Dunnet Head Bed And Breakfast And Self Catering

We stopped at the cafe, for a light snack, the lady who was within was lovely. The service was excellent with one of the nicest scones and clotted cream that money could buy. Don’t eat at John o Groats, get your snacks here on your way to Dunnet head. Next time we are in this area we will camp here. The campsite is immaculate with a dedicated dog run and children’s football park. The views are amazing.

Phil runs a quiet, clean and cosy B&B close to Dunnet Head. Full english breakfast, complimentary beverages provided.

We travelled in a convoy of six vehicles and stopped here being the most northern point in the UK. Beautiful setting overlooking the sea and lucky enough to see 3 seals playing in the bay. The site is very well managed and the seal rescue was fascinating to find out about. Excellent value with shower and toilets, there is also a cafe and b&b available on site.
Nicest view I’ve seen in years

What a fab place to stay .
Phil was very kind funny and informative.
The seal sanctuary was an added bonus seeing the baby seals happy and nearly ready for release .
Seals in the bay while we had a glass of wine!
Perfect view .
Thanks for having me x

I can't stress enough how incredible this place is—it truly is a hidden gem. The views are breathtaking, and you’re completely immersed in the beauty of northern Scotland. Seal spotting is such a highlight! Phil and Claire are wonderful hosts—warm, attentive, and incredibly friendly. Their passion for the local wildlife and coastline really shines through. The breakfast they provided was the perfect fuel for a day of exploring the NC500. If you're an outdoor enthusiast or love seals, this place is a must-visit!

This is a cracking wee site.  I was booking on the go while I was touring and this place was recommended by the folks at Crofters Snug.  What a result.  I was welcomed to the site like an old friend and the view from the pitch was totally amazing.  Okay it was a bit blowy but it is the North Coast!!!  The dog walking area was brilliant and my boy goind the Muddy ditch!!  Would definitely go back

Small is beautiful! Lovely friendly campsite on the NC500 with outstanding views over the bay. Close to Dunnet Head Lighthouse and plenty of wonderful walks. Really peaceful setting, would highly recommend. 

There really is no other place like Windhaven. From the warm and friendly welcome from the minute you pull up to the warm goodbyes when you leave. Phil’s breakfasts are just the best and the views are spectacular. Lovely and clean rooms with everything you need. Can’t wait to come back.

2 night stay in one of the B&B rooms.  Wonderful views across to Orkney with seals on the slipway below (and whales & dolphins seen at other times). Phil and Clare are really friendly and give the place a really informal, cosy feel.  I ended up on the tractor cutting the grass within 20 minutes of arriving!  Saturday night spent in the 'man-cave' with other visitors and a local playing guitar, squeeze box and fiddle and singing folk songs. Basic accommodation and campsite facilities but all you really need. 2 lovely dogs on site.

Brilliant little cafe on road side can't miss it. Camping & B&B also. Lovely coffee and nice Sandwiches, cakes were good too.  Service was great, IF ver passing to Dunnet Head would make a point of calling in for lunch. Highly recommended if you want a light lunch or a cuppa and cake.

Future campsite, lovely cafe.

Amazing spot overlooking the sea and bay

A true taste of the Highland coast

AMAZING!!!

Perfect location

What a great camp site situated on the northern most part of the British mainland. Our welcome was warm and sincere and the site is on top of the cliffs over looking the Pentland Firth, amazing. The facilities are modern and clean and electric hook ups are available on some pitches nearer to the house, best to ask for these when booking if needed. Dogs are welcomed and across the road from the site is an enclosed field where you can let them off the lead. From the site you can watch both Common and Grey seals below in the bay with the odd visit from Orcas. The road up to Dunnets Head is right outside the site with easy if not slow access up to the lighthouse and some fantastic views. This site is well placed as a centre for touring the north coast as well as a night stop location.

Great stay

We stopped off here as part of the NC500 and we needed a cup of tea as the weather wasn't great.
The young man working was very helpful in advising us to park our parks in the car park due to big trucks passing.
He also told us all the sandwiches on offer and the traditional cakes etc and even threw in some Highlands trivia. Hes a keeper for you guys.

Sandwhiches were super soft and tasty, and a good cuppa.

Great little cafe with amazing sandwhiches.

Claire and Phil run this B&B and campsite from their home in Brough.  Advertised as the most northerly B&B in mainland UK and you can't argue with that. It's a mile or so south of Dunnet Head, the most northerly point of mainland UK (not John o' Groats as most people think). Dunnet Head has a lighthouse and viewpoint to see several types of marine birds. A 2 minute walk from the B&B and you can walk down steps onto Brough Bay, a secluded little area not signposted so stays nice and quiet. We saw a dozen seals yards from us sunbathing on the slipway - magical! Only about 10 miles away, just the other side of J.o.G is Duncansby Lighthouse where a short walk takes you to a gorge in the clifftops where we saw dozens of Puffins, Kittiwakes etc.
The twin room we stayed in was small and had a tiny en-suite. Tea and coffee making facilities were in the lounge next door, shared with the people in the other room. The shower was functional but not very powerful and the cold water tap in the sink gave little more than a dribble. 
Claire and Steve are very friendly and helpful hosts and we had a lovely cooked breakfast. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in the North East of Scotland. 

Wow! What a location!

Stayed with Phil and his good lady Saturday 16th April. Very welcoming, couldn’t do enough for use. We pitched up in our Campervan and …. Well what a view ! The facilities are clean, you can grab a shower, water ( out/in) and sneak into the mancave which phil had a roaring stove on the go. Please ask Phil about all the stuff he does i.e coastguard duties and large marine life rescuers. Incredible couple!!
Wished we could have stayed longer but we were on a route to cover over limited days. So, if your on the NC500 West Coast Scotland , just detour off, go see the lighthouse at Dunnet Head and stay over with a really decent, caring loving family ❤️
Promise - you won’t be disappointed. 
Can be a bit windy given the location but, just be prepared as you would do camping in the wild. 
Thanks Phil & gang 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great people !!

We stayed at Windhaven as part of our road trip along the NC500 and it was absolutely perfect! Phil was super helpful throughout and really friendly, made us feel really welcome. The site was well equipped - there was electric hook ups if needed, a water tap and a brilliant bathroom with a warm shower! Thanks so much!
