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

Offering a garden and sea view, Hillside Camping Pods and Shepherd's Hut is located in Wick, 9 km from Sinclair's Bay and 16 km from The Castle Gardens of Mey.

The pods are so cute! I travelled solo and there was just enough room for 1 suitcase. Heater works well and the sound of rain on the pod exterior is so relaxing. You can even hear nearby livestock, which just adds to the atmosphere. Friendly host and good tips provided inside the pod. Good news - the road is brand new and no more pot holes!

    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 property was out of this world. especially for this price range! location was spot on. right next to the famous John O Groats sign. the interior of our apartment was outstanding! a very high standards. spotlessly clean. Stephanie the manager called us a few hours before our arrival, wishing us a safe trip and asking if she could get us anything for our room like groceries etc. we met the manager Stephanie the next morning and she was absolutely delightful. looking forward to staying there again.

    We don't usually stay at B&B but this visit showed us we must consider these on future trips. This accomodation was like a home from home, friendly welcome, no fuss, we were offered the use of a second bathroom because it had a better shower, such consideration for the guest is rarely found in even 4* hotels. Breakfast, a continental, certainly set us up for the day. When we return to the area, and we will, we are planning to try and stay again.

    This beautiful B&B was beyond perfect. It was situated surrounded by fields, and had a view of the sea. We stayed in an en-suite room which was decorated beautifully. Gail was a very chatty, bubbly host and was very accommodating, nothing was too much trouble for her. We felt very at home there. This is by far the best B&B close to John o groats. You won’t be disappointed.

    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.

    It was a perfect location for visiting John O Groats. We went during our NC500 trip and was such an easy stop. Not much around, but the restaurant in the hotel is good. There is a great petting farm next to the hotel, and plenty of sheep running in the fields around! The bed was comfortable, and the staff was very helpful and kind. Would recommend!

    Despite the near monopoly it has in the area, the hotel is very welcoming, well maintained and a pleasure to stay at. Have to say that the shower in our room (#26) ranks amongst the best have ever had anywhere in terms of Power, Temp Control and Cleanliness.

    Gordon was wonderful. He grew up in the hotel business and does his best to make guest feel comfortable - including give lifts to the Orkney ferry to save us a mile walk. He even put our ferry tickets on his card when our transaction online failed. our hero

    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
