A Warm Scottish Highland Welcome at Forss House

"Forss House is a gem that I’m delighted to have discovered. There’s a lot to be said for going north – as far north as you can get…"

Fiona Duncan, Sunday Telegraph Hotel Guru.

Forss House is a delightful 1810 country house hotel set in 20 acres of woodland, below a waterfall, on a loop of the gently meandering River Forss.

Whatever you do under the big Caithness skies, you will have time, space and a lungful of fresh air to rejuvenate your batteries. Wherever you go you will meet Caithness folk and a place where people still make time for each other.

At Forss House you will be welcomed by Anne and Eilidh, aided and abetted by our small local team, who are always happy to offer advice on where to go and what to do.
