room Hairy Mary was fabulous . Huge -Massive comfy bed , wonderful bathroom.needs somewhere to put sponge bags as wee shelf too small. Toiletries fabulous Room needs a mini fridge and nespresso coffee machine - not a huge investment but at £350 per night BB it would elevate the experiance . bedside cabinets and dressing table in that room were awful - looked as if they came from a 2nd hand shop - defo need replacing .only 5 hangers but a simple fix. room needs a handyman for a couple of hours touching up paint especially at the entrance . ALL the staff were excellent 10/10. Loved the wee bars and sitting rooms with all the history of Forss house . Fab canapés . V surprised at size of queenie scallops - tiny , over cooked and only 3 and @£19 so not great value . Halibut was Devine and cooked perfectly 👍 Pork belly was not slow cooked enough and was tough.Hassleback pots - cannot use new pots - not crispy and no garlic . Venison and sea trout fabulous . Choc mousse fabulous but lemon tart a big disappointment- so thin and not sharp . Delicious petit fours 👏👏 We were sat at the end of the conservatory and my view was the kitchen extraction fan with a very rusty pipe on the wall and a lot of weeds and pots with old dead flowers . There was fat from the extractor fan all down the window . Some one needs to sit there and just look at what customers see - some well planted pots and a tasteful screen , huge difference. Breakfast faultless. Thankyou 👏👏

You must try the restaurant for dinner. The food is over the top, best scallops prepared perfectly. Everything was excellent. Staff incredible. Romantic and quaint with so much charm.

I am basing this review on the price paid and in that respect the photo on Hotels.com is flattering to say the least. The room was fine but the rest of the place was really tatty. It is very tired and certainly substantially over priced. Of all the hotels we have stayed in this was by far the most disappointing. Hotels.com please revise your photo

A gem in Thurso. The staff was great and the hotel itself was a great experience. Spacious rooms and a beautiful setting

The ladies who served breakfast were absolutely fantastic, super friendly and efficient. Unfortunately we were horrified by the appalling service on arrival, after an extremely long drive we were met by a grumpy member of staff who closed the bar 45 minutes earlier than advertised . This was a a trip we were most looking forward to, after visiting several times before, we found the hotel run down, poorly maintained and lacking in cleanliness in several areas.

The location was absolutely beautiful and we loved the hiking trails around the property. Unfortunately, the food was not good and there were very little options for a vegetarian. The sautéed mushrooms were limp and greasy. The carpets in the main house were dirty and had holes in them. The floor in the granary cottage made your feet dirty after a shower and we found a snack wrapper from a previous guest under the coffee table in the living room area of our cottage leading us to question the housekeeping standards. We had to kill thirteen spiders when we arrived and seven the next day. I k ow it’s the country, but proper dusting and some mint oil would go a long way in terms of pest abatement and management.

Beautiful hotel, comfortable rooms, great staff! Definitely the best we stayed at om the NC500, and a highlight of the trip. Food is ambitious, but has room to improve.

We stayed in the Miller’s Cottage 2 and thoroughly enjoyed it. Wonderful dining for dinner and breakfast in the Forss House dining room. A lovely stop for us on our NC500 road trip!
