Having decided to visit the Highlands for the first time we decided that February would be ideal and despite our fears about the weather we are glad we did as it was fantastic. Very little traffic and wonderful sights but more of that in another review. We went for 6 days, 5 nights and stayed in 4 different establishments, 2... more

We have just returned from a fantastic three nights at Forss. Anne in particular was extremely helpful from my intial contact . All the staff were very friendly and keen to ensure our stay was enjoyable. My husband went deer-stalking with a local gamekeeper, arranged by Anne, and had a truly fantastic experience. The accomodation was superb , spacious, well... more

Forss House Hotel - Forss by Thurso, Caithness, North Scotland We spent one night at this hotel on 24th sept 2007 as part of our 4-night stay in Scotland. We arrived late after a delay at the airport (well after 8.30) - it was dark - and drove straight past the massive hotel signs, which you can’t miss during the... more

This is the fourth of six reviews covering our 2007 tour of Scotland. Our tour takes us from our home in Hampshire up the West coast of Scotland and over to Orkney back over to Scotland and down the East coast to Aberdeen then home via York. The Forss Country House at Thurso was the 4th hotel of our marathon... more

Stayed for one night en route to Orkney. On previous trips had always stayed overnight at the Portland Arms in Lybster, which used to be very good. But am glad that we've now discovered Forss House. One of the best rooms I've ever stayed in. I endorse all the praise that has been included in previous reviews. This is quality,... more

Set in lovely gardens, with maybe the only trees on this very barren area near Thurso, this hotel offer a very comfortable stop over if you need access to the Orkney Ferry leaving from Scrabster. Large, well appointed rooms and friendly, if sometimes a bit quirky service. One problem that they need to fix, is the heavy doors leading into... more

Stayed at this lovely hotel recently and really enjoyed it. We stayed in one of the four rooms upstairs in the original house. very large, grand rooms newly decorated and upgraded, well worth the slightly higher price. Very warm welcome, good bar area for pre-dinner drinks. Lovely intimate dining room serving fantastic food. Nice walks in the garden with steps... more

My wife and I have stayed at Forss Country House Hotel twice a year for the past number of years. We live in Northern Ireland but have family in Caithness and use Forss House when visiting them. The base line was very good, as far back as the late 1990s. However, the hotel has, in recent years, enjoyed some well... more

The hotel is perfect for a relaxing escape. We received a very warm welcome and were well looked after by attentive staff throughout our stay. The food was excellent - in particular an extremely good pigeon starter and very tender fillet from local beef. The newly decorated bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. Unusually large bath which even a 6ft 4in... more
