Hillside Camping Pods and Shepherd's Hut, hotel in Keiss

Providing garden views, Hillside Camping Pods and Shepherd's Hut in Wick features accommodations and a garden. This campground provides free private parking and private check-in and check-out.

The Shepherd’s Hut was such a stunning property, small but perfectly formed! Such a clever use of space to make it incredibly cosy, comfortable and welcoming. Debbie as host has clearly put a lot of care and attention into making it feel so special and was a great host, both with pre-stay communication and in welcoming us at the accommodation. Could not recommend this place highly enough, it would be a pleasure to be able to stay there again.

Bower Pods, hotel in Keiss

Located in open countryside, Bower Pods is located in Bowermadden. Thurso is 9.9 mi away. Free private parking is available on site. There is access to a kichenette that features an oven and free...

Good glamping experience, small fire pit with some grill racks in an enclosed group of trees gives you privacy and somewhere decent to have a small BBQ. First time glamping so cant compare with others but we really enjoyed our stay and the host, Jenny was fantastic and very informative about what to do in the area, She sells burgers from her own farm and I highly recommend trying some over your little BBQ. The pods themselves were nice, warm and clean and the two separate beds we had could be made into one big king-size bed with loads of room. I'm 6ft 4 and weigh 16st and felt comfortable. Highly recommend and would be happy to stay here again

    Beautiful long sandy beach.

    Beautiful long sandy beach. An interesting wee town with a pretty wee harbor. Local pub food was tasty including locally poached salmon. Also enjoyed Wick Heritage Museum which is a treasure trove - left me with lots of respect for the sailors and gutters, Wick Harbor walk, Telford structures, St John's Pool bird hide and Forsinard Flows.

    There's not much in Keiss.

    There's not much in Keiss. But for a trip up that way it's perfect being roughly between Wick and John O'Groats. The wee hotels just off the high street did fantastic food at a very good price. Staff were very accomodating for me and my son's. The harbour, castle and beach made for a nice wee walk.

    Just a convenience place to stop heading to Dornoch. Easy access to Wick for evening meal, I recommend the No1 Bistro. There is a lovely secluded beach just north of Keiss and another much larger beach at Keiss itself.

    we liked the B&B best, didn't like the Village Inn (Sinclair Bay hotel) in Keiss, went there for an evening meal. 4 tables only in restaurant 3 reserved and one taken so we had to eat in the bar. Full of rowdy swearing locals. Food itself was terrible. Gammon steak,pineapple,chips and sweetcorn we had. Gammon was extremely salty, chewy and running in some sort of liquid. Chips were horrible, overcooked and hard, pineapple was cheap quality tin. Sweetcorn was ok !! would never go back and would never recommend eating there.

    Keiss has a nice little harbour, is really quiet and has a ruined castle slightly further up the coast and Sinclair Bay Hotel has possibly the best food in the Wick-John O'Groats area. A nice place to stop and break your journey.

    This property was listed on Booking.com for one room on May 26th. I booked it with seemingly success. The next day or so I get a call from the host that There was never an opening that night, She had a death in the Family, & that we weren’t going to be charged. I made another arrangement for Flotnair House just down the rd. in Keiss Scotland. The morning of the 27th I get an auto text that we were going to be charged for A Castle View for one Night of the 26th. I promptly called the Host back and She remedied the situation

    I'd say this cottage exceeded our expectations in every aspect. The owners have put a lot of thought into making this a perfect place for folks, and have thought of absolutely everything you might need in a cottage. Just the one night for our group of 5 adults and 1 child and we all loved the house, it was warm and welcoming. If you're looking for a 3 bed cottage with near perfect and clean amenities in every room in or around the Keiss area, don't think twice about going for this one.

    This apartment was the best we’ve strayed during our travels across Scotland. Its tastefully designed with ensuite bathrooms in all bedrooms and modern fittings and appliances. Keiss is a very picturesque coastal village in close proximity to Wick. We spent many hours at viewing points north of Keiss near Auckengill looking for the northern lights but unfortunately geomagnetic activity was low during our stay. We had a very comfortable and restful holiday in Keiss.

    Great B&B! Stayed for one night as a group of motorcycles touring the NC500. Maree was hilarious, knowledgeable and could not do enough for us. The rooms and facilities were excellent and the breakfast was great too. Awesome views of Old Keiss Castle and well located, being only 9 or so miles from John o' Groats. Will certainly consider this one as a prefered stay next time. P.S. Teddy the Pom was an absolute vibe too!

    Paul and Katie were extremely hospitable hosts. The day started with scrumptious breakfast they prepared. The stay was absolutely amazing. The room was as good as, if not better than a full-fledged hotel, just with a bit of added homey feel to it; we also got to witness the Aurora in full force due to the location. Highly recommended stay, whether on the NC500 or just an ad-hoc stop-over.

    Christine and Maree were warm and welcoming hosts. Their home had a wonderful view out to sea with Old Keiss Castle in the foreground and in the distance Castle Sinclair Girnigoe. Our room was spacious and comfortable with all the amenities needed for an overnight stay. Breakfast was tasty and delicious with a good choice of food. We would recommend Castle view to all NC500 travellers.
