This is a lovely, old hotel in an historic building in central Thurso. It was quiet and comfortable and quite walkable to shops and restaurants in town. I had a great sleep and my room had a charming view. I did not eat at the hotel. …

Despite having lived in Caithness for more than 18 years, this was our first visit to their restaurant as we had been given a gift of vouchers. We had a friendly welcome. The menu was good with a lot of choices including vegetarian. …

We stayed in a room in the coach house part of the hotel. The room was massive and really clean and comfortable with a great en suite. |One of the best rooms we have stayed in since we left Cornwall over a month and a half ago. …

I stayed for 2 nights mid week. After a friendly welcome I was allocated an apartment. The apartment was in a separate building 2 doors down from the hotel entrance. Simple one bedroom set up. …

After a terrible experience at a nearby hotel, the Station Hotel was able to accommodate me at a reasonable price with 5 minutes’ notice in the busy summer period! The staff were lovely, the room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and I had a lovely cooked breakfast in the morning. Thank you!

Stayed at the Station hotel for two nights as part of an organised coach trip. We stayed in the main building. Our room was quite small and dated although very clean. The bar prices were expensive. The evening meal was nice but the breakfast was average. The staff were OK.

Creaky floors. Hot shower. Clean sheets. Quiet. Breakfast delicious and service at breakfast was excellent. Nice and patient staff. Centrally located. Tesco within walking distance. We were with a smaller tour group-Rabbie’s-they booked our room. Ate dinner at another location. Would stay here again.

Very honest, dog friendly Hotel at a great location. Staff is very friendly. The room was spotless and warm.There are dog walks right at the end of road, by the river.They offered us one of the separate rooms at the back of the hotel. No views as it oversees the car park, but it worked for us as we didn’t have to walk the dog through the hotel and worry about leaving a mess.The town was very quiet when we visited. Not many places to go for dinner and drinks, so we ended up having dinner at the hotel.The food was delicious and very well prepared!Thank you for the great stay.

Great location for both the station (obviously!) and the town. Room was very clean and bath + shower. Staff very welcoming. Breakfast is a choice of continental or Scottish. Did not eat there but had a couple of drinks in the bar which has big comfy sofas.
