Information about the host

A small Scottish Croft set in pastural surroundings overlooking the sea, perfectly placed on the NC500 route, just six miles from John O Groats, and the ferry crossings to Orkney. Horseshoe Croft offers comfortable en-suite accomodation, with breakfast included, all rooms have free wi-fi, flat screen TV, and hospitality trays. Any special dietary requirements can be catered for upon request, and packed lunches provided to order. Close by can be found many local visitor attractions for example Castle Mey, beautiful secluded beaches, historic Castles and Bronze Age Brochs, and of course our famous distillery's in Wick, Thurso and also Dunnet. For the more adventurous maybe you'd like to venture out to sea whale watching, or seal spotting, or even a stroll on the beautiful beach at Dunnet. We look forward to welcoming you and making sure you enjoy your stay is our priority, and we feel sure that you'll love the place just as much as we do, and will haste ye back.

I have many years experience working in Hotels and Restaurants, and just love meeting people and making them feel welcome. I enjoy travelling and have an interest in many eclectic subjects, in the pursuit of which I have made many friends who have always made me most welcome in their countries, and some have made the trek to come stay at the Croft. Which is what I wish my guests to experience, the Croft is my home and I'm more often than not around, gardening or doing renovations. This year I have three en-suite rooms, but by this time next year I hope to offer another two rooms by converting an old stone Steading into two guest suites. Well! as they say "The best laid plans" that was pre Covid, so maybe a revised completion date for would be 2021.
