We have had the pleasure of staying for one week in this hotel, and what a wonderful stay it was. The staff were extremely friendly, (particularly Hen who looked after us with local information, and at table), the cuisine was probably the best I have ever tasted (Sunday Carvery especially recommended). Rooms were warm and comfortable, and well tended to... more

We stayed here for 2 nights and chose this hotel as we were planning a trip to the Castle of Mey. We had found out we could get there by bus from the road outside the hotel; however in the end we hired a car so this was not necessary, but we did see the bus so it does run... more

The name has changed to the Castletown Hotel but the excellent service and the atmosphere are the same. Andrew was an excellent host and his brothers cooking skills were exemplary. A most enjoyable stay thanks to all the staff. This place comes highly recommended more

Stayed just overnight a couple of times here. On main Wick-Thurso road in Castletown. Hotel/pub with pub food (recommended) and a restaurant where breakfast and other meals can be taken. Food very good and plentiful. Chinese takeaway nearby but not sampled. This is an old hotel with rooms simply upgraded to en-suite shower room standard. Otherwise small and you could... more

Where to stay on business up north? That was the question of late, the answer would be The St Clair Arms Hotel. Having heard from a colleague, great reports of a quiet family run establishment just minutes away from Thurso with possibly the best place to eat in the north of Scotland, i decided to try it for myself and... more

Having reached the end of the road on our tour around the highlands we came across the St Clair Arms – what a find!! This family run hotel oozes hospitality, we were greeted by the owner with what can only be called the “best welcome from the highlands” Our room was adequate and convenient, with a lovely bath to have... more

I was booked into another hotel in thurso, but after reading reviews on this site I hastily called the travel agent to change bookings. before I set foot in the hotel I was impressed by the facade of this well kept building and on entering the reception area my opinion did not change. On booking in I found the hotel... more

Expecting a basic pub with a room and dreading it because arriving with toddler. However, the (fairly) new owners couldn't do enough to help us make the best of our stay. Arriving VERY late at night the Manager who welcomed us was still bright and chirpy serving us our breakfast the next day. Highchairs always set for us for breakfast... more
