Stayed here for one night on a business trip in Jan 2012, I was moved to the Commercial hotel 500 yards up the road, the smell of paint was overwelming, the noise from the plumbing work was unbelievable and no wifi connections, i didnt expect any of the above. The food in the main hotel was acceptable pub grub and... More

have stayed at this hotel (and a few others!!) over the last 4 years and the Ulbster Arms continues to be the best in the far North of Scotland - by a long way. Great food, staff service, peace and quiet, free wi-fi, spacious rooms, etc, makes it a must for any business traveller. More

In December 2009 we were visiting relatives in Wick and decided, on the basis of an excellent previous visit, to stay at the Ulbster Arms. The welcome was wonderful, especially as we had struggled with heavy snow blocking all the access routes to get there. The hotel was like a fairytale building - snow on all the surrounding streets and... More

The bedrooms have been refurbished quite recently. It is only a 10 minute drive into the centre of Thurso from the hotel. The back bar... More

We spent a week travelling round the north Highlands in March 2009. We didn't book stays in advance, and given the time of year, we were trying to stick to nice hotels (aiming for £80-100 per room per night) rather than B&Bs but when we got to Thurso, there was nowhere decent available. Saw an ad in a local mag... More

Stayed for 3 days on business. Rooms have been nicely refurbished, food was first class and the wine list was also very good. Even though it is a bit out of the way - compared to Thurso - I would highly recommend More
