1 / 16Harrow Lodges John O’Groats - Burray
Mey, Highlands
A single storey lodge for three at Mey near John o' Groats, with a private hot tub, sea views to Orkney, an enclosed garden and one dog welcome.
Across the Pentland Firth, Orkney lies along the horizon, and Burray looks straight at it. This is a single storey dog friendly lodge at Mey on the north coast of Caithness, within walking distance of the beach, and the booking allows one dog.
A deck runs right round the lodge, with seating for eating outside and a private hot tub, and the garden round it is enclosed, so the dog goes out while the kettle boils and the view does its work. The owners leave a telescope for watching the water, and from the hot tub on a clear night the Northern Lights may show over the firth, with the dog asleep indoors.
Inside is one open room with a sofa and chairs, an electric fire and a table for four, with the kitchen along one side. A double bedroom has its own toilet, a small single sits next door, and the walk-in shower between them serves both, which is where a dog's sandy feet get seen to. Everything is on one level, and the owners leave doggy extras in the welcome pack.
The Castle of Mey, the royal family's home when they visit the area, is just along the road. John o' Groats is 5 miles away, with boats across to Orkney, and Dunnet Bay, a long curve of sand under the dunes below Dunnet Head, the most northerly point of the mainland, is 4.4 miles west, the place to give a dog a proper run.
