Liked What a great find. This is a fabulous spot on the NC500. Lovely views from the pitches. A well thought out site with electric hook up, beautiful shower room and washing up area. Mandy and Pete could not have been more accommodating. They also have 2 lovely cabins to hire. Well recommended

Liked A good place to stop off for the night. Great view and all the facilities that you needed. The one toilet/shower is of the highest quality.

Disliked No washing up facilities but plenty of water.

From the manager: Hi, glad.you enjoyed the stay, the lack of dish washing facilities was an oversight.
We have ordered a sink and working on plans to incorporate one soon. Thanks for the feedback.

Local attractions

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.
