The Mill Cottage is an attractive, architect-designed conversion of a historic-listed former grain mill, still with waterwheel in place.
The Mill Cottage and the nearby Stable Cottage (ref W42411) are situated approximately 200 yards from the sea and are within easy walking distance of the centre of the famous village of John O’Groats. The ideal base to explore this lovely part of the Northern Highlands, John O’ Groats is renowned for magnificent coastal scenery, unspoilt beaches and coastal walks.

For the energetic, Caithness has a lot to offer. Mountain biking, fishing, sailing, surfing, hill walking and sea trips are available.
