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.

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.

A fantastic, unique stay to add your list of places to visit when touring through Scotland. The location was easy to find as it's relatively near to the road, but you cannot hear any road noise while inside. The views from the property are breathtaking, overlooking the sea, where you feel completely cut off from the world. The lodge has all the amenities you need. Communication and self-check-in were also very easy.

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.)

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!

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 😊

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.
