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 overnight en route to the Orkney Islands the room we had was adequate but a little tired however it was only for the single night and we did have a dog with us, From the start we (and our dog ) were made most welcome from the staff and very friendly locals in the public bar we even... 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

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

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
