Greenland House B&B

Elegantly appointed, well-kept B&B with spacious rooms and high ceilings pleasantly located in Castletown close to a good beach, Castle of Mey, John O'Groats and Thurso. A converted bank house dating back to the early 1900s, it has tasteful decor, an elegant sweeping staircase and is serenely managed by the lady owner who is very pleasant and provides a good breakfast. Good value, really enjoyed our stay.

This is a wonderful old building with so many beautiful decorations within it. Even though we didn't have an ensuite, our private bathroom was huge with good shower water pressure. There are two lounge rooms available and when we brought back some takeaway food from the local Indian restaurant, the owner suggested that we ate it in the dining room, something we wouldn't have ask to do. The breakfast was good and we really enjoyed our stay here.

Nice propert and staff, location has limits.

Property and single person staff both very good. Location remote from choice of places to eat. One hotel and one Indian take-away only choice. Hotel full and unable to provide food. Indian take-away basic. For choice --need to drive to Thurso, so next time will find accommodation in Thurso.
