Top Dunnet Bay Beach Hotel Reviews

Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"This hotel does not have an elevator but the staff were more than willing to carry our bags upstairs for us. The restaurant was very busy with locals as well as travellers. The food was very good. It is also across the street from Tesco if you need to pick up anything."

Premier Inn Thurso

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean room. Quiet location. Even though next to the train tracks we never heard the trains. Beds were very comfortable. Great shower. Lots of free parking available."

The View by BIDE Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"L’hébergement est situé à côté de la plage de Thurso. La chambre est spacieuse et a une petite cuisinette ce qui nous a permis de se faire quelques repas."

Castletown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for one night. the whole of the staff were amazing, the food was excellent, no negative things to say about this hotel. Will use again. Thank you."

Northern Sands Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect stay after getting off the ferry at Gills Bay. Well appointed rooms and fantastic breakfast"

Manor House

8/10 Good

"Very convenient to Scrabster Ferry to Orkney. Unfortunately the owner charged all our rooms to the credit card of the one making the reservations & wouldn’t reverse the charges causing a bit of accounting inconvenience. Otherwise staff is good-working hard. The place has character of an old manor. Clean-rooms dated & vary a bit in degree of size & comfort. Restaurant decent-not a wide range of menu choices. Entertainment at night but too late in evening for us after touring. Breakfast was average-no pastries. No extras such as meat, cheese & rolls. Nondescript generic brand cereals. Acceptable but th money issue turned us off."

Broadhaven Road

10/10 Excellent

"The room was small but immaculately clean. It was ideal for a one night stay. I met Peter, the owner, and he was very helpful with regards getting about and recommending local places to eat. There was ample parking outside too. Whilst the other guests weren’t in any way noisy, unfortunately the walls are very thin and I could hear the slightest noise very clearly."

Greenland House B&B

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, spacious en-suite room in historic building. Great breakfast. Friendly and helpful owner. Recommend highly."

Mackays Hotel Wick

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay, super dog friendly too!!"
