The former hotel

Jan De Groot originally built his house in 1497. He ran a ferry to Orkney and charged 4 old pennies (less than 2p) a trip. The coin of this denomination subsequently became known as a Groat. The John o' Groats House Hotel was built on the site of Jan de Groot's house and was established in 1875. Now the former hotel is closed.
