I really like staying at The Pentland, ok it’s a bit old and draughty, it could probably do with a bit of tlc but it’s full of character and the staff are top class, super convenient for work too. If I’m staying in Thurso and they’ve got room then I’m staying there :-)

This is an old refurbished hotel. Sloping floors, water damage in the bathroom, shower faucet didn’t work, non working towel heater, hot rooms and up two flights of stairs. A large bus group was there at the same time, also a wedding reception. Heard the band until midnight and breakfast wasn’t replenished quickly enough after the bus group went through. A young gentleman (looked about 14) was on his own trying to keep up with fresh coffee/tea, clean tableware/clean tables; too much for one person. Friendly staff and seemed concerned when we mentioned the non working items. Most likely would look for something more suitable to our liking next time.

Room had lovely high ceilings and was very clean. Solid dinner at the pub and an excellent buffet breakfast included. Parking is an issue unless you are happy to leave before 9am (no onsite carpark, 1 hour max between 8am-6pm on the road). The rooms are also very outdated and smaller than I expected, and really do need modernising for the £ that is being charged. Overall was okay for a night, but would not return.
