The owners were warm and inviting. We had a lovely pop up dinner with a guest chef that was great! Breakfast was also delicious and well prepared. Our room was cozy and we were near the seastacks at John o’groats as well as the catamaran ferry to Orkney. Great location, cozy atmosphere and relaxed vibe!

I stayed in one of the small cottages adjacent to the house. Shiela was a fantastic host – her homemade scones were hands-down the best I've ever had. I'm still dreaming of them 2 months later... the "cottage" was clean, spacious, and perfect for what I was looking for. Wish I had time to stay longer!
Featuring a garden, Burnside Cottage features accommodations in Wick.

Kacey could not be a more accommodating host. She also prepared great meals for dinner and breakfast and was able to accommodate all special dietary request for our group. To top it off her entire facility is extremely eco conscious. I would highly recommend the Burnside Cottage.

Exceptional site - 15 metres to a cliff top view, and unique character given their seal rescue facility.

The proprietors Euan & Emma were excellent company and very attentive to guests' needs. The hotel had an excellent menu with accompanying wines, beers, spirits, if required. The hotel also had an extensive range of locally-produced spirits. The accommodation was excellent and well-equipped. The only down-side was the lack of TV reception - although being without TV was somewhat of a blessing!
The owners were super-friendly and made me very welcome. The food was marvellous (dinner and breakfast). The room was comfortable and cosy and the atmostphere was overall warm and welcoming. The location was quiet and peaceful with little traffic going by to disturb the calm. Mey is only about 20 minutes from Thurso and is therefore a great stopover for the ferry from Scrabster to Orkney, which is what I was there for.
Emma and Euan had only got the keys at 3pm the day we arrived. They were perfect hosts, nothing was too much trouble and the Dinner and breakfast was really nice . We were honoured to be two of their first customers. We will certainly recommend the Castle Arms Hotel and will definitely return one day . Wishing Emma and Euan all the very best in their amazing adventure . Thank you too for recommending Rock Rose gin 🥂
Mey is a lovely spot. We used it for the Pentland car ferry to Orkney. Easy to find, plenty of parking, house is a tardis! We had a front room, large with a generous sized wet room, the view from our room was over fields and we had a perfect sunset.
Graham has put as many useful items in room as possible and more for cleaning bikes, cars - whatever. Breakfast was nicely cooked and generous. Super friendly host.
Excellent hosts. Everything provided for a more than comfortable stay, they provided everything you required for a stress free visit to the area. Location was close to a hotel which served beautiful meals and breakfast in the bnb was more than adequate. Truly a dog friendly place to stay everything was provided for their comfort also with two lovely dogs on site. Would not hesitate to rebook if in the area again.
The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The Mey Hotel has a very nice tearoom and restaurant on site which was very nice and the food was good. The location worked for me, although it is a bit of a drive from Thurso town center, but close to other sites that were more important to me!!! The layout of the hotel is charming and the outdoor space I am sure is lovely when weather is permitting.
Located along the north coast, it’s a great spot for exploring. There’s a very personal touch with this hotel, and we were made to feel very welcome. The breakfast was cooked to perfection, as was the evening meal. We sat in the lounge in front of the fire in the afternoon and enjoyed the ambiance of a very tastefully decorated room.
Thanks for such a lovely stay.
Absolute gem of a B & B. Amazing warm welcome, so informative and nothing was too much trouble. Made you feel so at home and were very helpful in getting us a dinner booking at late notice at the hotel up the road. Added bonus we could walk to it! Lots of added extras for you, it just felt like everything was thought of with their guests in mind.
Lovely big house, great spacious drive. The owner was friendly and accommodating . He had a wonderful patter of one liner jokes! Lovely room, clean and tidy. Very covid safe! The breakfast was wonderful. All round lovely place to stay very close to the Castle of Mey and the ferry to Orkney. Well worth the money - in fact a real bargain for good quality
Classic little Scottish hotel with bar, restaurant and comfortable rooms. Good food for dinner (reservations strongly recommended!). Nice full Scottish breakfast. Lovely hosts. Would definitely stay again if in area. Better deal booking directly through hotel.
Breakfast was the perfect full Scottish, loved it! Great location for Castle of Mey and Duncansby Head, both of which we enjoyed immensely. Nearby Mey Hotel provided a superb evening meal to compliment Graeme and Eileen’s excellent accommodation.
The proprietors' approach to the functioning of the hotel. Attention to detail, no fuss and exceptional kindly dealing with visitors is second nature to Euan and Emma. Would undoubtedly return and recommend this to anyone.
A small hotel refurbished by the new owners Emma and Euan.
Excellent breakfast and dinner using local produce along with a well stocked bar with lots of local spirits and beers.
