Fabulous breakfast will all local produce, especially the black pudding. I ate at the Park every evening and the food was delicious. The room was large, clean and had a great wet room type shower.

We loved our stay at the North Coast House. Great location with a shop just across the road to get any bits you need. The house was ovely and warm when we arrived. There was a really detailed info pack with takeaway recommendations, all the WiFi info etc. The house was clean and comfortable and really cosy. Would definitely recommend. We could have stayed longer!

Some of the best place to eat in UK. Outdoors is its selling point, if King Charles III has a holiday retreat nearby it must be the best in the World. Winter nights are dark and cold with limited night life.

We used Thurso as a jumping off and landing point for the Orkney islands. I wish we had more time in the Thurso area as I believe there is much more to explore. And don't miss the Sri Lankan restaurant in town!! your dinner may take awhile but that's because it is being cooked up fresh.

Thurso is a town that has seen better days, but most people are going to Thurso to visit John O Groats or to catch a ferry, rather than for the town itself. We stayed out of season so did not visit the beach. We enjoyed our walk to Dunnet Head, and spent our 2nd day visiting John O Groats and Wick. We recommend the Thurso Visitor centre / Museum (free entry, but donatiion requested)

The house is rather dark and drab.
The house is rather dark and drab. The pictures make it look much lighter. It was good for one night. It can be difficult to find somewhere which allows just one night. There was food in the freezer, and sheets in the dryer when we arrived. That was a bit odd. Otherwise, a good location, easy to find. Fine for one night.
The house as a whole was spotless and well appointed. Our room was very comfortable, with a lovely view of the water. While every aspect of the stay was wonderful, best of all were the hosts who were just spectacular. They were welcoming and so lovely to talk to—they offered first rate tips and kept our spirits high in spite of some troublesome travel mishaps. Thurso was our first stop in Scotland, and Westlea set the bar high for every other stay to follow. Thank you, Michael & Corinne!
We were very happy with everything at the hotel and will recommend it to our friends.Room was a good size and comfortable.Breakfast.We had continental and were very satisfied.Dinner. ...The soup was great,the main course was more than ample and the choice of dessert was good. Be prepared for the seagulls though. I had a red car in the morning it was black and white.The receptionist put me in the direction of nearest car wash though.Thanks.
Country house set in grounds with nearby river, falls and associated walks. A cut above most hotels in the this area, with good size rooms decorated in traditional style with modern facilities. Food matches the hotel, with a la carte and tasting menus. Excellent selection of whisky in the bar. Notably good service from a young team. Ideal location for Scrabster ferry (10mins) or exploring the very north of the mainland.
The hotel was easy to access from the main road,with its own parking.You could walk into town in 5 mins.The room was very comfortable and a brilliant bathroom, all exceptionally clean. The staff are very friendly however not in your face.The meals are just amazing, I loved my breakfast ! and good value for money. I would definitely stay again and recommend it to those who want to explore the north of Scotland.
This is a beautiful house, well decorated and cozy.
- The friendliness and cheerfulness of our host was outstanding
- Big plus was a fridge in our room
- The room was clean, there was enough room to put our bags and sit
- The breakfast was very tasty
- Hotel with a bar and restaurant is literally next door
- High performing central heating
- Close to Thurso and about 15 mins to ferry terminal to Orkneys
Not much really………very basic. Staff were pleasant but the hotel had no atmosphere. Better described as a pub with rooms and even had the restaurant been open I am not convinced the food would have met the standard that the menu led you to believe would have been available………staff absence had led to the closure of the restaurant on the night we were here so it was not the best time to evaluate facilities.
We stayed in the converted and charming mill cottage by the waterfalls. A group of six and had everything we needed, plus room to entertain. Comfortable & spacious with fabulous views of the falls. Had a private dining room in main hotel to celebrate a special birthday and staff very helpful organising the cake and decorations etc. You can walk along the river to the coastline from the hotel.
Everyone at the hotel made us feel welcome and extra little touches in the rooms also ensured we were comfortable. Walking distance to the station. Great breakfast and dinner menu. The owners were very easy going, allowing us to leave luggage while we traveled to Orkney for a few days, and provided a comfy lounge to spend a few hours before our train.
Not much. Probably leaving was the best thing I liked! The other travellers I met was the good thing about being here. The Italian couple who came from Italy on a bike, Australian man, and German man. Its a shame came to Scotland and stayed here. It gives other travellers a bad view of our country.
An extremely nice stay, lovely room, great breakfast - with very good quality local produce -cooked to order.
The hostess was extremely accommodating and helpful - nothing was a bother.
Throughout the hotel were items which indicated great attention to detail.
Very dog friendly.
Nothing about this hotel. Thurso is quite run down which I didn't realise. The rates for this hotel seem to be on the back of the NC500 popularity but are far too high for this hotel. Only outstanding thing about this overnight stay was finding YNot. Outstanding restaurant.
We realized that Thurso is a great location for trips to the north and that's why we extended our stay twice here. It is a very spacious apartment with the main amenities you may need. Friendly and helpful owner, too. Really enjoyed our 3-days here. Thank you.
We were in the quiet rooms and they were excellent. Large beautiful room and it was dog friendly. They provided dog bowls, dog treats and towel for the dog which was a nice touch. There was a good choice at the breakfast buffet. The hotel has a restaurant too
Area was comfortable and adequate for a bed for the night. Very cheap, so great value for money, its not terrible but no 10star resort. Pretty average. Clean but old looking. Parking was good, although hard to locate and un-supervised.
Carrig Lios more than met our expectations. Our hosts were warm and friendly and made a great breakfast and the room was perfect, with views over farmland. Great location between Thurso and John o'Groats.
Great location, comfortable and clean. Great for a group, family or friends. Comfortable shared areas of the kitchen and living room. The cottage was well decorated. Would stay here again.
