Great stay at John o Groats! Our apartment was clean, spacious and had a stunning view! The window bench was a real highlight! Kitchen had everything we needed. After most of the tourists are gone in the afternoon the place is very nice and peaceful. There is a Fish and Chips Takeaway, a small pub with brewery to sit and drink in the evening and a distillery nearby, so almost everything needed, except a supermarket! Great base to explore the northern NC500 or the Orkneys. Would definitely recommend and come again!

As we were driving the NC 500 it was a nice break to stay away from the crowds and in the farming area. In all of our travels in Scotland the pod was the only accommodation that had microwave toaster kettle. For the small size of the accommodation it had everything. We were able to purchase a heatable meal prior to arriving for dinner. This was the only time on our 8 day road trip that we able to do this.

    John O Groats is a very small place. which sort of has to be visited if your in the area. I wouldn't rate it as a destination if it wasn't for the fact its the northern most point on mainland UK

    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.)

    Loved the location and the staff were lovely, unfortunately didnt like the breakfast it was ver small and greasy, meal in the evening though was excellent. Room was sub standard, toilet kept blocking, could barely get in and out of shower as gap so small, window wouldnt close and room had no clothes storage and only one bedside table, very small and stuffy also. Would not stay here again

    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.

    The room size and location was just right. A short walk to John O'Groats signpost in a very safe and friendly area. The shared kitchen facilities had everything I needed, always handy to have access to a fridge. The tea/coffee station and crisps in the bedroom was a lovely addition. Plenty of parking, easy to get parked. I was recommended to book dinner at a local hotel and that was lovely too!

    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.

    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.

    The hotel is in a really nice location just a short walk from the John o groats sign where there are also a few cafes and shops. The hotel itself is pretty basic but suited our needs of a one night stay. The breakfast was nice with a choice of hot food items including a vegetarian breakfast.

    Both the cottage and the setting are lovely. Spacious and comfortable with everything you need. Lots to see and do in the area. The coastal path is lovely for an after dinner walk out to John o Groats and Duncansby Ness.
