The location was ideal to be able to explore the area. The views from my room were great.
Gordon is a perfect host and gave me ideas for places to visit during my stay. The little dog Ellie is adorable.

Breakfast had a nice selection of things and freshly made bread! Host was lovely. It was nice to see the animals in the petting farm and hear about their stories. The location is wonderful,but we were so lucky with the weather!

My friend and me rode up on our motorbikes to complete the NC500 and this was one of our stays and everything and more than we expected. Great people and would recommend it to anyone who has plans to go up there.

Great location if you want to go to The Orkneys. There are also many other locations close for sight seeing from here. The view over the Pentland crossing.
Staff were very welcoming and friendly with great advice on the area.

At the edge of Scotland, the gateway to the Orkneys or a sea tour. No facilities to speak of and the nearest Tesco is a 20 minute drive, so come prepared or just pass through here. The drive up is a hazard in terms of road maintenance. .

The rooms were not cleaned and the toilet was actually full of crap so we had to call them and they cleaned it right away. The staff seemed to be overwhelmed, and the bathroom was extremely small so for one night it was not bad but can't stay for a few more days. The rooms were very cramped and when you enter the door could only be opened partially as it hit the bed. The configuration of bed placement was poor. That said, the location of this hotel was excellent and the staff were very pleasant to deal with.

Stunning sea views which could be enjoyed from inside the property or out on the deck. Excellent facilities and well maintained property, cleaned to a high standard. Hosts were friendly and very accommodating. We were left alone to enjoy our break but had support on site when needed. Superb onsite staff. Our heating had stopped working but this was resolved quickly and didn't intrude on our short break.
There were some lovely onsite gift shops. There was also a cafe which we didn't have time to visit. There is also a small post office a short walk away with a few essentials available if needed. We prepared our own food and found the kitchen facilities and equipment in the kitchen to be fantastic.
I would have preferred less outdoor lighting at night to reduce light pollution for viewing the beautiful night sky.

We went for the walking and took the John O'Groats trail. As we went on Boxing day it was all closed, but there are a few shops there worth a look.
You can drive all the way and there is parking at £3 per day.

We enjoyed a boat trip whilst at John O'Groats even though we didn't see any dolphins or whales. The local brewery with attached bar was a great place to spend an afternoon.
We enjoyed a nice evening meal at the Seaview Hotel just two minutes drive from our accommodation.
There were a few tourist gift shops where you can stock up on all your gifts for friends and family.
There is also the famous signpost where everybody has their photographs taken.
The Seaview Hotel is a great place for a stopover when visiting John O Groats. We had a lovely room with a sea view which was very comfortable. Friendly and helpful staff on hand. The bar is a lovely area to relax after a long day with excellent home cooked fayre at very reasonable prices. Although we were only there for one night, our stay was very enjoyable.
It was a perfect location for visiting John O Groats. We went during our NC500 trip and was such an easy stop. Not much around, but the restaurant in the hotel is good. There is a great petting farm next to the hotel, and plenty of sheep running in the fields around! The bed was comfortable, and the staff was very helpful and kind. Would recommend!
The owner was lovely. Picked me up from the john o groats sign and dropped me off to start my walk in the morning, without charging. Breakfast was delicious, fresh fruit, juice, ciffe and a range of cereals to chose from. The room was big, heating was warm I saw a deer from the window, and the shower was nice.
Amazing location, a small walk away from John o groats / 2 minute drive away. The property had very secure parking and the owner was nice and friendly. The cottage itself has history which is interesting, and for the price you can’t go wrong
1. Location was great. Rooms and facilities were excellent.
2. John O Groats has nice shopping and food stalls around now.
3. Excellent walks available from where we stayed.
4. The views were great, could see sunset from the room!
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.
Breakfast was provide. Dinner was very good. It was a great location. Free Parking and Free WiFi Room was a bit tight, but typical of European hotels. Very nice bathroom. Very clean. Bed was fairly comfortable.
Great location in John O Groats, easy to walk to the harbour. The room was very comfortable, and the bathroom was nice and clean. Loved visiting the animals, especially Betty and Mary! Breakfast was good too
Perfect location, lovely host, big spacious rooms, very comfy beds, could enter the petting farm as many times as you liked! We had a great stay! Also had a lovely dinner at the seaview hotel.
Hotel in a good location near to Harbour for boat trips and shops. Room a good size for a short break. Bar food was excellent with a good choice on menu and special board.
It was nicely isolated but only 5 minutes from John O Groats and ferry terminal, restaurant just down the road.
Made to feel very welcome, highly recommend.
