Warm and welcoming. Although breakfast was continental there was plenty choice, with Man checking if there was anything else we required.

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.

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.
staff were very accommodating, for us having two dogs they were very welcomed by all staff.
the room was perfect for views. perfect for location right next to the passenger ferry to Orkney and the famous John o’groats sign.
even though the hotel is on a main busy road, we never heard much noise at all.
bed was comfy, room was clean.
I would definitely stay here again.
We had a great time here. The B&B is situated a 5 minute walk from the famous John O’Groats signpost, and 2 minutes from the Seaview Hotel (restaurant/bar). The room and bathroom were exceptionally clean and Cara was an amazing host. The breakfast was tasty, consisting of cereal, homemade bread and boiled eggs. The petting farm made it extra special.
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!
Despite the near monopoly it has in the area, the hotel is very welcoming, well maintained and a pleasure to stay at.
Have to say that the shower in our room (#26) ranks amongst the best have ever had anywhere in terms of Power, Temp Control and Cleanliness.
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
Warm welcome, Gordon gave us his phone to book a table for dinner at a hotel he recommended
Free parking ,free WiFi
Good continental breakfast plenty of it.
Ideal stopover for John O Groats viewpoint and Duncansby Stacks
