Greenland House B&B
Elegantly appointed, well-kept B&B with spacious rooms and high ceilings pleasantly located in Castletown close to a good beach, Castle of Mey, John O'Groats and Thurso. A converted bank house dating back to the early 1900s, it has tasteful decor, an elegant sweeping staircase and is serenely managed by the lady owner who is very pleasant and provides a good breakfast. Good value, really enjoyed our stay.

Right in town and just far enough out of Thurso to avoid the noise. Gas station right down the road and beach the other way, good for a stay with friendly staff and quite accommodations.

Nice propert and staff, location has limits.
Property and single person staff both very good.
Location remote from choice of places to eat. One hotel and one Indian take-away only choice. Hotel full and unable to provide food. Indian take-away basic.
For choice --need to drive to Thurso, so next time will find accommodation in Thurso.
