Perfect location for the orkney car ferry
The perfect location if you want to catch the car ferry to Orkney. Literally 5 minutes away. Enough time to have breakfast and still make it with lots of time. Very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic. Awesome personal service. A great spot for star gazing if there's no clouds. Highly recommended.

This must be my favorite stay of any hotel/motel/b&b I’ve ever stayed at. Kacey is a true gem of a host and made sure that my sister and I had a great stay at her homestead/b&b. The communication leading up to our stay, the parking, the personal welcome, the design of the room and decor, the BREAKFAST! (WOW.) I wish I could have stayed at Kacey’s for the entire length of our trip. Definitely the best kept secret of the northern tip of Scotland!

Book it, you won't regret it.
Genuinely stunning. From start to finish, every aspect or our stay was fantastic. Great communication from our host Kacey, lovely welcome, beautifully decorated room (the Raven), comfortable beds, nice shower, lovely small touches like homemade biscuits. The food was divine. We also had an evening meal there and the salmon was one of the nicest meals I've had in a long time. We went for a lovely walk to watch the sunset and Burnside Cottage offered a couple of short walks to satisfy our need. We only stayed one night whilst driving the NC500, but I'd happily stay at Burnside for more if we needed to.

You won't be disappointed here
Casey is a great host and will ensure that your stay is both comfortable and refreshing. All food provided is first rate. There is no 'shared space' in terms of breakfast room, or lounge and so you are pretty much confined to quarters as everything is done on a room service basis which at first seems a little weird but on reflection works well and is ideally suited to CoVID restrictions. Try the homemade Granola it's to die for...

Burnside cottage was perfect and a great location for a couple of nights stop on the NC500. It gave us the opportunity to explore the East Coast before travelling West. The hosts were very accommodating and always on hand if we needed anything.

We had a superb time at Burnside Cottage B&B and would highly recommend staying here. The service was impeccable, homemade food was fresh and absolutely delicious (evening meals and breakfast), and Kacey went above and beyond to make sure we had a lovely stay - even providing a list of local attractions for us to explore. Thank you!

A true gem of a place to stay. The room was amazing with added extras such as milk and the best homemade cookies. The host made us feel extremely welcone and has very useful local knowledge. Breakfast and dinner, well what can I say. Some of the best food in ages. The place to stay around John o'Groats.

Amazing stay at Burnside!
My partner and I had such a lovely stay at Burnside. Kacey was incredibly welcoming and had been very responsive and helpful in the lead up to our trip. Kacey was also very accommodating - we were so knackered after our trip to Orkney that we didn't want to go out to find somewhere to eat so she kindly made us dinner on short notice which we appreciated. The room itself was lovely and has everything you need. We were the only guests, so it was very quiet. The only thing that I might suggest that would be helpful is to have information on things to do in the area with Kacey's top tips and hidden gems.

Top notch B&B
Simply stated, this is was the best B&B I have ever stayed at. It was spotless, well stocked with tea/coffee/biscuits, conveniently located, and the hosts -- Kacey and Stephen -- couldn't have been nicer. The breakfast was superb and delivered to our room. The other big bonus was the parking. We were touring Scotland via the North Coast 500 route in our classic cars. We were pleasantly surprised to see the spacious and safe on-site parking at Burnside Cottage. Overall, this was a fabulous stop which I hope I can visit again in future.
