The accommodation is well apportioned with everything you will need. The view from the front window is stunning and there are good local walks for dogs (or people). We were very kindly provided with bread, coffee, tea bags etc on arrival, and Sandy and Gemma very kindly had a birthday card and birthday cake waiting on my arrival. This was extremely kind and generous. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lodge and hope to return one day. John O' Groats, Thurso and Wick are all well within transport and provide everything you could want. Highly recommended for a wonderful peaceful holiday.
