We had a large room with a nice ocean view. Comfortable bed and good shower. Everything is new and the set up worked well for us. Watched the seals and surfers from our room while having breakfast. Would recommend if you are in Thurso. Very close to the ferry to the Orkney Islands.

We had the pleasure of staying with Ruth at the view. We were in a top floor penthouse room with stunning view to the sea & a small balcony to the rear Chatted with Ruth on arrival who kindly showed us to the room. Ruth explained it was a soft opening & a few finishing touches would be completed later. These didn’t spoil our stay. Lovely time with a friendly host you will not be disapponted. Many thanks Ruth ..

L’hébergement est situé à côté de la plage de Thurso. La chambre est spacieuse et a une petite cuisinette ce qui nous a permis de se faire quelques repas.
