Everything was top-notch and stylish. Eco-credentials are much appreciated. Lovely dinners and breakfasts, all locally sourced produce. We took our dog, and he was very welcome; he got extra special treats! Location: 3 minutes from the Orkney Ferry.

The location was great, peaceful and quiet. Debbie was very friendly and welcoming. The pod was comfortable for a couple plus dog and was well appointed including breakfast goodies and milk. The separate wash pod was also well designed and laid out.

My friend and me rode up on our motorbikes to complete the NC500 and this was one of our stays and everything and more than we expected. Great people and would recommend it to anyone who has plans to go up there.

Great location if you want to go to The Orkneys. There are also many other locations close for sight seeing from here. The view over the Pentland crossing.
Staff were very welcoming and friendly with great advice on the area.

At the edge of Scotland, the gateway to the Orkneys or a sea tour. No facilities to speak of and the nearest Tesco is a 20 minute drive, so come prepared or just pass through here. The drive up is a hazard in terms of road maintenance. .

The rooms were not cleaned and the toilet was actually full of crap so we had to call them and they cleaned it right away. The staff seemed to be overwhelmed, and the bathroom was extremely small so for one night it was not bad but can't stay for a few more days. The rooms were very cramped and when you enter the door could only be opened partially as it hit the bed. The configuration of bed placement was poor. That said, the location of this hotel was excellent and the staff were very pleasant to deal with.

Stunning sea views which could be enjoyed from inside the property or out on the deck. Excellent facilities and well maintained property, cleaned to a high standard. Hosts were friendly and very accommodating. We were left alone to enjoy our break but had support on site when needed. Superb onsite staff. Our heating had stopped working but this was resolved quickly and didn't intrude on our short break.
There were some lovely onsite gift shops. There was also a cafe which we didn't have time to visit. There is also a small post office a short walk away with a few essentials available if needed. We prepared our own food and found the kitchen facilities and equipment in the kitchen to be fantastic.
I would have preferred less outdoor lighting at night to reduce light pollution for viewing the beautiful night sky.

We went for the walking and took the John O'Groats trail. As we went on Boxing day it was all closed, but there are a few shops there worth a look.
You can drive all the way and there is parking at £3 per day.

We enjoyed a boat trip whilst at John O'Groats even though we didn't see any dolphins or whales. The local brewery with attached bar was a great place to spend an afternoon.
We enjoyed a nice evening meal at the Seaview Hotel just two minutes drive from our accommodation.
There were a few tourist gift shops where you can stock up on all your gifts for friends and family.
There is also the famous signpost where everybody has their photographs taken.
staff were very accommodating, for us having two dogs they were very welcomed by all staff.
the room was perfect for views. perfect for location right next to the passenger ferry to Orkney and the famous John o’groats sign.
even though the hotel is on a main busy road, we never heard much noise at all.
bed was comfy, room was clean.
I would definitely stay here again.
The Seaview Hotel is a great place for a stopover when visiting John O Groats. We had a lovely room with a sea view which was very comfortable. Friendly and helpful staff on hand. The bar is a lovely area to relax after a long day with excellent home cooked fayre at very reasonable prices. Although we were only there for one night, our stay was very enjoyable.
We had a great time here. The B&B is situated a 5 minute walk from the famous John O’Groats signpost, and 2 minutes from the Seaview Hotel (restaurant/bar). The room and bathroom were exceptionally clean and Cara was an amazing host. The breakfast was tasty, consisting of cereal, homemade bread and boiled eggs. The petting farm made it extra special.
Superb location with a hotel close by to eat. Perfect for a family visiting with children as rooms and shared bathroom would be ideal. Breakfast was help yourself with great variety of cereals and the most beautiful bread. Cook your own eggs were also so fresh and tasty. Farm looked great but can’t comment as no time to visit. Kids would love it.
It was a perfect location for visiting John O Groats. We went during our NC500 trip and was such an easy stop. Not much around, but the restaurant in the hotel is good. There is a great petting farm next to the hotel, and plenty of sheep running in the fields around! The bed was comfortable, and the staff was very helpful and kind. Would recommend!
Location was excellent. The house and neighbouring mill are beautiful with incredible view and both kids and dog loved the easy walk around the seaside to John O Groats. Lots to see in the area. Kitchen very well equipped. Loved that by staying at the cottage we were helping history and the renovation of the old mill.
Despite the near monopoly it has in the area, the hotel is very welcoming, well maintained and a pleasure to stay at.
Have to say that the shower in our room (#26) ranks amongst the best have ever had anywhere in terms of Power, Temp Control and Cleanliness.
Gordon was wonderful. He grew up in the hotel business and does his best to make guest feel comfortable - including give lifts to the Orkney ferry to save us a mile walk. He even put our ferry tickets on his card when our transaction online failed. our hero
Amazing location, a small walk away from John o groats / 2 minute drive away. The property had very secure parking and the owner was nice and friendly. The cottage itself has history which is interesting, and for the price you can’t go wrong
1. Location was great. Rooms and facilities were excellent.
2. John O Groats has nice shopping and food stalls around now.
3. Excellent walks available from where we stayed.
4. The views were great, could see sunset from the room!
Warm welcome, Gordon gave us his phone to book a table for dinner at a hotel he recommended
Free parking ,free WiFi
Good continental breakfast plenty of it.
Ideal stopover for John O Groats viewpoint and Duncansby Stacks
Great location in John O Groats, easy to walk to the harbour. The room was very comfortable, and the bathroom was nice and clean. Loved visiting the animals, especially Betty and Mary! Breakfast was good too
The place is stunning and the hosts are fab. Brekky so good. Gail is lovely and goes above and beyond to ensure you have a lovely stay. If you’re staying in John O Groats then this is the only place to stay!
Great location and breakfast. Room was as expected for the price / location as a sea based hotel it gets heavily used so the rooms are not going to be the best. The room served its purpose
It was nicely isolated but only 5 minutes from John O Groats and ferry terminal, restaurant just down the road.
Made to feel very welcome, highly recommend.
