    the old faded country manor feel to this family home. the owners were so friendly & made you feel as if you were part of the family rather than a paying guest.

    Arriving at Thrumster House was like arriving at home when you have been away too long.

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
