Shared bathroom didn't suit us, but we were aware of this before we booked.

Lovely location, and the petting zoo is really good. Very comfortable bed! Breakfast was delicious.

Puffin cottage was super cute! Absolutely loved being around the animals. We had amazing guides to show us the farm - Dalmatians. Our host was brilliant, very welcoming!

The blankets for the beds were to heavy and warm for the time of the year

Very nice location with some animals to visit. Cara was a very friendly host. The rooms were very cosy! Can definitely recommend to stay here!

This was a quirky place to stay.. A lovely b&b. Kara was very obliging with information.

Room smallish and shared bathroom (but no problem as we knew in advance). Public transport to this remote area is limited so advice to other travellers using public transport is to be very organised. We got bus on departure (one every two hours to Thurso). Bus driver told us official bus stop is at the harbour but fortunately bus stopped for us near Sea View hotel.

It’s great what the owner is doing with the property. Interesting to see the animals in petting farm.Perfect location for John O Groats visit. Proximity to Duncansby Head and Stacks. You can see lighthouse from room. Nice home-made bread. Advice from owner re local restaurants.

Cara was a wonderful, helpful, and friendly host. The room was super cosy and had a spectacular view - everything we could’ve hoped for and more. Lovely breakfast too!

Not really any dislikes

A great place to stay when we had finished cycling to John O'Groats. Location is great and rooms have everything we needed.. Cara was very helpful and we were glad of recommendations for evening meals etc. We were a bit late to go round the zoo but the animals we did see were very cute and pleased to see us..

Nothing, it was all lovely.

Lovely welcome on arrival. The room was clean and decorated tastefully. Breakfast was delicious, and the fresh baked bread was a real treat. Great location to visit lots of areas of interest. Petting Farm was really nice, you can see that all the animals are very well cared for. We would definitely recommend this place to others.

The area does not offer many restaurants. must drive to Wick/Thurso. Must also share a bath with other guests. But Puffin Cottage was a good choice.

Quirky BnB with animal farm in John O'Groats. Close to ferry terminals, the JOG park and beach. Hostess provided a varied breakfast with her warm, just out of the oven Bread which was yummy. All in all a great stay.

Nothing I can think of.

Cara was a lovely host. Rooms were clean and so comfortable with cute decor. Beds very comfy. Breakfast was super cute, laid out lovely with freshly baked bread, delicious. The animals were amazing, so nice to be able to go round and feed them all and pet them. A lovely cosy stay with a quirky edge. Would fully recommend. The farm shop sold great produce and locally made crafts which were beautiful. Both pubs within walking distance.

Shared bathroom isn't ideal (though of course that was known in advance). That said, everything was scrupulously clean and comfortable. An ideal spot if you need to catch a ferry to Orkney or Shetrland, as we did.

Breakfast was generous and excellent. Our kind hostess went out of her way, amidst a very busy schedule. A warm welcome. Meeting the animals (petting zoo) was a bonus and they made for accommodating neighbours.

It was in a stunning location and it felt very homely. Everything was very clean and as an animal person, the location was perfect.

Very pleasant owner and a lovely position and a lovely lovely comfy bed 🛌 we recommend it 😀 Rob and Karen

Only down side is the shared bathroom has a hand held shower so difficult to get a good shower if you’re a larger/ taller person.

This is an amazing little find! So welcoming and the animals are all so friendly. Breakfast was lovely with lots of choice and the rooms are comfy.

This was not an issue for us, but we weren't initially aware that the bathroom was shared so I guess the lesson is 'Read what you're booking carefully!'

We had a lovely stay at Puffin Cottage. The host (Cara) was very welcoming and told us all about the petting farm she runs and how she cares for her animals. The rooms were comfortable and clean and the breakfast was delightful. Cara really is a very kind woman and the work she does is inspiring. Thank you.
