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.

Syntes om: What can I say other than we obviously left the best to last. This was our last stop off on the NC500 and it was tremendous. The physical location, the accommodation itself, the standard of the accommodation both internally and externally was top notch as were our hosts. I'd go as far as to say the place was perfect and if I have any regrets it is that we didn't book a couple of nights here instead of just the one.

Syntes ikke om: There was genuinely nothing I disliked about this accommodation.

Syntes om: Don't think I can do justice with my review. This is one of places where you need to stop to see it for your self. The view is amazing and being so close to busy NC500 route it's amazing how relaxed and tranquil you feel at end of your travels. We stayed for 3 nights and I can't fault anything. We are very picky about beds, and it's hard for us to get good nights sleep somewhere else besides our own bed. Well this time it wasn't the case. We slept like babies and woke up refreshed and ready for next adventures. The owners have done amazing job with the cabins, they are so comfortable and fully stacked with everything what you need. We are cook from scratch kind of people and all the kitchen equipment suited our needs. The cabins are wonderfully decorated and wind proofed so don't need to be concerned about highland wind getting to you. Peter and Mandy are very knowledgeable about local area, if anyone are stuck and don't know what else to visit. Helped us with our travel, suggested to take a look at something what I couldn't find on the map. Kids loved it. Checking in and out easy and no fuss. Front of cabin nicely fenced around so your furry friend can have some freedom. Lovely communal fire pit area to enjoy evening. Shops not far as well in Wick. I could go on and on about The Windy Roost, but like I said before, to actually do the justice need to spend a night or 2 to actually see it and feel it for yourself. Peter and Mandy should be very proud of what they have created 👏 ❤️ little peace of heaven ❤️ little gem of NC500. We are sad to leave today 😢 but can't stay here for ever.

Fra bestyreren: Thankyou so much for this wonderful review. It was an absolute pleasure to meet you all. Your children are a credit to you and very polite. We hope you achieve your dreams going forward in life- was the best decision for us to step back from the pace of life and breath.... Take care and wish you all the best for your future adventures Mandy and Pete, Kenza and Polly xx

Syntes om: Where to start...the accommodation was fantastic, Tranquil with an amazing view. Excellent location, Wick 20 minutes drive for supermarkets. 'John O'Grotes' approx. 45 minutes up the road with other touristy activities' not too far away Small garden to the front, with access to a fire pit front and to the rear of the cabin. Was blessed with the weather which just added to the whole experience being able to get the fire pit going. Pet friendly. Cabin was beautifully furnished, with an added personal touch. Pete and his wife were excellent hosts. Would thoroughly recommended to all, and will definitely be back (-:

Lokale seværdigheder

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.
