About this place

Situated in the heart of Thursos, this hotel is the perfect base for business trips as well as relaxing holidays or tours along Scotland's North Coast and the Scottish Highlands. The hotel is close to the local beach and shops, and Orkney is just a short ferry-crossing away, giving guests the ideal opportunity to visit the fascinating island. The hotel is around 20 minutes from the Castle of Mey and the former Highland residence of the Queen Mother. The hotel maintains a warm and friendly atmosphere that makes it one of the most well-loved hotels in northern Scotland. The establishment offers charming guest rooms, decorated in a traditional Scottish style and featuring modern facilities such as wireless Internet access, a free view TV and tea or coffee making facilities. The hotel's restaurant serves up a wide range of freshly prepared dishes of the region. Guests are, of course, also invited to take the time to enjoy a fine glass of beer in the lounge bar.
