The location was central to the ferry to the Orkneys, which is the reason we wanted to be in John O'Groats. The breakfast was lovely, fresh baked bread and cereals. The petting zoo was amazing and an additional perk. It was lovely to look out the window and see the animals

Kacey is extremely friendly and very responsive. We enjoy our stay very much. Hospitality is top notch as she makes a point to to check in on us. It might be a bit to locate but Kacey gave good instructions. Follow it and you will get to this wonderful cottage. Breakfast is really sumptuous and big thumbs up. The selections are really one of the best we have ever had. Home made peanut granola is awesome!! Make sure to try it!!! Room is huge, clean and comfortable!!

The views were incredible, and enjoying the firepit in the brisk Scottish weather was a treat in and of itself. Communication was super fast and responsive! It was super cozy, the cabin was clean and stayed warm despite the wind and the rain. Really made our honeymoon trip around Scotland something special!

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.

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!

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.

Location was excellent. The house and neighbouring mill are beautiful with incredible view and both kids and dog loved the easy walk around the seaside to John O Groats. Lots to see in the area. Kitchen very well equipped. Loved that by staying at the cottage we were helping history and the renovation of the old mill.
