This was the very best Bed & Breakfast that we have ever stayed in, the owners not only went the extra mile to ensure you had everything you could possibly need, they exceeded it! Such a comfy bed, nice spacious room, delicious breakfast and at such a bargain price. Five stars all the way.

Met on arrival by host and shown around. Only a single night stay so not a lot to say really. Host very friendly and chatty. Excellent breakfast freshly cooked was the highlight. If I visit this corner of Scotland again I would certainly book again.

A friendly, comfortable and well appointed B&B.

We felt very much at home straightaway from the hosts’ effusive welcome. The room was well appointed and comfortable with everything required. The shower was great and breakfast very good. Great to have ample, on site parking. All in all a really good overnight stay, highly recommended.

The host and hostess were very welcoming and friendly. The room was spacious and clean. Parking was in the property forecourt. The breakfast was well prepared and plentiful. The only issue was finding somewhere to dine. The local hotel could not accommodate us on the two occasions that we tried. The nearest was either Northern Sands or Castletown hotel both of which were a number of miles away.

The hosts were excellent and breakfast was fresh and plentiful. Parking is plentiful. Do get supplies before arriving as there are no shops nearby. Great location, close to John o Groat and access to NC500.

The hosts were absolutely wonderful. We had to leave early in the morning and wouldn’t be able to have breakfast and they brought some nice items for us the night before that we could quickly eat. Location was good for our stay and is very close to Castle Mey which we visited.

This was just an overnight after driving up from Dornoch and getting on the ferry to Orkney at Gills Bay the next morning. However Eilean and Graeme greeted us in the parking area and helped us move into our room. Provided us with lots of info on their property and where to eat. Our room was very comfortable and breakfast in the morning had lots of variety and our choices were delicious.

Good B&B, friendly owners

Good B&B. Very friendly owners, very eco-friendly. They rang a local restaurant for us to make a dinner reservation. Lots of little extras in the room, like a Nespresso machine and fridge. Good choice for breakfast, including smoked salmon. Gave us advice as to where to visit.

Such a nice place to stay! We needed a place close to John O'Groats and this place was perfect. The hosts were so hospitable, my husband and I loved talking with them. The room was clean and comfy, and we had no issues with the room. The hosts even were willing to do a load of laundry for us which saved us hours from having to find a laundromat! We were so, so pleased with this place. Can't recommend it enough.
