United KingdomBeautiful home from the 1700’s. Owners were lovely and had two adorable dogs. My favorite was the fireplace in the sitting room. Breakfast was delicious. I highly recommend. Would book again.
United States of AmericaEngaging with the hosts about the history of the family and the estate, Chatting with them about Thrumster and the place where my wife's grandmother lived 100 years ago. Sitting by the fire. The elegant dining room and china/silver service. Having an entire pot of coffee for multiple cups of coffee. Loved the dogs. We felt as much like family as guests. Catherine and her charming mother were a treat to be with and were excellent cooks.
United States of AmericaA charming, historic family home full of antique furniture, photos and paintings. A cosy, crackling log fire welcomed us along with the owner who met us at the door and showed us to our rooms. Delicious homemade evening meal and breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble and the owner joined us for pre dinner drinks and nibbles and chatted to us about the archeological dig in the grounds and the history of her home including when the Queen Mother visited. A real gem of a B and B.

United KingdomLoved the quirkiness and reminder of times past of this place. Even though it is in need of repainting etc we loved it here .Sitting and chatting in front of the open fire in the evening was lovely. Electric blankets in the beds were a bonus especially as it was chilly. Breakfast was delicious and excellent. Owners were very friendly.
United Kingdomexcellent breakfast served promptly, and the family were extremely friendly and welcoming. The Lodge was quiet but was on our route down a long drive. The house was intriguing and very interesting too.

4 reasons to choose Thrumster House
Host Info
Thrumster House was built in about 1790, by Capt. David Brodie, tacksman (large leaseholder) to Sir John Sinclair. It stands on the site of a previous building, of unknown structure, but probably a small fortified house. It was built on a fairly simple plan, with two back-to-back blocks, and a small wing to each side. The rest of the house consists of later, mid-Victorian additions. There are sunken cellars to the rear of the house (which used to be the front!), from one room of which, a small underground passage passes under the main hall - unfortunately not an interesting early feature, but made by builders when the house was first wired for electricity in the 1930s.
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
