This is a hostel so don't expect a 5* hotel. The room was clean the beds were a bit "springy" also all the rooms had en-suite, this hostel doesn't have parking, it was on street breakfast was in the kitchen/diner as was a help yourself, there was a good selection.

Compact wee town centre with a big Co-op supermarket.
Compact wee town centre with a big Co-op supermarket. People seem genuinely friendly & helpful. A train & bus station, nice beach & Scrabster nearby for ferries to Orkney. Good base for exploring round about & into Sutherland too for the beautiful golden sandy beaches an hour or so away at Armadale, Bettyhill, Torrisdale & Coldbackie. Lots of Stone Age relics to explore too.
A lovely but long journey up by train. Takes about 4 hours from Inverness. Only issues were leaving Thurso by public transport to catch links from Inverness to go further south as just 4 trains a day & nothing after 4.28pm weekdays. No buses seemed to leave Thurso for Inverness after 11.50. Buses take around 3 1/2 hours to Inverness. Good to book taxis as far in advance as possible as get booked up fairly quickly.

- bath leaked
- no phone in room

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)
This is our second visit to Braeside, and it was just as outstanding as the first a year ago. The quality of the pods have maintained a high standard, and the extra size to them makes a big difference in comparison to other pods we have stayed in. The kitchen area is big enough to prepare a meal, and the shower was the best we had across the multiple properties we stayed in during our Scotland holiday. There is also the added bonus of the hot tub with a view! What more can you possibly want?!
The breakfast was excellent. The location was perfect with a lovely view. Fantastic large room in a stunning, beautifully renovated, comfortable old house. But best of all were the owners, Michael and Karen. They were incredibly friendly and helpful, eager to inform about places to eat, and Michael even offered to bring us and/or our bags to the train station (it was just a ten minute walk). Such a wonderful place to stay!
This a modern hotel close to the centre of Thurso. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. We had a large modern room with a very comfortable bed and a view across the city. It was very quiet at night. The ensuite was a good size and spotlessly clean. There was good wifi and plenty of free parking on-site. The hotel has an excellent restaurant for dinner and breakfast was quick and easy for our early departure.
Our one night stay at Manor House was lovely. We were not able to get in for dinner, but even though the kitchen was closed they made a big bowl of chips for us when we asked. The bar was well-stocked with an award winning gin that was excellent. Our room was very nice with a comfortable bed, sitting area and nice shower. In the morning we had an excellent full Scottish breakfast, and then we were on our way.
Mark and Trish are very caring and evidently enjoy running their B&B. They were very accommodating of me cycling and provided safe storage for my bike. After my one night staying there, I cycled from there to John O'Groats and back towards Tongue - they kindly looked after my 2 heavy panniers whilst I did this.
Very big, nicely furnished room. Best variety of breakfast options I've seen in North of Scotland.
This was a perfect little room for one. I stayed two nights here. The two nights book ended my weekend trip to Orkney Island. I was allowed to leave my big luggage at the hotel, and when I returned, I was able to check in early, and my bags were waiting for me in the room.
Friendly welcome by the proprietor. Well furnished room and throughout. Lovely breakfast. The whole property was spotlessly clean. Good location with sea views. Ample parking in the area.
Would totally recommend staying at the Marine, whether for one night or seven plus.
The room was stunningly beautiful. The large window overlooking the sea was magnificent. Our host Michael was very friendly and helpful with recommending placed to eat and things to do in the area. The breakfast was one of the best I had in my entire Scotland trip.
We were allocated a studio room. The room was quite large and divided into an area with a sofa, chair and table and a sleeping area with a double and a single bed. The en suite was pretty large too! Staff were friendly and attentive. Thank you.
10 minutes walk from the station a fantastic little find on my travels in Scotland that I will use again Room was very nice food excellent short walk from the hotel to the beach front which is quite something to see at dawn ☀️ I recommend.
A pleasant hotel with friendly staff and good food (excellent dinner at a reasonable price). My room was comfortable - no "garden view" as stated on booking.com but it was quiet so ideal for a good night's sleep. Recommended.
Friendly welcome and friendly staff, comfortable room with a decent Tv. Fantastic breakfast with locally sourced goods. Best night sleep so far in Scotland doing the NC500.
