“Northern Sands strikes me as a genuine escape, a place where the welcome feels personal, not processed. The family-run aspect clearly shines through, and the focus on local fare elevates the dining experience beyond standard hotel fare. Its beachfront location, near distilleries and Dunnet Head, makes it a compelling base for exploring the northern coast.”
