I just stopped for a pint because I had a long wait for a bus in the evening. Friendly staff and clean and comfortable bar.Sadly choice was limited and no snacks available due to logistics issues that are widespread at the moment. It would not be fair to drop two stars for issues outwith the staff control.

Cracking pub with a very fine "session" on Wednesday night from 8pm. Welcoming staff and locals. One beer on cask - a tasty pint of red goose from the old mill brewery.

The "Coms" is a well established Pub and enjoyed by the locals in Thurso Scotland. The Coms also includes a fine B&B. The rooms are very clean updated and comfortable. I have been in Thurso working temporary and I have been staying at the Coms. The owners are amazing, very accommodating and ensure your comfort. The housekeeping staff maintain everything spotless. I have enjoyed my stay
