Pet-friendly vacation rentals in John o' Groats

Once again. Our second visit to The Noddle. Top review for this wonderful property. Lots of quirky lovely additions to the decor. The hosts fabulous artwork on the walls throughout were a delight. All we needed was at hand, and plenty of room for all 6 of us on our mahjong game tour. Clear instructions for all the carefully maintained heating units and other electrical appliances and all wall switches/sockets clearly labelled. Lovely maintained house and garden-including the 'secret garden'. A great decking with comfy chairs to sit in the sunshine and listen to nature... and count the bunnies! What more can I say.? Thank you Tony and Penny for letting us stay in this wonderful place.

I can’t recommend this place enough, it was absolutely beautiful. The cottage itself was somewhere I could have just moved into! And location was great, short walk to high street and a lovely gastro pub. Lesley was welcoming, friendly and a wealth of knowledge. And the cottage itself was maintained to a super high standard and with everything you could possibly want. My only one complaint is that we didn’t book to stay here longer! We will most certainly be back. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay

What a lovely area to start your tours from you can go east or west and find plenty to do aswell of all the local locations The accommodation had all you needed we have already inquired about coming back

Fantastic place we booked while up in the area, will book again, thankyou!

My friends and I loved the space and light and comfort of the Kirk. We came all the way from Norfolk on trains and ferries and fell in love with the land and seas and community of Hoy. The peace is deep here ... no background hum. I love to see the sea around me. We cycled over to Rackwick Bay which was exhilarating and went to cafe church at Emily's which was connecting. Thanks so much I hold these islands with me now. From Jen

We were a group of 6 adults and we each loved staying here. The house was spotlessly clean and looked just like the photos. We loved the large kitchen/dining area and the cosy 2nd reception. All facilities and equipment in the house were top quality and plentiful. The surrounding area is absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed some lovely evening walks. Everything in Orkney is only a short drive away, we loved exploring the island and this house was the perfect base. Brian was a great host and very responsive to messages. He has thought of everything you would require for a great holiday and had a little folder of recommendations and local info. We left something behind and the host happily posted this on to us, without hesitation. I’d definitely recommend staying here if you visit Orkney.

There aren’t enough words in English or Gaelic to describe how much myself and my friend/support worker LOVED .. staying @Brough Farm @ South Ronaldsay … i Love rural isolation , waterways, wild walks , seabirds and cows, stone walls and buildings ✅✅✅✅✅✅, not necessarily in that order … the capacity to self cater , with resources easily sourced from Stromness and Kirkwall , including fresh sourced fish , lamb , beef etc … have a bath after a big days walking and sleep in comfy beds , obviously adds to the bliss .. and then the cherry on the cake of our 10 night stay … was of course our timing was perfect for the Orkney Folk festival … which was sublime … Two Australians … left very sad .. from ‘our’ Orkney Island home … Mel and Graham were the bestest hosts .. and I’m deeply grateful for all of Grahams patience with sharing his farming knowledge about the darling cows and calf’s .

The Old Coast Guard station is a fantastic place to stay and as a base for the NC500. The house is recently renovated to a high standard, is very clean/fresh and has the most beautiful views of the bay and harbour. We traveled with our pup as it is very dog friendly with an enclosed garden and lots of places and beaches to walk nearby. Helmsdale is a nice village with local shops, pub and restaurants only an hour from John o Groats and minutes to lovely beaches. Undoubtedly one of the best holiday homes we have stayed - the views from the balcony are amazing.

Had a lovely short stay to catch early ferry to Orkney. Everything needed supplied. Accommodation very clean and tidy, bed was very comfortable. Derek was very good in communication and information supplied. certainly would stay again.

We last minute booked due to the weather change. Kevin got back to us literally 5 minutes later with all the details. Had a wonderful stay, they had all the stuff you would need if you was cycling through so you didnt need to pop to the shops apart from some dinner ideas. However he does have a honesty shop with plenty of supplys. This also goes to charity. The breakfast was top notch and freshly laid eggs were amazing. Bigger bonus was this gets topped up every morning !! The site had an awesome fire pit area and also another undercover fire pit area to bbq outside if desired. There are plenty of areas to walk and dogs are welcome. Kevin was very welcoming and loved chatting to him. He had amazing storys of the local area and very knowledgeable. He has a very cute border collie too :) If we ever come up to the highlands again were definitely be staying here. Would highly recommend staying here and by far the best pods weve ever stayed in.

The location and surrounding area is excellent, had breakfast while lambs jumped around. Accommodation is perfect and spotlessly clean. Check in was very easy and although we didn’t see our host, she communicated with us perfectly.

What an absolute dream of a place to stay. Recently fully renovated and it is simply stunning. Minutes from the center of Wick and just off the NC 500, Drumdry was an ideal base for exploring the far northeastern corner of Scotland. The cottage was situated among beautiful farm fields and our son loved saying hi every morning to the sheep outside. And I can’t say enough how wonderful the owner is. She not only was so friendly and welcoming when we arrived, she also thoughtfully brought us a bunch of toys for our son to play with and feel more at home. I literally don’t think you could ask for a better host. Indeed our whole experience at Drumdry was so lovely it has reset the bar for what a 5 star stay is. I couldn’t recommend a stay here highly enough!

Great flat in centre of Wick. Lots of space to relax and good amenities in the kitchen

lovely, peaceful and clean place in the country. hosts were helpful and friendly. enjoyed our stay

The Windy Roost is a beautiful, peaceful spot surrounded by stunning Scottish nature. The place is cozy and well-kept, and the hosts are warm and welcoming. A perfect retreat for anyone looking to relax or explore the outdoors. Highly recommended!

What a beautiful location. So peaceful and right next to stunning blue sea and an inquisitive seal. The house is very clean, comfortable and well equipped. It's got great walks from the door . It isn't far to the shop and is right next to the moving Longhope lifeboat museum.

Beautiful house and gardens wirh private lake. Had everything you could need and more. House and surroundings was immaculate and was the pefect location for a relaxing family getaway.

A peaceful stay in the clean and well decorated birdbox during lambing with views over the strath. We took our corgi Nana along who loved laying on the grass listening to the birds and sheep. There were plenty amenities available to prepare meals. The hottub was very cosy even as temperatures dropped. Easy to access the north coast to go sightseeing.

This is a really unique stay and I spent a good part of my time there looking out at sea wondering when I would next be able to come back. So that should tell you how much I liked it! It’s at a lighthouse, so as you would expect, it’s at the end of a long road (which is very bumpy in places!). Then you get to the cosy house, with a wood fire, and well stocked kitchen with welcome treats. Alan is very friendly as are the dogs and the chickens! My child loved feeding them every morning. The fresh farm eggs were such a treat. Cantick Head itself is stunning and we loved being in the hot tub and sauna. Note to other guests- all these are wood powered so stock up on firewood before you arrive (you can buy bags at the shop next to the Lyness ferry). My mum took one of the bikes out and we all enjoyed walking the coastline. This is a special stay, don’t hesitate to book!

The pod had a great view on the coast and is located at a field of the cows. Inside the pod is very cosy, clean and offers everything you need for a relaxing stay. 10/10

Can’t describe how beautiful the location is . The house is so beautiful and the view is breathtaking . We were welcomed by golden rays of sun and a rainbow . Sarah is the loveliest and warmest person I have ever met . She personally helped us know everything about the house. The kitchen is very well equipped. Kids room was so much fun with colourful lights , they had so much fun. Due to lack of time we couldn’t enjoy the hot tub and many more things like walking down the shore or the area. We just laid down and soaked in as much as we could. Overall this stay was amazing and definitely made our NC500 memorable.

Absolutely fantastic location, with fantastic scenery nearby. Had some wonderful walks, literally behind the property. The BBQ area was fantastic like the hot tub. I can’t say much more, but I will be looking to return ASAP Matthew is a fantastic host and nothing seems to be too much of a problem. Loved the place, oh and the Highland cows are awesome.

Beautiful location only stayed for one night due to our plans we could have stayed longer and if we return will definitely rebook

This is a wonderfully quiet place but within easy walking distance of the town and facilities. Exactly as described comfortable and spotless, the host provided excellent instructions and directions. Enjoyed our time there. Loved the peace and quiet but also found plenty to do in Wick, we would recommend the Heritage centre and the family history section at Nucleus both with very friendly staff.
