Very cramped room. Staff were helpful. Food is good. Easy walk to the Ferry and John o Groats township. Aaron's of Wick bus will drop you at the door and pick you up from there.

We stayed in one of the hotel pods and found it ideal and adequate for our requirements. The pod was spacious, comfortable and clean fresh bedding was provided. A clean, fresh toilet was next door and the hotel was welcoming in the evening for drinks, staff were friendly and we set off the next morning after receiving a hearty full Scottish breakfast. Very happy with this place.

Absolutely perfect overnight stay. We stayed in Pod 1 which included breakfast for £75. The pods are clean and the beds comfortable. The bed was made up with fresh clean linen. Towels were also included. The pods are basic, but clean and comfortable for an overnight stay. We had an evening meal which was excellent and a full Scottish breakfast which was included in the price..The toilet and showers are in a separate pod, but we're also very clean. Lots of plug sockets if you want to take a travel kettle. All in all friendly, welcoming staff, good food and a great stopover.

We stayed in room 2. The cost, even tough I booked direct was £140.00 and very poor value. took the pillow case of to straighten the pillow and it was dirty and stained. The room was small, the shower tiny and on the floor of the bathroom were balls of fluff. the dressing table was small, like a child's size and the wall mounted TV was the approximately 14 inch screen. There was mould on the bathroom skirting board and the windowsill in the bedroom had black areas where the paint had peeled. The full breakfast was just warm and the black pudding was so hard it surely had been reheated or recooked to be be like charcoal. It was very disappointing to make the 700 miles trip from Bedfordshire to have such a substandard experience. Bring back Travelodge, where I stayed on the way home!.

Positive: Good food in the restaurant and helpful servers. Negative: The room (we booked a Deluxe King room with satellite tv) was poor value for money. The room and en-suite only had basic facilities and the tv did not work. Communications with staff about this were unhelpful and ultimately we would not return.

This hotel is very near to John O' Groats without being there, so is convenient and not as busy. However it has very limited parking along the front of the property which serves both hotel guests and visitors to the restaurant, so it gets full and there isn't really anywhere else to park. It's a large restaurant and we'd booked early, so we got served quickly. The food was OK for the price

Didn't actually stay here and probably wouldn't judging by our experience in the restaurant. Not the best looking of places and decor in the restaurant was very plane and unwelcoming. Food however was great and cheap for what we had. Staff looked like lost sheep from the field opposite and didn't seem to have any conversational skills even when I tried to start one. It was just 'can I take your order please'. Busy place but more due to lack of anything else in the area in my opinion.
