The room was larger than I expected. It was a one bedroom apartment and very comfortable. The breakfast the next morning was good and the staff was very friendly.
The Park Hotel - Where the atmosphere & surroundings are as welcoming as the food. Why not go all the way! To Caithness, the land beyond the Highlands and enjoy the hospitality at the Park Hotel.

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.

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.
We stayed here twice - to and from the ferry to Orkney. The first time was in the Weigh Inn Lodges. Not as nice as the Inn itself. The Inn is great! Perfect location, extremely friendly and helpful staff (and they do everything from reception to the bar / restaurant). Less than 5 mins to the ferry. We had a huge room! Nice bathroom too. The restaurant is good - not gourmet but fine for us. The place is comfortable, homey and if you are going to Orkney (or driving the NC 500) this is place to stay!
The room was very comfortable and clean. The breakfast was large and delicious. We had vegetarian bacon, sausage, ham, along with scrambled eggs to our liking (we like dry eggs). But above all, Trish and Mark are very fine hosts. Mark gave us great ideas of things to go see, and both are great conversationalists. We will return to them if good fortune finds us in the Thurso area again.
Staff were welcoming and helpful
Good choice of dishes for both evening meal and breakfast which were well presented and delicious.
Room was bright and comfortable.
Good value for money (we had stayed at another hotel in the town the week before. It was of similar rating and price and the Park Hotel was by far the better of the two).
Great location on the NC500 route. Staff were very welcoming. The hotel overlooks the bay at Thurso and the ferry terminal is just down the road. The room was very spacious, with all the facilities, including a settee. The room was clean, warm and tidy. Also, I could park directly outside my room. Breakfast was superb.
We loved our stay at Pentland! The staff was incredibly nice & helpful throughout our stay. The food (both dinner & the included breakfast) were wonderful! We brought 2 dogs with us (one small, one large) & they were treated wonderfully & were very comfortable at the hotel. For the price, you can't beat it!
Thurso Bay Holiday resort was one of the best holidays we have had. Location was perfect. Views were amazing and the host was superb. We met her whilst staying there and she is very friendly.
Anyone wishing to visit Thurso or surrounding area, I would highly recommend choosing Thurso Bay Holidays.
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.
Friendly and welcoming from the very first. The staff here are unbeatable - I wish I could rate them 11! This is not a gimmicky, plastic, modern, luxury hotel - if you want that, go somewhere else. But if you want comfort and personal service, good food and solid value, come here.
Room #14 is the perfect room for a solo traveler. I had the best night of sleep there. The water pressure in the shower is fantastic. I arrived early and was able to check in early. The location is perfect for exploring the town and hoping on a bus or ferry for exploring.
Beautiful location, close to Thurso ( 8 mins drive) but in a quiet riverside spot. Wonderful walks around the mill buildings, and along the riverbank to the sea. Super comfortable beds. A very special hotel with everything done to a high standard.
The staff were super helpful and friendly. Beautiful room with amazing views. Service was terrific; food fresh, hot,v tasty. Loved my stay. Having stayed at other locations, will choose The Weigh Inn Hotel now, everytime!!
Everything was excellent. Our host even volunteered to drive us to the ferry when the taxi was unavailable. She was accommodating and so friendly. And the Manor House was perfectly located for walking about Thurso.
The hotel is well placed in the centre of Thurso with plenty of on street parking. Breakfast was self service but very good and the staff were friendly and helpful. WiFi coverage was excellent
Thurso is a smashing place and Pentland Lodge is handy for everything local. The room and other facilities were top notch and the breakfast was well cooked with high quality ingredients.
Everything. The greeting. The owners. The best breakfast in Scotland!!! The views. The hot shower. The walks outside. The beach. I could go on and on!!!
