Our room had an amazing view over the bay and even a bath tub in the large bedroom. The breakfast was the best we ever had in a B&B. The host was very welcoming and made sure we had a great time.

Leonard Germany

Very good breakfast and well equiped room/apartment. Clean and very friendly hosts. Beach is nearby on walking distance.

It is a superb property. From the size and design of the rooms, to the delicious breakfast, to the unbeatable views.

David United Kingdom

Excellent hosts, perfect facilities and location with the lightest fluffiest welcome scones Ive ever tasted, also had the best sleep in the comfiest bed of my 10 night trip, I would love to return and stay for 2 to 3 nights.

Jan New Zealand

Bakki is a fabulous cabin , very well fitted out with plenty of space for the bed, sitting area, kitchen and bathroom. The deck had a great view of Dunnet bay from hanging "egg" chairs. Breakfast was superb, served in our cabin by the owner, Sheila. A hot tub was available at the front of the main house, again with stunning views. The best value stay of a NC500 tour.

Philip United Kingdom

Breakfast was excellent, the rooms were stylishly furnished, great view on the sea.
