The petting farm, location and Cara herself were great.

Nada.

Who doesn't want to stay at a petting zoo??? A wonderful little farm with amazing views of the ocean and surrounding area. A cozy bedroom to sleep in until the rooster says it's time to get up!

Having a shared bathroom/toilet is a bit uncomfortable,it was fine.

Breakfast had a nice selection of things and freshly made bread! Host was lovely. It was nice to see the animals in the petting farm and hear about their stories. The location is wonderful,but we were so lucky with the weather!

Unfortunately it was a shared bathroom and you can not stand up to take a shower.

Room and breakfast was great, especially the fresh baked bread. Location was perfect. Cara was very welcoming and friendly.

There was no cooked breakfast only boiled eggs which you use an egg boiler yourself. There was cereals and fresh bread, fruit juice and coffee. There was yogurt and jams on offer. There was no shower only a bath and it was a shared bathroom with one other room.

The hostess was very welcoming, warm and friendly. The accommodation is just a short walk from the town up a quiet street, and only a short walk from a local hotel where they have a restaurant.The beds are very comfortable and one of the best I have slept in. I would definitely recommend puffin cottage for a quiet and comfortable stay. There is also a petting farm if you have small children.

It is the sweetest accommodation I've ever been in. Everything is made to the latest detail in very nice way. I don´t have enough words to describe it... You have to experience it :) Also the area is beautiful (the cliffs, walks around the little city, sheeps and also rabbits around...). I would definitely recommend to stay longer than one night. And be sure to visit the farm and little shop full of handmade things. I´m in love with this place and hopefully will come back one day :)

I liked everything

The cottage is beautifully decorated in light bright colours. The beds are really comfortable and it is so quiet for a good night sleep. The breakfast of freshly baked bread in a beautifully set room was a treat to wake up to

We weren't crazy about a shared bathroom, but we were only staying one night so it did not hinder our vacation in anyway.

Cara is a wonderful hostess. The B&B is located in a former croft house that includes a petting zoo. The rooms and breakfast room are decorated in a country fashion that includes flora, fauna and animals that are in the petting zoo. The room was very bright and accommodating. It was large enough that you could open your suitcase and still get around the room. The bed was very comfortable and cosey and there is a wardrobe and dresser to store your clothes. The breakfast room is open and airy. There are only 2 rooms at the croft, so breakfast is taken at one big table. Oatmeal, cereals and fresh baked bread are served as well as coffee, tea and a variety of juices. There is also an egg cooker. This place is extremely clean and inviting. It is located within walking distance to John O'Groats, and a short distance to Duncansby Head making it a great place to visit the most north easternly part of Scotland.

The absolute highlight of John O'Groats is this cottage and the animals. For me the location was otherwise underwhelming, but I would absolutely return to Puffin Cottage.

The host, so friendly. Comfortable room. Breakfast was delicious. Great stay!!!

Not much not to like.

Very close to the coast, easy to find. The B&B is part of a lovely farm with various farm animals. Good breakfast as well.

Didn't like the kind of teabags provided for breakfast & outside the bedrooms & there was no TV provided at all but luckily WiFi was OK we had brought a laptop so we managed to watch a film on amazon prime each night that we stayed there. We were encouraged to book a table & eat at the nearby Seaview Hotel but didn't find the food that great there & went to the local chippie in John O Groats on the second night instead which was much better! :-)

There wasn't a cooked breakfast but there was a freshly cooked loaf of bread & a choice of Miss Puffins own brand of preserves or honey for breakfast each morning & a great choice of cereals or porridge, fruit, yoghurt & freshly laid eggs (which were amazing!) Also rooms were cosy & comfy & tastefully decorated with great views of surrounding countryside & we loved visiting the petting farm & feeding all the animals with chopped carrots from the shop & bought some amazing pasties, sausage rolls & cakes from the farm shop too. Also it was the perfect location for us to stay to go on the wildlife cruise & coach tour of the Orkney Isles from John O Groats.

Lovely b n b with sweet crog loft rooms and gorgeous views. Beautifully decorated in a cottage style. We loved the breakfast room with its teapots, fresh bread and egg boiler. Didn't get to see all the animals but the donkeys were sweet.

There was no shower in the bathroom but there was a bath.

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.

No stand-up shower in the bathroom, but it wasn't really a problem.

As we had booked both rooms, we had the whole cottage to ourselves, which meant that the shared bathroom was no problem. Beds were extremely comfortable and decor was lovely. Breakfast was laid out for us to help ourselves to when ready, and there was lots to choose from, including a freshly baked loaf of bread, and an egg boiling machine. Puffin cottage is a short 5 min walk from the iconic John o' Groats signpost, so we visited several times while we were there. The petting zoo was a little bonus, and it was nice to walk round and meet all the animals. We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay, and wouldn't hesitate to return.

We had an amazingly friendly welcome from the host, and the accommodation itself was lovely. Unfortunately we did not did get to enjoy the shop or farm due to our own busy schedule, but would definitely come back for the full experience!
