Windhaven Camping And B&B - A coastal B&B with sea views, free WiFi, and proximity to Dunnet Head Lighthouse
Windhaven Camping And B&B provides accommodation with free WiFi and private parking, overlooking Brough Bay where guests can observe resident Harbour and Grey seals from a designated viewing point. The property features three B&B rooms, each with private shower and toilet access, as well as a communal lounge area with tea and coffee facilities. Located 3 km from Dunnet Head Lighthouse, Windhaven is the most northerly B&B on the UK mainland and offers direct views of the Orkney Isles on clear days. Surfing and diving opportunities are nearby, with the Thurso Surf Festival Pro Tour and O'Neill Highland Open Surfing Competition held at Dunnet Bay. Ferries to the Orkney Isles operate from Scrabster and Gills Bay, both 25 minutes away. A continental breakfast is available each morning at Windhaven Camping And B&B.
Pros
The coastal location provides direct views of Brough Bay and frequent seal sightings.
Close proximity to Dunnet Head Lighthouse, a prime birdwatching spot for puffins.
Free WiFi and parking available for guests.
Family-run business with personalized service from owners Clare and Phil.
Cons
The nearest airport, Wick John O'Groats, is 35 km away, requiring transport arrangements.
Limited on-site dining options; the closest restaurant is a 5-minute drive.
“The location stands out, offering coastal views and immediate access to nature; the hosts clearly aim to create a welcoming, community-like atmosphere, further enhanced by fresh breakfasts. Its proximity to the ferry for Orkney adds genuine convenience. A stay here promises a personal touch.”
