The Inn of John O'Groats, named for a 15th-century Dutch ferryman, sits along the North Sea. On a clear day, you can see the Orkney Islands. And although located in an isolated area between the coast and moorlands, it offers four food venues and an easy-on bus stop. 

Gather a writing pal for the hotel or a group for its condos. Book quickly as this is a famous tourist attraction.
