We had the family room with terrace. The room was huge and we had lots of space to spread out. All the amenities needed were available. The hotel had a free parking lot, and there was space to park the car even at 10 pm. The facilities, and in particular the bathroom, were clean and modern despite the historical building. The staff knew us by name even before we checked in, and they were fast and efficient with their service. The view is incredible since they are right across a waterfront.

We really liked the location and the decor of the hotel. The staff was extremely helpful especially the lady in the reception who understood the difficult situation we were in and couldn’t do enough to help us sort out our issue. She made sure that even when my mum did not speak a word English she will have everything she needs while we had to leave for couple hours. She also sorted out accommodation for us for another two nights, which was absolutely lovely with breathtaking views. The bartender from bar next to reception was also super helpful and sorted out dinner for us without previous reservation. He was polite, joking with our son and making sure that we have everything we need, which just added personal touch to the whole experience. We recommend the hotel anyone who is looking for excellent service, nice, cosy and elegant hotel, great food and lovely views. We will definitely come back here.

The castle boasts wonderful spaces, even if they aren't meticulously designed. It exceeded our expectations because we were given an apartment, which we didn't know...superlative! Comfortable beds and bathrooms. Excellent dinner (one of the best in Scotland) and breakfast too. Unforgettable panorama and silence.

Thurso still feels a generally friendly town.

Thurso still feels a generally friendly town. The Visitors Centre was excellent, very helpful friendly staff, with advice, directions and postcards. The beach is lovely, and the castle very picturesque, though I have no idea if you can go round it as it is on the opposite side of a long inlet and I wasn't about to walk all the way round there on the off-chance. Good amount of shops, and seemingly banks still in the town. YNot offers expensive but good quality food. If you want a walk, or have a car, the Ferry Inn in Scrabster is a great place to eat too.

It was central for my visit as I was travelling by public transport as I don't drive and wanted to do the NC500 I wanted to do some walking and visit local attractions like Whaligo steps John O Groats Duncansby Head and Stacks . Take a book and find a seat because buses are spot on time but not regular also wanted to walk to Castle Sinclair Girnigoe

The surrounding area is beautiful and well worth exploring.

The surrounding area is beautiful and well worth exploring. Rogie falls, the Touchstone Maze, Fyrish Monument and hill walk are all very close. The old train station of Strathpeffer is worth a look and there is also castle Leod, the seat of the Mackenzie clan which inspired the author of Outlander when writing her books, but check the website as it is only open certain days of the year. Dingwall is a good base when exploring other small towns also. It sit near a river which provides beautiful sunrises and views of the geese flying overhead

Dornoch surprised us with its beauty - a thriving little town with lovely little shops and obviously proud of its local history. Well-kept and clean it was a pleasure to walk around. The museum is excellent - well laid out presentations on different aspects and characters of the town's past and some interesting videos. The beach is beautiful too and well worth a visit. Plenty of choice for where to eat. We had an excellent dinner at The Eagle and lunch next day at the lovely Sandstone Cafe. Highly recommend both.

We only spent an hour there on a Sunday so it was difficult to judge as very few things were open. I would suggest that there are nicer towns nearby. However, there is a petrol station and an art gallery plus a little supermarket. The little Natal garden is sweet and it is possible to walk along a promenade near the water.

Vibrant small town with a liveley high street. Plenty of places to eat in or take-away. Alness is just of the A9 so a convenient location for travelling further north or south. Has a large supermarket and close to Morrisons is Dalmore Farm shop and restaurant which is a brilliant place to eat.
