Easy to get to by public transport helpful staff. Considering the weather(Feb,cold windy) the whole hotel did not feel warm. My ensuite haď bath with over shower, water was hot but the bath had around rusty mark near the taps, the flooring was buckled and had three steps from the bedroom to bathroom bed was comfortable but the pillows were dreadful and certainly not hotel quality. Nice carpets throughout but the decor everywhere was tired and in need of modernising. As it was only three stars I was not expecting luxury but I felt it has the potential to look and be much better.

No complaints apart from rude breakfast service

No complaints about the room or check in. Hotel very quiet. Only let down by the breakfast service by a chef who seemed annoyed by having to serve and was almost comically rude

The Barman Duncan was quite the personality but this was the only good thing really. The breakfast was particularly bad with microwaved bacon, inedible mushrooms and hash browns and a staff member who was so unhappy I didn’t know where to look

I really like staying at The Pentland, ok it’s a bit old and draughty, it could probably do with a bit of tlc but it’s full of character and the staff are top class, super convenient for work too. If I’m staying in Thurso and they’ve got room then I’m staying there :-)

Staff were excellent and very friendly. Dinner and breakfast was good. Room was large but needed some repair. There must of been a leak in the bathroom before as the floor sweaked very badly and needed repair. Shower height adjuster was broken so was too low. Bathroom could of been cleaner.

Located on NC500, so easy to find. Full breakfast was very good. Rooms were clean, but shower was interesting. Water just keep getting hotter and hotter. No elevator so hope you get a room on the first level.
