    Both the evening meal & breakfast were excellent & brought to your room. Kacey was a great host & the location was ideal for local ferries to Orkney. Very comfortable & relaxing stay.

    Absolutely perfect in every way. The room was cleaned every day, my two girls loved seeing how their toys were arranged on their beds when they came back from a day out. The fridge was stocked with cookies, milk and water, with a selection of fruit teas and coffee on top. Kacey was on hand with advice through WhatsApp and personally when she brought the fabulous breakfasts to our room every morning. I have never seen my kids eat so well in the morning! Beautiful views from the room, birds, trees, heather, cows, and a glimpse of the sea.

    Kacey has put together a perfect b&b. You know when you’re sitting at home, pondering about the perfect b&b? The one that you would establish yourself? Well. Ponder no more. This is it. Spotlessly clean. Comfortable. Quiet. Perfectly located. Excellent food (to order) in the evening and at breakfast. Dog friendly. Faultless.

    Dog friendly means not on furniture which I appreciate most accomodation states but extremely difficult to manage in a very small space - there is no space for dog crate or bed

    Very comfortable bed and excellent breakfast, owner very friendly.

    There is nothing about this property that we did not like. We were sad we had only planned a one night stay

    Being met by the owner on arrival. Very easu access to the room we had. Car parking on site at no cost. A lovely country view from our room. Very peacfull and quiet location but easy to get to from the main road. Now the very best part. We ordered breakfast on arrival for the next day and were informed that it would be served in our room within the breakfast time slot and picked a set time. In the room is a small table and chairs right by the window with a great view. The next morning the owner brought breakfast on a lovely trolley and we sat and had breakfast in peace and quiet. The breakfast was lovely certainly enough to start the day well. By the way an evening meal is available also served in the room but must be ordered the day before arrival, they send you a menu at time of booking for breakfast and dinner. Good selection. The room is very nicely decorated, very clean and a good size. The bed was very comfortable, bathroom very nice. We have already planned another visit next year !!! The owner is very nice and makes you feel at home right away

    Only that there was not a great deal of outside space, but location was brilliant for the ferry to orkney.

    The owner Kacey was exceptional, extremely accommodating. Our evening meal was exceptional as was the most amazing breakfast. The room was very tastefully decorated, all very eco friendly.

    The electric shower in grey suite lacks a little power but that’s very minor and only thing that wasn’t perfect.

    Burnside was ideal for our short stay whilst driving the NC500. The rooms were lovely, spacious and had great views out onto the rolling fields. The hosts were super friendly and welcoming, and very communicative. The rooms are also dog friendly and the dinner / breakfast service was fantastic. Would def stay again.

    I cannot think of any way Burnside Cottage could be better!

    A rural location - remote, but we loved that. A short drive to Dunnet head, John O'Groats, Thurso. The accommodation was so tastefully decorated and the art was fantastic. The room was spacious and comfortable, had everything we needed (and more) and the host was incredibly kind and thoughtful and helpful. We had the BEST breakfast served in our room and nothing was too much trouble for our host. Burnside Cottage is also actively committed to sustainable living and all the little touches that added elegance and comfort were still kind to our planet.
