    The Gentleman responsible for the property was exceptionally kind, generous and helpful. The area is wildly beautiful - exactly what I was looking for. Everything necessary for my very simple needs were met perfectly. I would love to return.

    Superb location with a view of the Pentland Firth, close to (walkable) John O'Groats and the ferry to Orkney. Perfect for the three of us: would suit up to four. Great for touring the area: Wick, Thurso, Dunnet Head, Skara Brae, Brogda etc....
