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.

Hotel position and friendly staff were good, but the online description of the hotel and facilities was not accurate. Very disappointing.
- room not serviced for three days
- initial room smelly and mouldy
- had to ask for soap and toilet paper
- advertised food items for breakfast not provided
- bath leaked
- no phone in room

Some of the best place to eat in UK.
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 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.
Absolutely stunning !!😍
Had a 3 storey cottage in the Granary looking over the falls and hearing the rushing water all night gave us the best sleep ever! 🥰
Dinner was delicious and the pub and dining room were very old world Scottish which I love and we walked the grounds after dinner in the moonlight and it was magical !
A true delight as is all of Scotland 🏴🥂
Pleasant driveway to the property. Overlooks the River Forss and water falls. Undoubtedly an interesting country house hotel with nearby old cottage premises tastefully decorated to a high standard. Loved the array of old clocks adorning the tartan carpeted stairs and hallway. Ample parking with a good breakfast. Short drive away from Thurso.
Westlea B & B is gorgeous! We had a very large, beautifully decorated room with a great water view. The bed was very comfortable & the seating area overlooking the water was lovely. Michael & Karen are the best hosts! Michael had us laughing from the first hello. Breakfast was delicious! Thank you!
Thurso Bay Holiday resort was one of the best holidays we have had. Location was perfect. Views were amazing and the host was superb. We met her whilst staying there and she is very friendly.
Anyone wishing to visit Thurso or surrounding area, I would highly recommend choosing Thurso Bay Holidays.
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.
Very much like home away from home. Host was very proactive and supportive. Very central to town. Host provided a book of things and services in the area and had tourist info on hand. She also has a great library of books, many about the area and local wildlife.
Carrig Lios more than met our expectations. Our hosts were warm and friendly and made a great breakfast and the room was perfect, with views over farmland. Great location between Thurso and John o'Groats.
Comfortable stopover in chalet behind the main hotel. Facilities all a bit tired though staff friendly & welcoming. Had tasty evening meal in the hotel as very few places open in Thurso on a Sunday night.
Colin, the night manager. He prevented us from giving up on our first hotel room and leaving. But the second room had a busted tv, so it wasn’t that much of an improvement.
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.
The Staff were super friendly and on the ball
The kitchen/dinning area is awesome and the heat in the rooms.
Plus the garden bit at the back looked magic!
