modern decor, convenient access to local attractions, well-presented meals

Bathroom layout felt cramped!!! There could be more guidance on local points of interest!!! The sound from adjacent bathrooms was disruptive, especially during the night!!!

Modern decor that beautifully balances traditional charm.

The bathroom layout felt cramped despite having an en suite.

The sea view room was spacious and beautifully decorated, providing a cozy atmosphere. Breakfast options included oatmeal, and the food was well-cooked and nicely presented. the bathroom was quite cramped, and there was no heating due to a defective radiator. noise from adjacent bathrooms made it difficult to relax at night.

The food offered was excellent with superb homemade cakes complementing a lovely breakfast. The room was small with limited hanging space and the bathroom felt cramped, lacking heating due to a defective radiator. Despite these issues, the powerful shower was a highlight, providing a refreshing experience after a long day.

The en suite rooms offer the advantage of privacy, adding convenience after a long journey. The food served, whether lunch or dinner, consistently hits the mark for freshness and quality, particularly the ploughman’s and curry.

The Standard King Double Room felt cramped, with the bathroom door opening awkwardly against the bed, severely limiting space. Navigating the small bathroom became a bit of a challenge, especially with the shower cubicle blocking access to the sink. the lack of a proper lift was an inconvenience, especially for older guests. The handrail along the staircase design leaves much to be desired, as it's difficult to grip, potentially increasing the risk for anyone who needs support while climbing stairs.

The Standard King Double Room was really comfortable and spacious. I loved the cozy vibe and how everything felt clean and well-maintained. It had decent views too, which was a nice bonus. Plus, the USB charging ports were super handy! The only downside was that there was no elevator, which could be tricky if you had a lot of luggage. nice place to crash after a day out!

Lovely, lovely, lovely.

My stay was nothing short of delightful! The delicious food options really showcased local flavors, with the haggis and seafood being absolute highlights. Plus, the view of the breathtaking Dunnet Bay was the cherry on top of my cozy room experience!

100% recommend 🥰🌟

great location for visiting fery and the n500. room size was fine with comfy bed, and breakfast was generous n good quality. the staff were super friendly and helpful. the bar had great real ale, which was a nice touch.

the food could use some improvement, and the internet wasn't that reliable in my room.

Stunning views and cozy atmosphere

Our stay was highlighted by breathtaking views of the beach from our cozy room, making our experience even more special. The dining options were delightful, particularly the generous breakfast selection that kept us energized for our adventures. a bit more attention to the cleanliness of the restrooms would enhance the overall experience.

I had a wonderful stay. The rooms are spacious and clean. Breakfast offered a generous variety. The staff went above and beyond. The location is perfect for exploring nearby cliffs.

Just a reliable pick for a brief stopover in Dunnet with fantastic value for money. The full Scottish breakfast was hearty and delicious, setting us up for the day. Make sure to arrive early if you want dinner options before they run out.

Food and staff were top-notch!

Had a lovely meal here with my partner. The seafood platter was fresh and soooo good! The staff were super friendly and made us feel welcome. The room was decent, but it could use a bit more lighting. great place to chill after a long drive. Definitely coming back for that real ale!

Oh, the desserts at Northern Sands are a must-try! From the perfectly crafted sweet treats to the juicy local dishes, my taste buds were in paradise! Plus, the breakfast options were generous and delicious, setting a great tone for the day. The staff's friendliness was another highlight, going above and beyond to cater to our every need.

The bathroom was a bit cramped, making the experience less than ideal, and I did hear some fan noise from nearby rooms, but it wasn't enough to dampen my spirits.

incredibly friendly staff create a warm atmosphere with delcious breakfasts

Exceptional dining experience with attentive staff.

Totally recommend for a passing visit

Comfortable room, friendly staff, made our stay truly enjoyable with their warm hospitality and excellent breakfast choices, including fabulous haggis and sausage. it's also a great location if you're planning to catch the early ferry to the Orkneys from nearby John O'Groats.

Couldn’t have been happier.
