    Spacious accommodation with unique features like patio doors opening to expansive gardens. The atmosphere reflects a rustic hunting lodge charm with distinctive decor that feels inviting and quaint.

    Parking in the woods might be a hassle, especially with luggage. The route to the accommodation involves navigating winding spiral stairs, which can be a nuisance after a long day. Some decor elements, like the threadbare stair carpets and the coffee table with cup stains, hint at a need for maintenance. The lighting in certain areas is subpar.

    Had really comfortable 1 night here. The room was spotless and impressive with fine bathroom and central heating, an iron and a work desk. The decor was traditional and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. The service was terrific during my stay.

    charming atmosphere
    really good staff
    cozy room
    bar hours
    dated bathroom

    The location is gorgeous, and the whole place has charm & history. The staff were really good, super friendly and helpful. My room was cozy and warm, really comfy. Breakfast was served quickly and was way better than any restaurant.

    Was a bit disappointed that the bar didn't open until later and our room could've been a bit more updated. The bathroom felt a little old-fashioned.

    Marvellous and charming setting.

    Historic building in the middle of Thurso. And near to a Scottish manor house, the river, and the ferry port at Scrabster. Central heating, TV set and a writing table in the room and the exceptionally comfortable bed. Large separate bathroom...

    waterfall views
    private dining room
    spacious cottage
    lack of fridge

    Perfect for our group getaway, offering plenty of space and a private dining room to celebrate a birthday. The surroundings were peaceful, and we enjoyed walking along the river. The local surfing community was a great addition to our experience!

    One downside was that there wasn't a fridge available to keep drinks cool. This was a minor inconvenience but worth mentioning.

    minor inconvenience

    The room was spacious with a super comfortable king-size bed, and the views of the nearby waterfall were amazing. The staff were friendly. Enjoyed a good breakfast that really set the tone for the day.

    The bathroom facilities were a bit dated.
