    The Royal Thurso has been around for a very long time. It has a comfortable and charming atmosphere. The staff were quietly efficient and the restaurant was delightful. We really enjoyed our time there.

    Stayed for one night, great location just across from the beach with walking distance to shops & restaurants. The hosts (Karen & Michael) have tastefully restored the property bringing warm & charm to the place, as well as being fantastic at making us feel at home and served up hearty breakfast that kept use going all day long. Highly recommended! Just a note the twin room has private (big) bathroom that is outside the room off the hall/stairway - some may prefer taking some slippers.

    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.

    A real hidden gem in the countryside, with charming hosts, Carmel and her husband were really nice. Breakfast was delicious and fulfilling, presented in a way a five-star hotel would envy :) Location is very private and quiet, with a beautiful garden.
