We didn’t stay at the hotel but we were staying at a nearby B&B whose hosts recommended we try here for dinner. We were not disappointed! The lounge bar was very quiet when we arrived and our order was taken immediately. …

Absolutely stunning, would highly recommend! We were looking for something close to John O'Groats and found this.We rented a huge apartment - 3 double bedrooms, one family bathroom, one shower room, ensuite to one of the double bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen and utility room and beautiful lounge. All immaculate and quite recently refurbished.We didn't eat at the pub downstairs as we would leave the apartment in the morning and came back late at night, but reviews look great for the food as well!Well done to the owners and staff and thanks so much for having us 😊P.S.: a few pics we took right before we checked out 🤭

We had an evening meal here not long after new management took over. We enjoyed three courses and could not fault anything. …

We were staying in a B&B along the road and decided to have an evening meal here. We didn't regret it. The food was very good and the staff really friendly. I had the fish and chip deal for a Thursday, fish, chips and mushy peas with a pint for £9.95! Excellent value.||Well worth a visit.

This hotel was recommended to us by a local for dinner. The pub opened at 5:00 and served dinner from 6:00. Decor was dated as we were warned. We were surprised by the variety of food available and both decided on the salmon. …

Recently refurbed, not luxurious, but clean, welcoming and friendly. The "Scrabster Landed" fish was beautiful & best fish & chips I've had in a long time. Good curry and burger items on the menu with fresh salad and some vegetarian options. Great local, no frills but good quality place. Brilliant.Edit: Keiss Fried Chicken (KFC!) also very good
