I really like staying at The Pentland, ok it’s a bit old and draughty, it could probably do with a bit of tlc but it’s full of character and the staff are top class, super convenient for work too. If I’m staying in Thurso and they’ve got room then I’m staying there :-)

Staff were excellent and very friendly. Dinner and breakfast was good. Room was large but needed some repair. There must of been a leak in the bathroom before as the floor sweaked very badly and needed repair. Shower height adjuster was broken so was too low. Bathroom could of been cleaner.

Do not stay here
I requested a low floor since my wife uses a cane, but was put on 3rd floor. The bathroom had black mold in the tub/shower. There was no hot water in shower or in sink. The 3 of us could only do "sponge" baths. The food at breakfast was cold including the beans and eggs. Do not recommend staying here.

Must try harder
Staff are really very nice but the hotel is very sad and in poor shape, everything reeks of cheap, food is poor and restaurant is not at all managed. Room is tired and in need of a makeover, bathroom absolutely shocking and worse shower in the world. Breakfast is usually the high point for me but not here, everything from the cheapest supplier nothing was cooked correctly or had been kept warm for hours. Sorry Pentland an 80,s hotel is not for me.
