    Totally recommend for a flash stay

    Comfortable beds, welcoming hostess, and free parking made my one-night family stay truly enjoyable, as the accommodation is a short walk from the town and offers excellent amenities like free wi-fi and an electric kettle.

    Totally content.

    The room was comfortable, and the location near John O' Groats was perfect. Enjoyed the cute layout of breakfast and the petting farm added a lovely touch. the shared bathroom setup was a bit of a drawback, and a TV in the room would have made it better.

    limited dining options
    noise from area

    Staying in the Standard Twin Room with a Sea View was delightful. The beds were among the most comfortable I've ever experienced, guaranteeing a restful night. Breakfast offered a variety of choices, including a freshly baked loaf and an egg boiling machine, which added a nice touch. The proximity to local attractions, like the signpost and a petting zoo, made for enjoyable outings, although the shared bathroom could be a minor inconvenience for some.

    limited options

    I had a lovely stay at Puffin Cottage! The room offered a fantastic sea view and was impeccably clean. The breakfast provided fresh bread, although options were somewhat limited. The only minor drawback was the lack of a traditional shower in the bathroom. a delightful experience!

    comfy bed
    fresh bread

    will definitely go back there again

    Had the double room with a sea view. Super comfy bed, big enough to move around with all my stuff. The breakfast spread was awesome, with lots of choices like fresh bread and an egg cooker. The place is really clean and bright. It’s just a 5 min walk to the iconic John o' Groats signpost and a cute petting zoo.

    Cozy cottage vibe!

    We had a fab stay in the double room with a sea view. The decorations were so nice, and we loved hearing all the animals in the morning. Cara was super friendly and made us feel at home. Just wish the double bed was bigger. we’re used to more space. The little petting farm outside? Such a fun touch!

    great location
    friendly staff

    We had a warm welcome at Puffin Cottage. The Double Room with Sea View was clean and comfy. The bed was just right, ensuring a great night's sleep. Breakfast was self-service with various cereals and freshly made bread, which was delicious. The petting farm added a fun touch, especially with a lamb born that morning!

    None worth mentioning.

    cozy atmosphere
    freshly baked bread
    shared bathroom

    The Double Room with Sea View offers a clean, cozy atmosphere with nice ocean views. Breakfast features a self-service setup with cereals and warm, freshly baked bread which hit the spot.

    Shared bathrooms are a bit of a hassle, especially with no shower available, just a bath that needs time to fill. The absence of entertainment after 6 PM can feel isolating without a TV or activities. Public transport's infrequency makes it tricky to navigate this remote area, so keep your plans very organized to avoid long waits.

    Nice
    6.0

    Ocean views from the rooms deliver a picturesque scenery that soothes the senses. The WiFi connection holds up for streaming, which is a lifesaver for movie nights after a long day out.

    Shared bathroom setup lacks a proper shower, making quick freshening up a hassle. only a bath with time constraints. Stairs spiral and can be tricky to navigate, especially with luggage. The room's sloped ceiling offers minimal headspace, adding to the sense of confinement, and the beds are comfy but could use longer doonas. A refrigerator in the room would be handy for snacks, and the early breakfast times don’t cater well to early risers.

    The charming decor at Puffin Cottage is absolutely delightful, with whimsical touches that made me feel right at home. The bright breakfast room is a lovely space to enjoy a meal while soaking in the welcoming atmosphere.

    I had a lovely time at Puffin Cottage. The Double Room with Sea View offered a stunning view that I couldn't get enough of. The bed felt just right, very comfortable. Breakfast featured a self-service setup with cereal and warm, freshly made bread – a perfect start to my day. The petting farm was a delightful surprise, especially with a lamb born that morning, which brought a smile to my face. the check-in time felt a bit restrictive, though the host managed to accommodate me with a warm welcome. I had to share the bathroom, which was clean but created a little inconvenience at times. I enjoyed my stay but felt the check-in timing could improve.
