Lovely old house, high ceilings etc
Nice lounge
Room was good apart from bathroom door didn’t close. Toilet flushing inconsistent
Breakfasts very good with plenty of choice
Lady owner very welcoming, sociable and helpful
We had a lovely welcome, a very pleasant stay for the stop over night we were there. Clean room with everything you needed.
Breakfast selection was good, though would have liked to have the option of a Scottish breakfast to complete the experience.
The perfect spot to spend a night or nights. Ideal location, amazing facility. Historic building which has been painstakingly restored. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and there are two lounges to relax in. Off street parking. Close to everything.
Really beautiful B&B. Host Victoria was very helpful. We would definitely recommend staying here. It is a very traditional building, yet has all the modern conveniences you need. Lovely choices for a delicious breakfast. Thank you!
Nice old property with big rooms, just outside Thurso, plenty of things to see and do in the area. Easy to find and plenty of off street parking. The hosts were nice and breakfast options are great

easy to find on main road.
can use breakfast room in evening for eating your take away. lovely breakfast.
Overall a good stay. The check in times are strict, no chance of getting in a touch early. Not many food options around for evening. Breakfast was good. Probably wouldn't choose the shared bathroom option if I had a choice, being on the top floor with bathroom next floor down was a bit of a chore. Secure parking for motorcycle round the back.
