Great location for us seeing the north of Scotland. Some of the most amazing views in Scotland and the northern most beach in the UK. Victoria was the perfect host.

Beautiful, welcoming B&B
A lovely warm welcome, beautiful decorated room, the most comfy bed of our whole trip, a stunning guest house with a lounge and a snug. Host was so accommodating for breakfast, we requested 7:30 as we had a ferry to catch, this was not a problem, porridge was made to order and delicious, continental selection was varied with plenty of options for every one. It was a shame we only stayed for one night.

Greenland House B&B
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.

Right in town and just far enough out of Thurso to avoid the noise. Gas station right down the road and beach the other way, good for a stay with friendly staff and quite accommodations.
