Beautiful house, we had room 4 which was excellent and worth having Clean room. Cooked breakfast was a little on the the light side compared with what others provide but place is worth staying at Two lovely lounges and on site car parking. Hostess was brilliant and lovely, would definitely look at. Handy to Thurso and John O Groats.

We were in room # 6 at Greenland House. The room had a queen and a twin bed. They had an armoire in the room for clothing. The only place to sit was in one desk chair. The beds were very comfortable.  …

This was a nicely decorated bed and breakfast and we had a warm welcome. ||Our room was quite small and we felt like we ran out of space somewhat once we had brought our small suitcases in. …

Stayed for 1 night, we wish it could have been more, Victoria kindly fitted us in last minute of which we were very grateful for..the house is beautiful, the rooms are large & comfy. Breakfast was delicious too. Castletown is a lovely small village with a very good restaurant close by..we preferred to stay outside of JOG & Wick, so this was just perfect for us. We highly reccommend & we will definitely stay again.

This beautiful, restored period house was the perfect stop for 2 nights. Our double ensuite room was gorgeous,an ample size, and so cozy with the heating, well maintained and spotless. Breakfasts were delicious and the host, Andrew, was very welcoming and accommodating. Thoroughly recommend.
