About Windhaven Café, Camping & B&B
Windhaven Café, Camping & B&B is a unique coastal campsite located at Brough, close to Dunnet Head — the most northerly point on the British mainland. The site itself proudly holds the title of the most northerly campsite and café in Britain, offering dramatic sea views across the Pentland Firth towards Orkney. The campsite provides grass tent pitches, motorhome spaces with optional electric hook‑up, a cosy on‑site café and comfortable B&B rooms. Facilities include toilets, hot showers, laundry (seasonal), dishwashing and a dog‑friendly environment. Windhaven is a popular NC500 stop thanks to its remote coastal setting, wildlife viewing opportunities, cliff walks and proximity to Dunnet Head Lighthouse. It’s a peaceful, scenic base for travellers exploring the far north of Scotland.
