Castletown itself is quite small, but literally on the outskirts of Thurso. While we were there, their one Morrisons had closed for a total refurbishment, so if you were looking for groceries or the like, you'd have to go a bit further. But the local hotel had a lovely restaurant and there are some other local shops that looked quite handy and nice!

The breakfast buffet was amazing, especially for a quiet winter season. I booked a single room but got upgraded to a beautiful double room. Only the fan in the bathroom was a bit noisy and ran quite long after using the bathroom. The Wi-Fi worked very well, great TV with many channels and a very cosy bed. Very friendly lady at check in. Enjoyed my stay very much.

Having most of my family there and knowing the area made it much easier for me to find my way around after being away for many years…. But overall an interesting village and surrounding area with excellent beach and miles of sand, also very picturesque

Excellent and high standard provided throughout, from service to bedding to breakfast tables to provisions by hosts Richard and Jane. Best B&B we have stayed in so far, 3 weeks into our trip. Excellent breakfast menu, comfortable large room, and, large ensuite. Very accommodating hosts. A 2 minute drive to Castletown to the local Hotel, for an excellent dinner. Ten minute drive into Thurso. Separate lounge area you can relax in. Can totally recommend.
The cottage was peaceful and cozy. The view of the bay and Dunnet Head was lovely. I hiked the cliffs of Dunnet Bay and Holburnhead. My phone stopped charging while I was there, and Chris from Caithness Phone Repairs was super helpful! He and, Jamie and George from PixelIT in Thurso. Jamie, thank God, had a wireless charger!
The Hotel staff were friendly and attentive, particularly with helping my wife and young son around with the buggy when i was at work. The hotel was clean and the food was really really good if not excellent!
The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. We will stay here again for sure!
hotel was lovely, always nice to find a dog friendly hotel, there was no tables available for dinner until late on and we had our 15month old with us so they did room service at no extra charge! The real beauty about this hotel is the staff, all 10/10
The house was quaint and wonderfully decorated with a sitting room and everything. The windows do let in a decent amount of cold air, but it is an older building and that is to be expected. With the curtains shut and the heat on you barely notice.
THE HOTEL WAS FIRST CLASS WARM CLEAN AND THE FOOD WAS FANTASTIC, THE MEALS AT NIGHT WERE UP TO A HIGH STANDARD AND THE BREAKFAST WAS JUST AS GOOD WITH A LARGE SELECTION FOR EVERYBODY.
THE STAFF WERE VERY HELPFUL AND NOTHING WAS A PROBLEM
A lovely surprise. Such a stylish and comfortable place to stay with accomodating staff. A great place for surfing, birdwatching, or visiting the beautiful Castletown beach. For us, it was the staging point for the ferry to Stromness.
The whole food experience at Castletown hotel was amazing ,we arrived just after the kitchen closed but the staff were so amenable and fed us like kings. the standard and quality of the cooking was high and presentation excellent.
Great hotel in a nice old house, renovated with great care and taste, great rooms, quality service from a lovely owner, great breakfast, a few minutes away from Dunnet Head, Castle of Mey & Duncansby Stacks. Loved it.
Small but clean room, friendly staff, good location, water pressure in the shower was great ( it is a big deal since so many small hotels/ b&bs have such a poor water pressure).
