Forss House

Excellent. Staff were friendly and accommodating

I don’t think we got to spend enough time exploring the grounds but the hotel itself is well appointed for a property of its age. The bar area is relaxing with a number of gins and whiskeys on offer. The food was amazing, they have a brilliant chef!

We didn’t know at the time of booking that we weren’t staying in the main hotel but had been offered a room in the ‘Millers Cottage’. Although very cute the walk to the main hotel wasn’t well lit so take a torch! Also, the room above us was occupied and although they weren’t throwing a party you could hear every footstep and conversation. Not the greatest night sleep!

The location was fantastic… the food excellent… friendly staff.. great overall

There was an issue with no hot water but I’m sure it was just a glitch not a permanent problem

Staff were very nice and helpful. Nice traditional ambiance to the old house. The garden areas and walkways to river and beach. The evening meal and breakfast were both excellent.

Only evening meal options were a 7 course taster menu and a 3 course menu. As Forss House is remote and you would have to drive to Thurso for any other dining option it would have been nice just to have some main course only options.

Beaucoup de corbeaux sur le site

Forss House was a great stop off as we travelled the NC500. The staff were all lovely and accommodating. We enjoyed having a drink in the bar and looking out over the grounds. We also chose to have dinner which was really nice.

We felt our room needed a little bit of a freshen up. There were quite a few scuffs and paint chips and just didn't give it the feel we expected from the photos seen online. We also had a broken shower, however this didn't impact our stay.
