No complaints apart from rude breakfast service

No complaints about the room or check in. Hotel very quiet. Only let down by the breakfast service by a chef who seemed annoyed by having to serve and was almost comically rude

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 :-)
