The accommodation met all expectations prior to booking. The room booked had typical British charm. The hostess was extremely accommodating and super friendly. The surrounding ambiance, the farm, is also an attraction and a welcome change from the usual touristic hotel monotony. Initial concerns about the bathroom, which has to be shared with other guests, proved to be unfounded. It was no problem at all. A lovely stay that certainly deserves an extension.

Absolutely amazing place. Beautiful view from the window to the sea. The surroundings are very quiet and perfect for a walk in nature. There is a small pub near the hotel with good beer and whiskey. Recommend staying more than one night. It's a shame that the apartment doesn't have a balcony, because breakfast on the balcony at sunrise and the sound of the sea would be absolute perfection. We visited this place in early October and the weather was perfect.

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.

We loved everything about Glen Lodge! The pod was charmingly decorated. We loved the puffin theme. :) Everything was well thought out and in great condition. We have stayed in a couple of pods on our NC500 trip and Glen Lodge was by far the best. We would definitely and gladly rebook! Yes, be aware that there are no large supermarkets in walking distance, but that is the case for most of the Highlands, and a big Tesco is only a 15 minute car drive away.

The John O'Groats visitor centre has a range of shops and eateries aimed at tourists. The parking fee is £3.50, but you can stay all day. The cafes tend to close early - from 5pm to around 6.30. After that there is only the Seaview Hotel. The centre wasn't as crowded as I thought it might be and we were able to take photos at the iconic sign post. We took a walk along to Duncansby Head. It was too late in the season for nesting birds (no puffins!) but the views were spectacular. (See Wikipedia for more info.)

We were there the end of April and basically nothing was open yet. Our only dinner choice was a fish and chips food truck that stopped taking orders at 18,30. The cafe that serves coffee and food didnt open till 10,00, so if you need to leave before then keep it in mind. Other than that, it is a beautiful location, just from the pier we saw many seals and otters. The trip to the lighthouse and walk from there to the stacks was incredible, we saw a few puffins nesting in the cliffs. I wish we had had more time to explore the area and beaches.

Location is ideal for visiting John O Groats. The host was very friendly and the breakfast in the morning came with freshly baked bread. The petting farm is cute and well worth checking out the animals. The nearest pub/restaurant is walking distance. Although shared bathroom, that is only with another booking and it did not cause a problem. I would recommend Puffin Cottage.

We really enjoyed our stay at John O Groats Hotel. The staff were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. The hotel is quite old but our room was clean and cosy, if a little small. Meals were all tasty. The hotel is well positioned for exploring the area and we undertook a fabulous walk along the spectacular coastline south of the lighthouse.

Loved our stay here. Well equipped apartment with space to relax and to eat at a table. The view out to sea was stunning. The location was perfect we could enjoy the Whisky and real ale in John O Groats and walk back to the apartment. Excellent cafe and other food outlets mean you don't have to cook if you don't want to.

Excellent location to visit John O Groats. It was good to have access to a kitchen which meant I did not have to eat out all of the time which keeps costs down.
