    Owners were very friendly and porridge was delicious! This was quite a unique place to stay and we loved it.

    A rather unique stay, don't expect modern luxury but if you want to stay in a genuine charming, architecturally interesting old house with old furniture in front of a fire with two gorgeous dogs this is for you. Catherine was extremely helpful,...

Catherine and Islay Macleod
Thrumster House is a Victorian Laird's house, it has been our home for 3 generations. We welcome guests to our pet friendly B+B through out the year
We love the outdoor country life, walking the dogs, playing piano and gardening.
The area we live has a wealth of wildlife, beautiful coastal scenery and we are in the centre of an ancient landscape comprised of many archaeological sites stretching back to the mesolithic era. We have a broch in the grounds and are mile from the Yarrows Archaeological Trail
