Hillside Camping Pods and Shepherd's Hut, hotel in John O Groats

Providing garden views, Hillside Camping Pods and Shepherd's Hut in Wick features accommodations and a garden. This campground provides free private parking and private check-in and check-out.

The Shepherd’s Hut was such a stunning property, small but perfectly formed! Such a clever use of space to make it incredibly cosy, comfortable and welcoming. Debbie as host has clearly put a lot of care and attention into making it feel so special and was a great host, both with pre-stay communication and in welcoming us at the accommodation. Could not recommend this place highly enough, it would be a pleasure to be able to stay there again.

    Great location if you want to go to The Orkneys.

    Great location if you want to go to The Orkneys. There are also many other locations close for sight seeing from here. The view over the Pentland crossing. Staff were very welcoming and friendly with great advice on the area.

    At the edge of Scotland, the gateway to the Orkneys or a sea tour. No facilities to speak of and the nearest Tesco is a 20 minute drive, so come prepared or just pass through here. The drive up is a hazard in terms of road maintenance. .

    The rooms were not cleaned and the toilet was actually full of crap so we had to call them and they cleaned it right away. The staff seemed to be overwhelmed, and the bathroom was extremely small so for one night it was not bad but can't stay for a few more days. The rooms were very cramped and when you enter the door could only be opened partially as it hit the bed. The configuration of bed placement was poor. That said, the location of this hotel was excellent and the staff were very pleasant to deal with.

    Stunning sea views which could be enjoyed from inside the property or out on the deck. Excellent facilities and well maintained property, cleaned to a high standard. Hosts were friendly and very accommodating. We were left alone to enjoy our break but had support on site when needed. Superb onsite staff. Our heating had stopped working but this was resolved quickly and didn't intrude on our short break. There were some lovely onsite gift shops. There was also a cafe which we didn't have time to visit. There is also a small post office a short walk away with a few essentials available if needed. We prepared our own food and found the kitchen facilities and equipment in the kitchen to be fantastic. I would have preferred less outdoor lighting at night to reduce light pollution for viewing the beautiful night sky.

    We went for the walking and took the John O'Groats trail. As we went on Boxing day it was all closed, but there are a few shops there worth a look. You can drive all the way and there is parking at £3 per day.

    We enjoyed a boat trip whilst at John O'Groats even though we didn't see any dolphins or whales. The local brewery with attached bar was a great place to spend an afternoon. We enjoyed a nice evening meal at the Seaview Hotel just two minutes drive from our accommodation. There were a few tourist gift shops where you can stock up on all your gifts for friends and family. There is also the famous signpost where everybody has their photographs taken.

    The Seaview Hotel is a great place for a stopover when visiting John O Groats. We had a lovely room with a sea view which was very comfortable. Friendly and helpful staff on hand. The bar is a lovely area to relax after a long day with excellent home cooked fayre at very reasonable prices. Although we were only there for one night, our stay was very enjoyable.

    Clean and beautifully appointed room and ensuite, with top quality linen and towels. The views across Pentland Firth and John O Groats were amazing. Our hostess, Gail, was great company and provided many little touches to make her guests welcome. Breakfast was delicious, and, as we didn't need a full breakfast, she made sandwiches for our onward trip.

    Puffin Cottage was a clean, cosy base to explore this corner of Caithness and get the passenger ferry to the Orkneys.The owner was welcoming and explained how Puffin Cottage operated on this working farm. Our room was very neat and clean. The local hotel with a restaurant was next door and the ferry was a short walk away.

    Location just on the outskirts of John O'Groats ideal for visiting the famous sign post. Fairly basic hotel in terms of decor but its clean and tidy. Staff very friendly and helpful. Had evening meal and breakfast and couldn't fault either. Would recommend the hotel.

    Amazing location, a small walk away from John o groats / 2 minute drive away. The property had very secure parking and the owner was nice and friendly. The cottage itself has history which is interesting, and for the price you can’t go wrong

    The breakfast was amazing! I also ate my dinners in the bar of the hotel and they were very good and priced reasonably. My room and bed were very comfortable. It was a short walk down to the harbour for my 1 day tour of the Orkneys.

    Gordon, our host could not have been more helpful as our Orkney Tour was suddenly cancelled. He also drove us to the hotel for our dinner so that my husband could have a drink with his meal. (Zero alcohol for driver in Scotland).

    Both the cottage and the setting are lovely. Spacious and comfortable with everything you need. Lots to see and do in the area. The coastal path is lovely for an after dinner walk out to John o Groats and Duncansby Ness.
