Great place to stay

House is well-appointed & roomy, lacks nothing. Very convenient location for visits to Wick, John O’Groats & the NC500. We had a cracking time!

Lovely house, plenty of room for all 7 of us (three couples and one single) everything very clean, friendly and approachable host. The laundry room was very useful, the kitchen a good size with great pots and pans. All in all, we were very happy with our stay. Thanks to Jenny and Andrew

Comfortable house outside Thurso

The house is well-equipped, with a lovely conservatory. It is close to the road, but there was not too much traffic. I would have liked to stay longer, but we were on our way to Orkney.

Lovely farm home with a great location

We chose this property because it was perfectly located for hiking along the John O’Groats Trail and accessing the ferries to Orkney. The house was spotless and spacious. It had an upstairs with 3 bedrooms and a bath which we didn’t even use. The kitchen had everything we needed; loved the washer and dryer. The host was super accessible- not that we needed her.
