Everything here is well thought out, it is obvious this couple have been doing this for a while. Amazing breakfast, very roomy and comfortable space. Excellent spot to stay and explore the area.
The hosts were absolutely wonderful. We had to leave early in the morning and wouldn’t be able to have breakfast and they brought some nice items for us the night before that we could quickly eat. Location was good for our stay and is very close to Castle Mey which we visited.
The hosts were excellent and breakfast was fresh and plentiful. Parking is plentiful. Do get supplies before arriving as there are no shops nearby. Great location, close to John o Groat and access to NC500.
Lovely host, charming and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and the property was well laid out with lots of thoughtful touches. Breakfast was great too.
The Hawthornes is a lovely rural B and B near the very northern tip of mainland Scotland. The garden is very attractive. The hosts are very sweet and accommodating. Our room was simple but very functional and quiet. Breakfast was ample, tasty, and made-to-order. The only minus about the inn is that the internet speed in that region is extremely slow, as our host explained to us.
After a warm and friendly welcome, we were shown our room and given all info required. Cleanliness and comfort ticked boxes. Everything you need provided. Breakfast lovely. Definitely recommend.
Good B&B. Very friendly owners, very eco-friendly. They rang a local restaurant for us to make a dinner reservation. Lots of little extras in the room, like a Nespresso machine and fridge. Good choice for breakfast, including smoked salmon. Gave us advice as to where to visit.
Lovely accommodation within driving distance of ferries to Orkney restaurants and towns. Outstanding hosts who think of everything and provide a wonderful breakfast.
The BnB was perfect, our host and hostess very welcoming and helpful. They found and reserved a place for dinner for us that night. Parking was easy. Everything worked and breakfast was great!! Thank you
Such a nice place to stay! We needed a place close to John O'Groats and this place was perfect. The hosts were so hospitable, my husband and I loved talking with them. The room was clean and comfy, and we had no issues with the room. The hosts even were willing to do a load of laundry for us which saved us hours from having to find a laundromat! We were so, so pleased with this place. Can't recommend it enough.
Very welcoming and accommodating hosts! Pleasant conversation and great suggestions for our trip! Extremely willing to make us as comfortable as possible. Room was well laid out with everything you need. House is very close to the Castle of Mey, Gill’s Bay Ferry and John O’Groats for some cheesy souvenirs. The Castle Arms was a great option for dinner, walking distance from the house. Our hosts even booked us a reservation prior to our arrival. One less thing for us to worry about! Comfortable place to lay your head and excellent hospitable hosts!
Just a stop over whilst travelling NC500, very friendly hosts and very humerous, welcomed us on arrival and booked a restaurant for us up the road, room very cosy and breakfast was lovely, will definitely stay here again when in the area and recommend to any other traveller to stop over whilst passing by
Very welcoming hosts, eager to please. Excellent breakfast. Accommodation as described. A few amusing little notes around the place too. Definitely looking to be eco conscious.
