We stayed during a particularly cold and snowy time in the far north of Scotland and Valhalla Brae was warm, welcoming, very comfortable, and I would highly recommend it. We also had excellent communication with our host Donna who is a lovely friendly lady.This was our second stay at Valhalla and it is highly likely that we will be back again.I put good for local amenities since there is no longer a shop in the village, the village pub however does very nice meals and there is a good sized Tesco in nearby Wick.
