We loved our brief stay at Burnside cottage. Close to the ferry at Gills Bay for the next morning. Kacey was so welcoming & the food amongst the best we sampled throughout our stay in Scotland! Even when my daughter left her favourite toy behind, Kacey posted it on to us! Thoughtful & great customer service.

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.

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.)

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.

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.

After 14 days on the road riding LEJOG this was the best welcome and place to stay. Just perfect. Better than the 4 star hotel and a thousand times more welcoming. Thank you for looking after a cold wet me and a filthy bike so we'll 😊

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.
