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.

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!
