Elegantly appointed, well-kept B&B with spacious rooms and high ceilings pleasantly located in Castletown close to a good beach, Castle of Mey, John O'Groats and Thurso. A converted bank house dating back to the early 1900s, it has tasteful decor, an elegant sweeping staircase and is serenely managed by the lady owner who is very pleasant and provides a good breakfast. Good value, really enjoyed our stay.
Nice old property with big rooms, just outside Thurso, plenty of things to see and do in the area. Easy to find and plenty of off street parking. The hosts were nice and breakfast options are great
Easy to find and smooth check in.
Lovely old house.
Nicely furnished
Friendly owner who was really helpful/ chatty.
Glad we were able to use dining room/ plates/ cutlery etc to eat our late takeaway- theres v little open in the village on a Sunday evening .
Room very cosy & comfortable.
Breakfast- plenty of choice and served quickly.
Will recommend to friends & definitely stay again,next time we're this far North in Scotland .
A true bed and breakfast experience with the opportunity to meet other guests if you wish. Great lounge areas and friendly host.

Excellent would recommend
No complaints hotel was very good with the host attentive, breakfast was very good although could use a better quality sausages as they tasted bland and cheap
This is a wonderful old building with so many beautiful decorations within it. Even though we didn't have an ensuite, our private bathroom was huge with good shower water pressure. There are two lounge rooms available and when we brought back some takeaway food from the local Indian restaurant, the owner suggested that we ate it in the dining room, something we wouldn't have ask to do. The breakfast was good and we really enjoyed our stay here.
Property and single person staff both very good.
Location remote from choice of places to eat. One hotel and one Indian take-away only choice. Hotel full and unable to provide food. Indian take-away basic.
For choice --need to drive to Thurso, so next time will find accommodation in Thurso.
