🏠🏡Neighbours who get on so well, they even holiday together! Lovely to have Tamsin and crew on site for five glorious sunshiny days. We think Surferpup 🐶🏄🏻‍♂️ might have had the best time, don’t you? 🤩

Guest photos!!! Walter and Susan, seasoned caravanners and truly lovely guests, fully embraced the spirit of ‘slow tourism’ during their 7-night stay with us here at the top! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 We’re delighted to share a selection of Walter’s stunning photos — a perfect reflection of the peaceful pace and natural beauty that Scotland’s north east coast has to offer. Thank you for capturing it so wonderfully! 📷 💕

So happy when guests share photos they’ve taken 📸. Nuwan and his family stayed in Pod One in April during their NC500 trip - and loved it. 🤩 Thanks Nuwan!💕

Do we just stay in and watch tv in the low season? Absolutely not! 🤩. It’s great to be able to finally have enough time to get involved with local projects. Our lovely Jo is part of Dunnet Climate Cafe had a fab few days helping out at Dunnet Community Forest last week. A lovely place to visit and only 15 minutes away.💕🌲🌳💚

Dunnet Climate Cafe organised a special event at the weekend for local people to show their love for the community forest at Dunnet.

Need another reason to make a trip to the top?…… Not only can you get a selfie with the sign, but now you can also pose with Paddington Bear himself! 🧸 Jo’s already been to introduce herself😀 Twenty-three statues have been installed from John O’Groats to Land’s End as part of the Paddington Visits trail - the one at JoG is only one of three in Scotland. .

Remember the 1st September sunset post? 🌅 Well … it’s the 30th today and yet another lovely evening to end September in the far north 💕. We’ve fared better than most parts of the UK the last few weeks - here’s hoping the sunny weather continues for our October visitors 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿☀️

Always something to do on site and nothing more satisfying than a straightforward job like replacing the pitch electricity usage viewing casings - in glorious sunshine too! ☀️ !

💕 Fantastic set of photos taken by Pitch 4 (aka Al & Sara) yesterday. Sunny for drone pics during the day and clear enough between the cloud to catch last night’s Aurora display! Lovely guests too - thank you so much! ☺️
