We have just launched our Official Accommodation Scheme for Orca Watch 2025 (May 24th – June 1st). The following businesses are once again generously supporting Orca Watch, joining our Sponsorship Scheme by making a donation. If you are thinking of staying in the Orca Watch area during 2025, they will welcome you with open arms. We will publish the details of more businesses as they sign up to the scheme.
Pentland Lodge House
“Situated near the centre of Thurso, it is convenient for exploring the North Coast being about 20 miles from John O’Groats (to the East). We are delighted that guests come to sample our area and love if they linger longer so if you stay for 3 nights or more we offer a 5% discount on all double rooms.”
“Our area is beautiful and to help explore we have prepared lots of information with favourite walks and tours. We particularly like the coast, the rocks, the sea and the birds. Favourites are the Oyster Catchers along the shore and the diving Cormorants. We are very interested in promoting “Natural Tourism” such as sky-watching (& Aurora), walking, and nature watching because it’s what we like to do ourselves, hence our support for Orca Watch.”
Windhaven Cafe, B&B and camping
Windhaven Cafe, B&B and camping overlooks Brough Bay, a land watch site, and is around a 20 minute drive from John O’ Groats, passing other land watch sites along the way.
10% discount on any accommodation booked either on the campsite or in the B&B.
John O’Groats Campsite
“We are a family run caravan and camping site also with 2 self catering caravans in the heart of John O’Groats. Our Campsite has panoramic sea views of the Pentland Firth and across to the Orkney Islands. We have a well stocked campsite shop with souvenir’s, supplies and a hot drinks machine, Duncansby Head is a short drive or walk away.”
“Our visitors are very lucky having had lots of sightings of orca and bottlenose dolphins in the past, hopefully we will be as lucky this year!”
