I booked this B&B for one night after reading all the good reviews. It looked good and I was looking forward to the coastal and sea views. There was a room with a 4 poster bed which I thought might be bit quirky, so I booked it. …

Sandra was so lovely and we were made to feel really welcome. Nothing was too much bother, and she definitely goes the extra mile for her guests. The views are amazing, as was the breakfast. Beds were very comfortable too, and I would definitely recommend a visit.

Fantastic place to stay. The views were just stunning. We had the room with a four poster bed and our own bathroom. It was all spotless. As soon as we arrived Sandra made us a pot of tea and we sat in the sitting room. We met Sandie and he was so interesting to talk to. Breakfast was excellent. Would definitely recommend.

A very comfortable and welcoming stay, with Tunnocks teacakes in the room and fresh milk. En suite. Bed very comfortable. Views over the fields to the coast. It's only small, with three rooms, so quiet. Plenty of parking. Good breakfast in the morning. ||There's nowhere nearby to eat a meal, so eat before arriving or go to Wick.
