    Not a complaint in the world 🌎

    Absolutely stunning !!😍 Had a 3 storey cottage in the Granary looking over the falls and hearing the rushing water all night gave us the best sleep ever! 🥰 Dinner was delicious and the pub and dining room were very old world Scottish which I love and we walked the grounds after dinner in the moonlight and it was magical ! A true delight as is all of Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥂

    We had massive problems with the water (toilet, sink, shower). Very sadly we have been told at the check-out that the owner will call us, which did not happen

    The Forss House has a beautiful location and lots of atmosphere. It‘s a nice place to stay if you want to feel the good old times

    The food was disappointing compared with my previous hotel North Kessock. Very nice but rather pricey for what you get

    Wonderful location, beautiful room, excellent staff.

    A smart country hotel in a great location close to a waterfall and with lovely walks nearby (saw deer roaming nearby). On North Coast 500 route. Sat in relaxed lounge and taken through to dining room when meal ready (hotel offers a 3 course dinner or extensive tasting menu). Food was of excellent quality and well presented. Well appointed rooms.

    This is not a Travelodge type accomodation , this is quality and it's the price you pay. Nothing I didn't like.

    It was nice to have a historic building keeping some of its original features, the staff were excellent and helpful. The room was large with a very nice bathroom. The food (dinner) was very tasty served quickly and hot, breakfast was great too.

    Driving up to the hotel we knew we were in for a wonderful stay driving through the trees to an idyllic setting. Our room looked out on the gardens and the river to the right and from the roll top copper bath ( though bath is not the right word as it was HUGE)😃you looked out on the that very view…gardens,woods and river…bliss. Staff were so so friendly and attentive in every way. Food was beautiful dinner and breakfast. Just a wonderful experience for us both on our 30th wedding anniversary a stay we will always remember with a smile.

    Nothing-although our stay (4 nights) was a bit long given the dearth of things to do in a cold and very snowy winter in Thurso, but that has nothing to do with the quality of the accommodation.

    Comfortable beds, lovely rooms and wonderful staff. Dinner was fabulous-from the bar and appetiser through to petit fours, it was a 5 star experience. The host who greeted us each evening was very professional, amiable and attentive.

    So very comfortable, I had a great couple of nights sleep here, I went so far as to check the pillow labels as I now HAVE to have them for home. The grounds were amazing, we walked to the waterfall and down to the beach, so lovely. The staff were really nice and friendly and we chatted about life and whiskey. Dinner was superb too.

    Gorgeous Scottish House Hotel in stunning location, beautiful river and walk to beach from Hotel. Traditional yet luxurious with open fire, lounge drinks before dinner and exceptional food. We are still talking about the sea trout! Beautiful bathroom, with vast tub and rainforest shower. Plus had all amenities required and lovely friendly staff. Thank you for a great stay.

    Our room was spacious and comfortable, but situated in a characterless 1970 annex. Staff willing but poorly trained. Set price for dinner very expensive.

    Comfortable bed. Plenty of heating and hot water. Good bathroom towels, linen. Friendly staff. One of very few hotels in area. Was once handsome building
