I stayed here with some friends a few weeks ago. The Hotel is nice, rooms were a good size, well appointed and very clean. The staff were helpful and friendly. When we checked in they also booked a dinner reservation for us as it was a Friday and they said it will get busy. When we came down for dinner we were seated promptly, and we had drinks served fairly quickly. Our server came and was helpful with recommendations. That's where it went wrong. We had our drinks and waited for our food and waited and waited some more. We could see that the place was busy so we tried to be patient but then we noticed two people that arrived after us got their food, ate and left. Then another table was sat, probably a good half hour after us and now their food had arrived! I spoke to the person in charge, she apologised and told me they were short of kitchen staff, that may well be the case but I have a feeling our order was missed. My friends and I are reasonable people, perhaps just coming to the table and saying "sorry for the delay, we are short staffed but we haven't forgotten you" would have sufficed. Anyway, the food was very good, and they did provide us with a couple of complimentary drinks and a couple of Irish coffees to make amends. Overall our experience was a good one, the wait aside, these things happen but maybe just communicating with the diners would have made a big difference.

Just had a great week stay. In Thurso area for work, so a limited choice. As always, the hotel, the staff, the restaurant and the room were all very good. Well located for visiting the sights. Definitely the place to stay if you are in the Thurso area.

Recently returned from a fantastic week at the Park Hotel, Thurso. I couldn't fault the hotel. Service, food & atmosphere all excellent. Comfortable room with all I needed but more importantly than any of that is the staff. …

Went for dinner. We did not have a booking, although they were busy as a bus load of people had just arrived, they fitted us in. The food was very, very nice and lots of vegetables ( which have lacked on our trip around Scotland). I would definitely recommend eating here. I don't know about the accommodation as we were not staying there

We had a problem at breakfast we had to wait a long time for items to be cooked to replenish the buffet even though they we're aware what time we were coming for breakfast. Things came out one at a time. Unacceptable

We had a great stay in Thurso. The hotel is ideally located, just outside Thurso on the A9. The staff were super friendly, the food was excellent and very reasonably priced. If you're looking for a base to explore the North coast, it's ideal. Highly recommended.

Rooms are quite nice. Relatively modern. Bathroom was fantastic. Great spacious hot shower. High quality towels. Super modern. Radiators are new but made strange beeping noises. …

Loved this place. We stayed only one night as we were just passing through on our NC500 journey. Plenty of off-street parking. The rooms were a bit dated, but quiet, comfortable and clean. The staff was very friendly and the food was excellent, as was the service. Highly recommend.
