Beautiful B&B with the friendliest hosts. Michael picked us up from the train station and dropped us off at the ferry terminal early in the morning. The rooms were amazingly good value for money and everything was spotless. Karen made us a lovely breakfast in the morning. Both Karen and Michael couldn’t have been more helpful or welcoming - just what was needed after a long trip up from Dover. Definitely the best B&B we’ve stayed in and there have been quite a few. Thank you very much indeed.

A wonderful night’s sleep in a comfortable and beautifully appointed room with a bay window view out to the Orkneys. A magnificent breakfast to start the day. Michael is a welcoming host. We would most definitely stay here again. Fully recommend staying here.

Lovely home and location. Our issue was with the room heating. We believe the main service was shut down during the night and then turned back on. We were very cold in the upper front room with the strong winds off the sea. The owner apologized but said there was nothing he could do about it?????

Fantastic stay here with Karen and Michael warmly greeted and settled in before a walk down the town.Michael told us of a couple of eating places so booked a table in a restaurant called Y NOT and turned out to be excellent choice.Our room had a great sea view and we were able to look over at the ferries coming and going with the set of binoculars michael had set out.Only the one night stay as part of our NC500 trip and Karen made sure we had a hearty breakfast before we set of again.Lovely couple and would highly recommend their property to anyone.

Stayed for just 1 night at this B & B. We were made very welcome by the friendly owners ( Michael & Karen). We stayed in Holborn, which was a lovely, comfortable room, with a Seaview. Dunnet Head and Orkney visible.|Breakfast was wonderful. Would highly recommend.
