We booked this place because we were doing the NC500 route on a trike and the hot tub sounded like a wonderful idea after three days of riding. We were completely blown away by the outstanding quality and palatial size of the chalet, it far exceeded our expectations, as did the lovely people!
The site is just 15-minutes along the north coast from John O'Groats, overlooking Dunnet Bay toward Castletown. There are just two chalets and the main house on the site, which meant it was ever so peaceful.
Despite it beginning to rain as we arrived, we were soon in the outdoor hot tub, after a quick introductory tour by our friendly host John. An hour in the hot tub looking out across the bay soon eased the aches and pains of the day's travel and we followed it up with a lovely relaxing evening in our fabulous 5-star chalet.
The bed was also 5-star and we slept like babies.
In the morning our breakfast was delivered to the chalet by our lovely hostess Sheila, and that too exceeded our expectations. The porridge served with fresh cream and honey has now become a regular favourite at home and the cooked breakfast (mine was vegetarian) was both generous and excellent.
We really could not recommend this place highly enough, and we hope to stay there again if the opportunity presents itself.
This small, family-run hotel has free Wi-Fi and free parking. It is in the centre of Castletown, close to Thurso and Wick and only minutes from the Castle of Mey.

We liked the food as it was Steak night, excellent value and quality, breakfast was buffet and well stocked. Castletown is a good base for exploring the area.

We loved everything here .. jenny was so friendly and looked after us very well .. the place was spotless and had everything we could possible need … if we could move in we would ha x
This hotel was well run. The staff were very nice and efficient. We ate in the dining room a couple of times and really enjoyed the meals. I had the lamb burger on one night and can highly recommend it. Our room was comfortable albeit a bit small but certainly adequate for our two night stay. I d definitely recommend this hotel and would stay again

I wanted to be in this area as I was looking for a very rare bumblebee and this was very central for me to visit varies bumblebee sites. The area had a beautiful beech and the whole area seemed very clean. All the local people I spoke to were very nice and helpful. I would certainly stay here again if I were to return to this area.

Nice friendly hotel with helpful staff that obviously cared about what they were doing. A good basic room with all that you could need with plenty of soft towels and of course the tea/coffee making. The restaurant was busy but they fitted us in and the meal was first class, having eaten here before I expected nothing less.

The road out to Dunnet head shouldn't be missed and on the way back stop at Brough Bay to watch the seals at play or hauled out on the slipway. Back at the hotel visit the adjacent Gin distillery for some treats

Dunnet is beautiful.
Dunnet is beautiful. Lovely beach walks, great hospitality at Dunnet B&B Escapes and the Northern Sands Hotel. A short drive along the road is the most Northerly point of mainland Britain, Dunnet Head, and it's well worth the jaunt for spectacular views and puffin sightings.

Dunnet Head and Lighthouse are recommended, Tip of Scotland, most Northernly point. Lots of birds in the cliffs and walks, Can be rugged, especially if rainy and windy, but exciting, Lighthouse is a beauty if you are into them.
