Made to feel very welcome, highly recommend.
