The Inn of John O'Groats, named for a 15th-century Dutch ferryman, sits along the North Sea on one of the most northern points of inland Scotland. On a clear day, you can see the Orkney Islands that are only six miles away. And although located in an isolated area between the coast and moorlands, it offers food and coffee venues and an easy-on bus stop. 

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