What a stunning location. Natural Retreats is now taking bookings for The Inn at John O’Groats – opening mid-August – with a special offer with five nights for the price of three and three nights for the price of two at rates from £90 a night per couple.
The restoration of the iconic former John O’Groats Hotel is part of Natural Retreats’ multi-million pound regeneration of the picturesque natural wilderness in Caithness in the North of Scotland.
Originally built in 1875, the hotel has been restored over the past two years and has had a new Norse style extension. The Inn has bespoke self-catering apartments with one, two or four bedrooms – perfect for people completing the famous Lands’ End to John O’Groats ‘End to End’ Challenge.
As part of the regeneration project, Natural Retreats has worked hard to aid sustainability in the local economy. The Storehouse is an on-site co-operative shop selling local produce and goods including Old Pulteney Malt Scotch Whisky, freshly baked bread and speciality cheese. Local residents also provide the goodies found in every complimentary welcome hamper!
The area is brimming with birds and wildlife and is home to sea creatures including Minke whales, dolphins, porpoises, basking sharks and even killer whales. Activities include boat trips, trout fishing and Natural Retreats’ guides can arrange walks taking in the amazing Duncansby Stacks, a magnificent rock sea stack and the incredible Shell Beach.
