Kacey and Stephen would like to offer you a warm welcome to Burnside Cottage Bed and Breakfast. Burnside Cottage is an eco-friendly luxury bed and breakfast situated in Caithness in the far north of Scotland. It is located just between Dunnet Head and John O'Groats, and 800m off the North Coast 500 route (NC500). It is also an ideal stop for those travelling to Orkney being just a couple of minutes from the Gills Bay ferry (Pentland Ferries).

The property, developed from a former croft house, offers two spacious ground floor suites. Decorated in an individual style, with Stephen's carving & photography throughout, it is warm and cosy even on stormy winter Caithness days! Extensive building and redecoration work has been completed in 20/21 to enable guests to be more self-contained. There is now a guest entrance for the two suites, which contain comfortable seating & dining areas.

We also offer an optional evening menu (Meat, Fish & Vegan) & all meals are served via room service. The property looks out over open countryside and the isle of Stroma with the Orkney Islands in the distance.

The area offers a host of interesting archaeological sites which include the Nybster Brochs, one of the best preserved iron age broch's in the north of Scotland a short drive away.
The Camster Cairns which are among the oldest structures in Scotland, dating to 5000 years ago, 20 miles away.
Burnside Cottage is also conveniently situated near a number of magnificent Castles - The Castle & Gardens of Mey, the residence of the late Queen Mother is nearby, along with Ackergill Tower, Girnigoe, Sinclair, Dounreay to name but a few (there are 30 castles in Caithness).
We had, for some time, found it increasingly difficult living in a busy city down south.
When we found Burnside Cottage it looked like the ideal place for us to create a new, more sustainable, life & business.
We believe in sustainability, living ethically, and simply being kinder & more natural in our lifestyle.
Since taking over the property in 2018 we have started to replace our old exterior doors & double glazed windows with more modern and efficient ones.
This is a work in progress as we have lots here at Burnside Cottage!
