The hosts were absolutely wonderful. We had to leave early in the morning and wouldn’t be able to have breakfast and they brought some nice items for us the night before that we could quickly eat. Location was good for our stay and is very close to Castle Mey which we visited.

The hosts were excellent and breakfast was fresh and plentiful. Parking is plentiful. Do get supplies before arriving as there are no shops nearby. Great location, close to John o Groat and access to NC500.

The Hawthornes is a lovely rural B and B near the very northern tip of mainland Scotland. The garden is very attractive. The hosts are very sweet and accommodating. Our room was simple but very functional and quiet. Breakfast was ample, tasty, and made-to-order. The only minus about the inn is that the internet speed in that region is extremely slow, as our host explained to us.

Good B&B, friendly owners
Good B&B. Very friendly owners, very eco-friendly. They rang a local restaurant for us to make a dinner reservation. Lots of little extras in the room, like a Nespresso machine and fridge. Good choice for breakfast, including smoked salmon. Gave us advice as to where to visit.

Such a nice place to stay! We needed a place close to John O'Groats and this place was perfect. The hosts were so hospitable, my husband and I loved talking with them. The room was clean and comfy, and we had no issues with the room. The hosts even were willing to do a load of laundry for us which saved us hours from having to find a laundromat! We were so, so pleased with this place. Can't recommend it enough.

Very welcoming and accommodating hosts! Pleasant conversation and great suggestions for our trip! Extremely willing to make us as comfortable as possible. Room was well laid out with everything you need. House is very close to the Castle of Mey, Gill’s Bay Ferry and John O’Groats for some cheesy souvenirs. The Castle Arms was a great option for dinner, walking distance from the house. Our hosts even booked us a reservation prior to our arrival. One less thing for us to worry about! Comfortable place to lay your head and excellent hospitable hosts!
