If you are looking for a B & B on the north coast of Scotland this is it! We don't give out 5 star reviews lightly, and this accommodation definitely deserves it. And the food was fabulous - they could have opened a restaurant instead of a B & B. Don't go out to dinner if you are staying here, order from their menu. Kacey & Stephen are wonderful hosts and could not have been more attentive.

A really friendly and warm welcome to an excellent B & B with every convenience and consideration for all needs. Kacey is a wonderful hostess and a great cook serving excellent food to enjoy in a very well decorated home. There is nothing to dislike or fault and we would definitely stay again.

We had a too short but wonderful stay at this b&b. The rooms are kept at highest modern standard with love for the detail. The hospitality of Kacey is fabulous and thoughtful as is her cooking skills. She prepared delicious food and included also dietary requirements without problems. The surrounding is very quiet with lots of nature, sheep and cattle around.

This must be my favorite stay of any hotel/motel/b&b I’ve ever stayed at. Kacey is a true gem of a host and made sure that my sister and I had a great stay at her homestead/b&b. The communication leading up to our stay, the parking, the personal welcome, the design of the room and decor, the BREAKFAST! (WOW.) I wish I could have stayed at Kacey’s for the entire length of our trip. Definitely the best kept secret of the northern tip of Scotland!

Genuinely stunning. From start to finish, every aspect or our stay was fantastic. Great communication from our host Kacey, lovely welcome, beautifully decorated room (the Raven), comfortable beds, nice shower, lovely small touches like homemade biscuits.
The food was divine. We also had an evening meal there and the salmon was one of the nicest meals I've had in a long time.
We went for a lovely walk to watch the sunset and Burnside Cottage offered a couple of short walks to satisfy our need.
We only stayed one night whilst driving the NC500, but I'd happily stay at Burnside for more if we needed to.

The perfect location if you want to catch the car ferry to Orkney. Literally 5 minutes away. Enough time to have breakfast and still make it with lots of time.
Very clean and comfortable.
Breakfast was fantastic. Awesome personal service. A great spot for star gazing if there's no clouds. Highly recommended.

Casey is a great host and will ensure that your stay is both comfortable and refreshing. All food provided is first rate. There is no 'shared space' in terms of breakfast room, or lounge and so you are pretty much confined to quarters as everything is done on a room service basis which at first seems a little weird but on reflection works well and is ideally suited to CoVID restrictions. Try the homemade Granola it's to die for...

Stylish, big, comfortable and clean room, with a super thoughtful and caring host! Both breakfast and dinner was delicious, served in the room due to COVID.

Burnside cottage was perfect and a great location for a couple of nights stop on the NC500. It gave us the opportunity to explore the East Coast before travelling West. The hosts were very accommodating and always on hand if we needed anything.
