"I loved the remoteness of this wee cottage. If you’re looking for somewhere quiet, with lots of lovely walks, then this is ideal. The cottage is powered by a generator, which you can hear but soon get used to. Make sure you bring everything you need, it’s a fair trek to the nearest shop! My dog ran around the forest all day long and slept all night and I chilled out with a glass or two of wine. I hope to visit again in the not too distant future."

"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....

"Loved bathroom. Big, spacious with 6 ft tub and separate shower. Not expected at this price point. Convenient electrical outlets with one by bed and two by the desk. Great lighting. More attention to details in cleaning would have been nice. Not dirty, but the dusting and floors could have had a little more carefully. Overall, enjoyed and would stay again. "

1/5 Terrible
"This was not nice- the place felt like a converted hostel. There was an unpleasant smell and no one showered there as everything was just a bit dirty. Half of the light bulbs were burnt out and the laundry was broken. No soap for the shower and rusted towel racks. The sink stopper was broken and it makes it difficult with the separate hot and cold taps. Really overall not a happy experience. If I have one good thing to say, the beds are large and comfortable, but the pillows were not particularly plentiful or full. Would not return. Very disappointed!"
