  • When is the best time to visit your property for the perfect beach holiday?

    In the summer months, June to August. Unfortunately the north of Scotland weather is varied all year so heat and sun cannot be guaranteed

An ocean view with breakfast. A hop, skip and a jump to the ocean edge. Watch the surf come up. Catch an otter playing at the side of the Pentland Firth. Glimpse the Northern Lights from your bedroom window. All this can be possible at The Marine.

Gluttons for punishment Richie and l took a derelict pub and converted it into a stylish Bed and Breakfast ( some like to call us 'Boutique') Opening in 2013 we have been welcoming guests from all over the world since. Sometimes l even try my beginners Spanish or school French and German but it doesn't always help ! And being a 'Geordie' Richie can help with the english translation :-D

Situated in 'Fisherbiggins', a conservation area in Thurso where the fisherfolk lived. We have the historical St Peters kirk round the corner but are only a 5 minute stroll into the town centre
