Quick stop off on the way to Orkney. Lovely room, great location, lovey staff.
The Park Hotel - Where the atmosphere & surroundings are as welcoming as the food. Why not go all the way! To Caithness, the land beyond the Highlands and enjoy the hospitality at the Park Hotel.

Fabulous breakfast will all local produce, especially the black pudding. I ate at the Park every evening and the food was delicious. The room was large, clean and had a great wet room type shower.

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.

- 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. 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)
Everything!! Best stay ever! The Lady that greeted us in the reception and did our check-in was exceptionally professional, friendly and went beyond and above. The room was spotless. Nice decor, perfect bathroom and comfortable bed. They provide breakfast for an extra fee. Car parking just in front of the hotel. Coffee and teas with lovely shortbreads. If ever again on NC500, we are definitely, coming back. By the way, Thurso is a beautiful little town ❤ hotel few mins away from city centre and 10min away from the seaside.
The house as a whole was spotless and well appointed. Our room was very comfortable, with a lovely view of the water. While every aspect of the stay was wonderful, best of all were the hosts who were just spectacular. They were welcoming and so lovely to talk to—they offered first rate tips and kept our spirits high in spite of some troublesome travel mishaps. Thurso was our first stop in Scotland, and Westlea set the bar high for every other stay to follow. Thank you, Michael & Corinne!
After a trip of many hours by bus from London through Scotland, to discover the hotel and its fantastic owner was a treat by itself. She was so friendly, helpful and funny that it will definitely be the place we would recommend in Thurso to sleep in.
Friends of environment and sustainable development be welcome, as there is a whole guide in the rooms on how the place is trying to keep the world a better place, as well as advice on what to discover around you.
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.
Not much. Probably leaving was the best thing I liked! The other travellers I met was the good thing about being here. The Italian couple who came from Italy on a bike, Australian man, and German man. Its a shame came to Scotland and stayed here. It gives other travellers a bad view of our country.
Basically everything that was offered was provided. The bedroom was comfortable, clean but nothing special. The breakfast was adequate, but lacked anything special, and no fish options were available, which is always a shame for a coastal location. So a reasonable hotel, but lacked any sparkle.
We spent 10 days in Scotland across the low and the highlands. Westlea B&B was - by far - the best place we have been to. We had a room overlooking the Orkneys. Rich and plentiful breakfast. Beautiful and spacious bedroom. B&B is run by a very warm and welcoming couple. Definitely recommended.
The hotel is just a short hop to the ferry We had a downstairs room that was comfortable and clean and a window that looked out on the street. A bar and a few restaurants are next door. The furnishings are pretty basic, but adequate. I think a bit high priced though.
Location was good - not far in the car at all from main town of Thurso. Host was very friendly and welcoming and even allowed us to meet/feed and groom her 3 highland cows which was superb! Room was immaculate and fantastic value for money! Couldn’t recommend enough
It was nice to have the whole house after several nights of just rooms. It was nicely furnished, conveniently located ( we walked to explore Thurso and find food), the host was responsive to our needs. My bed was wonderful.
Loved this hotel! The staff were incredible, the room was impeccably clean, cosy and comfortable, breakfast was great and the location is convenient and central to the town. Will definitely return next time we're in Thurso!
Room was clean and comfortable with fab shower.
Hotel is dog friendly and even have an eating area where your dog can be with you. Evening meal was outstanding with a good variety on the menu. Breakfast was excellent too!
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.
Good price park outside room ground floor access friendly staff . If only there were Weigh Inns throughout Scotland it would be perfect for my holiday accomodation needs
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!
