Windhaven Camping And B&B - 4-Star Hotel in Thurso

Windhaven Camping And B&B offers budget twin rooms, large twin rooms, and camping pitches with sea views over Brough Bay. Each B&B room has a private bathroom, and guests can use the shared lounge area with TV. Camping pitches come with a table and bench, and the site provides a picnic area with outdoor furniture.

A full English/Irish breakfast is served daily, with guests selecting their preferred time and dishes using a breakfast card. Packed lunches are available for guests to take on excursions. The on-site cafe offers homemade cakes, with proceeds supporting the seal rescue centre.

The property houses a seal rescue and rehabilitation centre, where guests can observe orphaned seals being cared for. An on-site seal viewing point overlooks Brough Bay, where wild seals can be seen playing in the water. From April to September, the hotel organizes tours and activities, including guided walks and local culture classes.

The campsite is pet-friendly, with a dedicated fenced dog field opposite the site for exercise. A children's football park is available on the grounds. The family-run establishment is operated by hosts Phil, Clare, and Aunty Babs, who provide local insights and personalised service.
