The Gate Lodge is a lovely large house, surrounded by a lawned garden; a family could relax here easily. The rooms are very pretty and appealing. Although it is on the A99 the road is quiet. One morning I drive to John O’Groats for an early ferry and saw only two or three other vehicles.
The hosts are warm and welcoming, the walk up the drive for lunch at the cafe and an explore is recommended.

We had a very enjoyable holiday. Relaxing and quiet cottage. We had 3 dogs and we found lovely areas to exercise them.
