2013 Scottish Jaunt: a revitalised John O'Groats

 The restored John O'Groats Hotel

Enjoying the luxury of a Natural Retreats self-catering residence right at the end of the road at John O'Groats. The old hotel which was very run-down and falling into decay has been beautifully restored and self-catering units developed. Very well appointed and equipped with amazing views over the Pentland Firth to Stroma and Orkneyenhanced by the glorious sunsets we've had so far.

The huts have been carefully sited and spaced out
