“We were in The Shore room 14, not part of main property which was still great except for the staining from water damage on the ceiling directly over the head of the bed. ”

“The owner was very friendly and the room was spacious, clean and tidy. It was very comfortable. Breakfast was good, too. Very good stay experience, unfortunately only booked one night, hope to have the chance to visit kirkwall again”
“Brilliant room, great view and clean. Water bottle was welcome touch for those of us who don't drink hot drinks.
Only negative was the bed was a bit lumpy, but nothing to stop me sleeping. ”
“This was the nicest hotel we’ve stayed in so far!!! Looks like they just renovated. They recommended well in advance that dinner reservations should be made and the best place to park the vehicle. 5 big stars!!!”
“Very accommodating and friendly host, nothing was too much trouble. Our dogs were also made to feel very welcome!
Bed was very comfortable and the room was clean and warm. Breakfast was amazing, nicest haggis I’ve ever tasted. ”
“Superb location in the centre of Kirkwall.
Perfect for the two of us.
There was an allocated parking spot for this particular apartment just out side of the front door, but someone else was parked in it for our entire stay.
This is just a comment, not a complaint, as there was additional free parking near by which we used instead.”
“Very spacious accommodations, near to anything you could want, within a block of the High street. Owner was very responsive and helpful when we contacted him! Ver much appreciated this!!”
“Great place to stay , just to get away from it all, with the sea & walks right on your doorstep. We couldn't ask for anything more.
Thank you
Adam & Sylvia”
“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.……
