Beautiful B&B
This is a beautiful B&B, tastefully decorated, charming and comfortable. Breakfast was very nice. The guest lounge was lovely too.
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

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.

Very friendly owner greeted us on our arrival and showed us to our room. The space was roomy, well organized, and quiet. The common areas were very pretty and welcoming. We had to catch an early ferry and the owner made every effort to ensure that we had a good breakfast before we left. I would recommend this hotel.

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.
