The Hawthorns B & B, hotel in John O Groats

Very easy to find as it was near to the Castle of Mey and the ferry. Extremely friendly welcome. We even had help with our luggage which we weren't expecting.. Lovely large double room with TV and tea, coffee, & hot chocolate making facilities. and ensuite shower, & WC. It was great to have our own space and not at all like an old fashioned B&B. We were asked what time we'd like a table for breakfast and then left to our own devices. There was even a table in the hall with maps, information and caramel bars to buy.

    Great location if you want to go to The Orkneys.

    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.

    The hostess was very welcoming, warm and friendly. The accommodation is just a short walk from the town up a quiet street, and only a short walk from a local hotel where they have a restaurant.The beds are very comfortable and one of the best I have slept in. I would definitely recommend puffin cottage for a quiet and comfortable stay. There is also a petting farm if you have small children.

    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.

    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!

    Transient hotel in a great location that offered what you needed for a short stay . Rooms were ok , clean and offered all you need for a brief stop over. We ate at the hotel , pub grub selection . Breakfast wasn’t the best . Not sure what happened with the beans but they tasted sour . The staff were super friendly.

    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

    Both the cottage and the setting are lovely. Spacious and comfortable with everything you need. Lots to see and do in the area. The coastal path is lovely for an after dinner walk out to John o Groats and Duncansby Ness.
