rooms

Each of our 14 bedrooms has recently been restored to their former, traditional glory. Beautifully furnished, the hues are restful, the bedding soft and the light exquisite. These peaceful, delightful havens are the perfect place to retreat for a deep, restorative slumber after a day's exploring. 

Stay just one night or for awhile and you'll experience genuine Highland warmth and hospitality.

explore, beneath the big skies

You don’t just stumble across Caithness, it’s a place for life’s adventurers, one for the discoverers – the boundary pushers and the bucket listers. A turbulent past has left a legacy of legends; stay awhile and follow in the footsteps of our Pictish and Norse ancestors. Discover mind-blowing landscapes, soaring sea cliffs and deserted stretches of coastline. During the spring months, watch the colonies of puffins that flock to the clifftops.

Become an end-to-ender, and visit the northerly extremes of the UK mainland at Dunnet Head or John o’ Groats. Take a restful detour from the world-famous NC500 route, stopping with us for just a night or two, or simply a traditional Scottish supper.  

For pleasures of the simplest kind, meander along the river to the sea if you get the chance – it’s an unexpected delight.

the home of golf

Head to the Scotland, the home of golf, for an un-FORE-gettable stay. Forss House is close to many challenging greens. Take Reay Golf Club – the most northerly 18 hole links course on British Mainland – this breathtaking coastal course is just 15 minutes’ drive from the hotel. Then there’s Lybster. Golf has been running through the veins of Lybster for over 120 years. At just 2000 yards for its 9 holes, it’s one of the shortest golf courses in Scotland, but what it lacks in length, it more than makes up for in challenge – accurate play is a must.
