The Pentland was recommended by friends and I must say what a delightful stay it was. We had 2 nights in a lovely double room. The room was exceptionally clean, yes the decor is slightly dated but the hotel has a lovely friendly atmosphere and the staff couldn't do more to help. Maureen the breakfast waitress was simply a delight... More

The Pentland hotel is a fabulous looking building - from the outside! Inside it's quite clear the glory days have past. We stayed in the late May to celebrate my husbands birthday. I don't think we have ever paid so much for a hotel room - not even in a boutique slick hotel in New York (The Standard) or the... More

We came here in July, as I was born in Thurso and was making another nostalgic trip . Having stayed here before I expected the same high standard. The hotel has so much character and in an excellent position, but I was very disappointed in the room. In great need of a face lift. One chair actually fell back as... More

I stayed here with colleagues this month and whilst I have no major compaints there were a few niggles. Booking in was easy and the staff were very friendly. My room (Number 2) was a bit on the small side even as a single and could have done with redecoration. The meal at night was fine and pretty good value.... More

We stayed here one night in Oct.and found it quaint and charming. The street was a little noisy but interesting! The room was clean with a modern bathroom and breakfast was awesome. No elevator which was hard for some guests.

We returned to Thurso and as we had stayed here before there was no question of going anywhere else. Room fine, but looked a bit tired, A chair needed repair. I nearly went flying when I sat on it, so very wobbly. The breakfasts were very good, and the staff could' nt have been more helpful, which I could not... More

Stayed here for a number of days on business. It is close to the railway Station and the Town Centre. Quite old-fashioned but clean. Room was of a good size and the bed was very comfy - however right next to a corridor door which was quite noisy every time it closed. Smallest TV in the world up on a... More
