Good old TripAdvisor triumphs again. Partly because of all the excellent reviews of this B&B on TripAdvisor we decided to book a night here on a tour around the north of Scotland in May 2013. It certainly lived up to it's rating on here. The decor was lovely in a house with character (a former farmhouse with a bit of... More

We were made to feel very welcome by Raymond and Carol. Our room, The Royal Dornoch, was huge , beautifully furnished and absolutely immaculate. The breakfast was outstanding too with views out to Hoy as a bonus. We were amazed that this only cost £70 per night! As well as falling in love with Caithness, Pennyland House is An attraction...

I can't fault it, everything you would want is here, everything is top quality, so very comfortable, masses of hot water too. Breakfast is huge and delicious and you can... More

Carol and Ray are such good hosts, making sure we had everything we needed through-out our stay. Breakfast was superb with lots of healthy options and freshly brewed coffee. Our room was a good size with such a gorgeous big bed! Just wait until you sample the amazing bath! So nice to be able to stretch out and soak our... More

Although we usually use TripAdvisor to search out our hotels/b&b I must admit that we do not always follow up our stay with a review. In this case however we felt that the attention to detail and hospitality shown by our hosts at Pennylands warranted our comments, if only to supplement the many glowing reviews already posted by others.

Catol and Raymond could not have been more accomodating. Ferry cancellations dissarranged our entire holiday necessitating last minute changes of dates of travel. Carol and Raymond were kind, patient and exceedingly helpfull. They were able to refer us to a (nearly) equally memorable B & B nearby when they could not accomodate us. Comfortable room with a generous bathroom and... More

We stayed at Pennyland House for three nights in April '13. A warm welcome was received from Raymond and Carol, who were thoughtful and kindly hosts throughout our stay. We stayed in the St Andrew's room, overlooking the sea, and could watch the ferry for Orkney come and go. The bedroom and bathroom were both very spacious and attractive. In... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Pennyland House is located on the edge of Thurso in a quiet, but convenient location and boasts wonderful views of the Orkney Islands, Dunnet Head, Scrabster and Thurso Bay. It is a three story building dating back over two hundred years. Built in 1780 it is historically noted for being the birthplace of Sir William Alexander Smith, the founder of the Boys Brigade. Over the past few years we have sympathetically renovated this historic building and turned it into a comfortable and interesting bed and breakfast for our guests. Although not yet rated, we are confident that you will not be disappointed with the quality and service during your stay with us. We have enjoyed putting our personal stamp on Pennyland House and have tried to reflect what we believe people want in a 'home from home'. ... more   less
