I really like staying at The Pentland, ok it’s a bit old and draughty, it could probably do with a bit of tlc but it’s full of character and the staff are top class, super convenient for work too. If I’m staying in Thurso and they’ve got room then I’m staying there :-)

The Barman Duncan was quite the personality but this was the only good thing really. The breakfast was particularly bad with microwaved bacon, inedible mushrooms and hash browns and a staff member who was so unhappy I didn’t know where to look

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Easy to get to by public transport helpful staff. Considering the weather(Feb,cold windy) the whole hotel did not feel warm. My ensuite haď bath with over shower, water was hot but the bath had around rusty mark near the taps, the flooring was buckled and had three steps from the bedroom to bathroom bed was comfortable but the pillows were dreadful and certainly not hotel quality. Nice carpets throughout but the decor everywhere was tired and in need of modernising. As it was only three stars I was not expecting luxury but I felt it has the potential to look and be much better.

Located on NC500, so easy to find. Full breakfast was very good. Rooms were clean, but shower was interesting. Water just keep getting hotter and hotter. No elevator so hope you get a room on the first level.
