House of the Northern Gate
Words can’t describe what a wonderful place this is. So beautiful and peaceful. Our family had such a great time and made once in a lifetime memories during our stay. If I ever come back to Scotland I will definitely stay again. Don’t miss this if you are making this trip.

Pentland
Very nice hotel, center of town, welcoming staff and the food was very good. Floors are a bit creaky due to buildings age. Thurso seems to be a stop for people going on to Orkney, but if i needed a base to see Caithness, i would stay at the Pentland. Single room reasonably priced.
