All as expected and needed. The room was very adequate with own bathroom. The kitchen area was easy to use with breakfast available. The location was ideal being central to amenities and transport and It was perfect for a brief overnight stay
There was nothing not to like. All good.

Most important. Helpful hosts and good room. Stayed open for our late arrival Friendly staff The kitchen area was easy to use and access to breakfast materials was sufficient for the needs of guests. I would recommend it to anyone.
I had a bit of a struggle with the access as I had pins in my leg and my partner also had steel pins in her foot. However, the staff helped with our bags so it was not a problem for us. They also made sure we did not fall as we are both of the older generation of pensioners.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it was excellent value for money
6 / 10Average·Nov 2026
Convenient for Thurso.
Bed was dirty, mattress was wet. When we were moved to a different room, the heating didn't work. Generally very down market. I wouldn't want to stop here again.
