"Für uns wichtig ist die voll ausgestattete Küche inkl Messbecher und Waage. Genügend Geschirr und Gläser. Einzig eine neue Bratpfanne ist längst überfällig. Ausreichend Frottétücher, Decken und Kissen. Heizung funktioniert sehr gut. Eine Gummilippe haben wir für die Dusche hinterlassen, da sehr viel Wasser nicht abläuft und es schlecht austrocknet. Wir würden wieder kommen."

"Fantastic stay at John O Groats. We had booked a double ensuite room which looked lovely. When we arrived the manager was waiting for us to ask if we would mind if they upgraded our room as the heating wasnt wasnt working. Obviously we didnt mind. Imagine our surprise when we were shown to our upgraded room. They had given us a three bedroomed, two bathroom lodge which was amazing. Warm, comfortable clean and pur luxury. We settled down by the logburner to watch the sea through the huge windows....

Greenland House B&B

Greenland House B&B

5/5 Excellent
Greenland House B&B on the NC500
"Amazing stay at the Greenland House B&B. Our host was professional and attentive to details. Breakfast was delirious. Our room had a private bathroom, it was on the 1st floor (in America we call it the 2nd floor), it was clean and comfortable. The B&B was tastefully decorated and beautifully maintained. It is located on the NC500, easy to find, located near too many tourist attractions and historical sites to mention!"
