The Holborn is a family run hotel situated in Thurso, a 5-minute walk to the beach. It offers en suite bedrooms with tea and coffee making facilities, TV and free Wi-Fi.

The hotel is also within walking distance to the town centre, river walks and quaint harbour areas. The Castle of Mey and the Orkney Ferry Terminal are all nearby.

Got great friendly welcome by Tom. Most accommodating and helpful in arranging my taxi transfer for the following day (from John O Groats back to Thurso). Excellent food (Rancher Burger) in his bar replenished energy after a long day's cycle. Breakfast the following morning in Red Pepper (with friendly helpful service) set me up lovely for my final day's cycle to John O Groats. Really enjoyed my stay in the Holborne. Thank you all. Thank you Tom.

    Charming and plenty of room! Our bedroom had a separate living room which was quite convenient. The hosts were the best part. Both Mark and Trish are incredibly warm and welcoming. Mark has a wonderful sense of humor and Trish’s cooking—fantastic!!! We loved our interactions. Thanks Mark and Trish!

    Quaint cottage which was very spacious. Equipped with everything you will need for a self catering holiday. Very nicely decorated and comfortable beds. Great location to the little town and to the beach. Parking was no issue outside on the street.

    Our hostess was charming and gave us a warm welcome. Bed was comfortable, breakfast was fantastic. The place is 5 minutes walking to the city center and from there you have beautiful places in north Scotland to visit.
