The location of the place is just amazing! I loved the super comfortable bed, and the apartment had everything we needed — fully equipped, warm, cozy, and really welcoming. A really nice place to return!

The location was very relaxing and quiet. Such a pretty outlook. The lounge was a lovely place to quietly read and we enjoyed the books and magazines on offer. The staff were friendly and chatty. A wonderful experience and well worth the stopover. I would thoroughly recommend staying there. It was such a treat.

A good place to stay if you are travelling by car and want to explore the north east coast of Scotland. The accommodation and food were perfect. Best of all was Kacey. She was very friendly. She was practically always available on WhatsApp whenever we needed anything (for example a few more toasts for breakfast). Although my English is not the best, I had no problem understanding everything she said. If I ever travel to the north of Scotland again, I would come back here.

We loved everything about Glen Lodge! The pod was charmingly decorated. We loved the puffin theme. :) Everything was well thought out and in great condition. We have stayed in a couple of pods on our NC500 trip and Glen Lodge was by far the best. We would definitely and gladly rebook! Yes, be aware that there are no large supermarkets in walking distance, but that is the case for most of the Highlands, and a big Tesco is only a 15 minute car drive away.

John O Groats is a very small place. which sort of has to be visited if your in the area. I wouldn't rate it as a destination if it wasn't for the fact its the northern most point on mainland UK

The John O'Groats visitor centre has a range of shops and eateries aimed at tourists. The parking fee is £3.50, but you can stay all day. The cafes tend to close early - from 5pm to around 6.30. After that there is only the Seaview Hotel. The centre wasn't as crowded as I thought it might be and we were able to take photos at the iconic sign post. We took a walk along to Duncansby Head. It was too late in the season for nesting birds (no puffins!) but the views were spectacular. (See Wikipedia for more info.)

We were there the end of April and basically nothing was open yet. Our only dinner choice was a fish and chips food truck that stopped taking orders at 18,30. The cafe that serves coffee and food didnt open till 10,00, so if you need to leave before then keep it in mind. Other than that, it is a beautiful location, just from the pier we saw many seals and otters. The trip to the lighthouse and walk from there to the stacks was incredible, we saw a few puffins nesting in the cliffs. I wish we had had more time to explore the area and beaches.

the property was out of this world. especially for this price range! location was spot on. right next to the famous John O Groats sign. the interior of our apartment was outstanding! a very high standards. spotlessly clean. Stephanie the manager called us a few hours before our arrival, wishing us a safe trip and asking if she could get us anything for our room like groceries etc. we met the manager Stephanie the next morning and she was absolutely delightful. looking forward to staying there again.

The accommodation met all expectations prior to booking. The room booked had typical British charm. The hostess was extremely accommodating and super friendly. The surrounding ambiance, the farm, is also an attraction and a welcome change from the usual touristic hotel monotony. Initial concerns about the bathroom, which has to be shared with other guests, proved to be unfounded. It was no problem at all. A lovely stay that certainly deserves an extension.

After 14 days on the road riding LEJOG this was the best welcome and place to stay. Just perfect. Better than the 4 star hotel and a thousand times more welcoming. Thank you for looking after a cold wet me and a filthy bike so we'll 😊
