Breakfast and dinner was very good, lots of healthy selections. I appreciated the dinner menu so we didn’t have to drive far to find a restaurant open at night. Loved the patio doors that opened out to a deck., lots of fresh air. Very quiet area as well. The travel guide is beautiful, lots of information about the guest house and the area. Nicest guide we’ve ever seen in a bookings stay. The family was friendly and helpful in planning our day of sightseeing and preparing hot, healthy traditional Scottish & gluten free meals. We enjoyed the littles going out to the chicken coop to collect fresh eggs for breakfast. Nicest family we have ever met in a bed & breakfast. They really went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Large shared lounge room was wonderful for games, reading or watching TV. Perfect location for touring on the NC 500. We sure appreciated the hospitality.

We had a wonderful two night stay in an exceptionally beautiful B&B, in a themed double room with it's own balcony and outstanding modern en suite. James & Kirsty were fantastic hosts and really friendly and attentive. We were blessed as they offered a very comprehensive menu of 'hot' evening meals for guests as well as bar drinks. We can vouch for the 'mince & tatties with seasonal veg' and 'special burger', extremely reasonably priced too. Breakfast was delicious too with their own eggs and plenty of options. Kirsty very kindly prepared us breakfast sandwiches for our long trip home a bit earlier than usual which was so kind of her. There was a guest lounge with comfortable seating and a pool table and other board games available too. No hesitation in recommending this B&B to anyone, it really was outstanding! 😊

James and Kirsty are a lovely welcoming couple, who do all they can to make your stay happy. They are keen to share their love of the area and provide suggestions on things to do. The decor throughout is lovely. A bonus for us was watching the wild rabbits and the chickens that provide the eggs for breakfast. It was very nice to have use of the lounge with table, mini pool table and TV sitting area.We ate in and really enjoyed the home cooking, choosing the lasagne and burger. After a good night's sleep we enjoyed our breakfast. Again locally sourced ingredients are used.

We had a really lovely stay here on our journey south to Inverness during our honeymoon. James & Kirsty were great hosts and made us feel very welcome as soon as we arrived. A real bonus was the possibility to eat and drink something in the evening once we arrived after a long journey. We had a beautifully prepared charcuterie board with fabulous produce local to Caithness, as well as local gin. The room was very nicely furnished and super clean, and there is also a separate guest lounge with TV and games which makes for a very comfortable stay. All in all, we can't fault this place and would definitely recommend to friends/stay again in future!

Sense of living in a big house with several rooms and amenities. Wonderful hosts with plentiful of suggestions of what to do in the area! I followed these instructions and it made my two days of travelling along NC500 - from places where to eat, routes to take and extra activities like surfing as well. The place is unique and I think one of the best in the area. Big thanks to James and Kirsty! I would totally recommend to friends and would consider for my next stay too to chat with these wonderful hosts and share what’s new.

I wouldn’t say I didn’t like it as everything was really cool and you can see it from my pictures, but for personal 10 I would like to have a newer mattress (although current one is good and bed linen is fantastic!) and if being capricious - coffee machine at the place, like nespresso as it is quite difficult in some areas to find decent coffee in coffee shops. As of mattresses - I found it’s relevant to all places I stayed at during my trip at NC 500 in 2024 within the price range of 80-150£ per night.

We needed a stopover from Norfolk to Orkney, we stumbled across this exceptional place on booking.com. Wow I'm so glad we did it was amazing. The hosts are super attentive without being intrusive. The accommodations are superb with your own little balcony. There's chickens that come to say hello in the morning too 😊 and of course there's free range eggs on the menu and to buy if you wish. We arrived late and hadn't eaten, we already knew about the charcuterie board as we'd seen it on the site. To be fair we did think oh that seems a little expensive. Anyway we ordered it with some house cocktails, it was superb, I won't spoil it for you but my recommendation is go for it you will not be disappointed. Bedtime!! Now you're in for a real treat, the bedding and mattress will put everywhere you've stayed before to shame!! I'll leave it with you... Breakfast is stunning do take the haggis even if you've never had it before!! All in all this is one of the very best bed and breakfasts we have ever stayed at and we're extensively travelled in the Uk.

Nothing

Very warm and welcoming hosts, James and Kirsty. The room is very clean and cozy, with everything you might need. The food deserves special mention: the breakfasts are excellent, and in the evenings, they offer delicious dinners at a reasonable price. There is a lounge area that is very cozy, and even a pool table is available. We highly recommend this place for a stay! The hosts will also gladly tell you about the local attractions.

It was one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed at. James and Kristy's hospitality was fabulous. They warmly welcomed us and made us feel at home every moment, which was unique. The rooms and common areas were spotless. Finding the hotel was quite easy. The breakfast was perfect. Additionally, they prepared a brochure introducing the region with their own experiences, which was very helpful. The biggest reason we'd love to visit Lybster again on our next trip would be to spend time with them again. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Everything was perfect

We loved everything about our visit. James was very welcoming and Kirsty produced amazing things from the kitchen at breakfast. Our room was clean, comfortable and modern with lots of attention to detail. The guest lounge was an unexpected bonus enabling us to watch the Euros final with the other guests and James. The homemade cocktails helped to numb the pain of losing yet again! We will definitely be recommending this little haven to any friends doing the NC500.

The weather!! But nothing that James or Kirsty could do about that!

James and Kirstey were perfect hosts. They greeted us warmly, showed us to our comfortable rooms equipped with great linens, a comfy bed, and highest quality toiletries. They served us late charcuterie boards (one vegan) that were just delicious, only to be outdone by the wonderful breakfast. They are lovely hosts who went above and beyond to make us comfortable. Great common room with a pool table and games, and some very entertaining chickens in the yard. We also learned a lot from them about the area. We left behind a very valuable item and quickly received messages letting us know it would be kept safe for us. A truly fabulous experience.

Not a thing
