Thinking of doing the NC500? You can overnight at The Windy Roost in Occumster village, or base yourself there for several days – either way it will be very hard to leave. If you’re wondering why, well, for starters, accommodation is in a south-facing cabin set on an 11-acre croft, with spectacular views stretching to the sea, coastal cliffs and stunning, often snow-capped mountains Add vivid sunrises and sunsets to the mix – when weather conditions are right, of course – and then, thanks to the low levels of light pollution, you can watch galaxies shimmering in the sky from your private terrace – should you catch a cloudless night. By the way, that terrace is sheltered and fenced (so any dogs accompanying you stay safe), with outdoor seating, a picnic table and lighting. If you’re keen to spark up a barbecue, there’s a communal firepit behind the cabin. Things are pretty smart inside the cabin too; it’s nice and insulated to keep the Scottish winter cold at bay, and air-conditioned in summer. Sleeping up to five guests comfortably, the cabin has a fully equipped kitchen (with air fryer, grill, oven, microwave and all cutlery and crockery). And if you fancy a lazy day, there’s wifi to keep in touch with back home, and a Smart TV for catching up on all your favourite programmes from the comfort of the sofa.

Em va agradar: Really good accommodation with great hosts. Accommodation was very clean and provided everything we needed. A really good location for exploring the far North East of Scotland.

No em va agradar: Just be aware that the top bunk is only suitable for small children. My 9yo couldn't have slept there. We used the sofa bed instead.

Em va agradar: Only 4000 letters to say what I liked. That's not enough. Excellent communication by hosts before arrival. This is a gem of a place. Cabins are new and extremely well kitted out. Microwave, air fryer/grill/rotisserie. Everything you possibly would need. Smart TV, WiFi. Fully heated with full Aircon unit. So you have full control of temperature. Beautifully decorated. I absolutely love the handmade decor around the bathroom. Lots of personal touches which make it feel warm and comfortable. There is a lovely private seating area outside each Cabin. So lovely to sit outside with a glass of wine or bear when it's nice and sunny. This is also enclosed by a small fence. So secure for most dogs. There is also a fire pit to the rear of the cabins, so good for barbecues Now to the hosts. They are very friendly. Very good local knowledge. Especially with regards to lovely walks and attractions in the area. I really appreciated the guidance on where to walk and what to see. As there are a few neomythical sites within 2 to 4 miles of the Cabins. Especially small standing stones that are on the same layline as Stonehenge. I almost forgot very dog friendly. They love dogs. So your furball will be made to feel very welcome. They have ducks floating around (very quiet I must add) sheep are in adjacent properties. I was lucky to see Deer bounding across an adjacent field. It is a very quiet spot, about 400 yards from the NC500 route. So a perfect place to stop. As John O'Groats is only about 30 minutes away. I recommend you make it a base for the east coast. So stay there a minimum of a few days. As you won't regret it. I stayed a weekend and regret I didn't stay longer. Thank you for making Zorro (my dog) and my stay perfect. He loved it as much as I did. Just add that there's a B&M, Pets at home, Argos, Farm foods and Lidls about 15 minutes north of the property in Wick. Also Tesco's North of Wick with Fuel. So you have everything at hand within 10 to 20 minutes.

No em va agradar: Nothing. Absolutely amazing. Thought I would of used the word amazing a few more times 😀

Del gerent: Hi Glenn, Wow thanks for a fantastic review, but more importantly so very happy you enjoyed your stay. Thank you, and thanks for the wine, your words are very much appreciated, the hard work creating this special place, is worth it when we know our guests are enjoying the location we are so lucky to call home. We are so lucky to meet and cross paths with people on their own journeys, you and Zorro are more than welcome anytime. Pete and Mandy.

What a fantastic place! Hopefully one day we’ll be back. Thank you!

Llocs d'interès

For sightseeing with a bit of Caithness history thrown in, head for the brooding Neolithic tombs at the Grey Cairns of Camster (10 minutes’ drive), or hit the circular Yarrows Archaeological Trail at Ulbster (10 minutes) to see standing stones and Bronze Age hut circles. A snoop around Badbea Historic Clearance Village (25 minutes) reveals remnants of a settlement emptied during the 19th-century Highland Clearances. Keen hikers can hook up with the coastal John O’Groats Trail at Lybster (five minutes), passing spectacular Occumster Waterfall and the remains of 18th-century Clyth Harbour on the way to Whaligoe (around a two-hour walk). Once there, you might like to scramble down 365 stone steps (but don’t forget you’ll have to scramble back up again) to Whaligoe Haven, once a buzzing mackerel-fishing harbour. Heading north, aim for Dunnet Head – the most northerly point of mainland Britain – to stand on soaring cliffs home to thousands of seabirds. It’s almost law when you’re this far north to visit John O’Groats (both 40 minutes’ drive) for the chance to spot seals and dolphins in surrounding waters, or you can tour fairy-tale Dunrobin Castle (50 minutes), its museum and formal gardens.
