A charming country house

Pros: We had a great stay at Thrumster House as part of our NC500 trip. Catherine was a wonderful host and so welcoming, and the house itself is beautiful and full of traditional country charm. Breakfast in the morning was a particular highlight, and we enjoyed the company of the friendly dogs. Overall, it was a memorable and unique place to stay and we’d definitely recommend it.

Cons: The WiFi seemed a little temperamental: this wasn’t a huge issue for us, but may be more of a challenge for those who need to be connected.

Pros: Thrumster House is an incredible, old laird's house, and you truly feel like royalty stepping into the spacious foyer and gallery. The rooms were decorated with really nice touches and were filled with personal memorabilia of the host family. Everything was very clean and charmingly done, breakfast was incredibly delicious and the host very kind and helpful. Thrumster House is the perfect place for anyone who ever visited a National Trust building and thought \

Pros: Very hospitable. It felt as though we were friends of the family rather than customers. A very relaxed atmosphere. The house is quite unique.

Cons: The road leading to the house from the main road was in a poor state.

A unique and memorable experience.

Pros: Our stay at Thrumster house was an excellent and unique experience. The house is very large and full of charm and character. Evening meal and breakfast were most enjoyable. After breakfast the host took the time to show us the excavated broch in the grounds and we also walked to the old Thrumster railway line and looked inside the old station ticket office. This was a very welcome and unexpected addition to our stay.

Comfortable like your favourite armchair

Pros: Friendly welcome, which is very important. Somewhere secure to store our bikes overnight. Good advice re the local pub for dining. Comfortable rooms and great, quiet location. The house and furnishings are from an older era, that wouldn't be out of place in a period drama and that just added to the overall charm of the place. Breakfast was lovely, offered in a beautiful old dining room. Anyone looking for modern facilities may be disappointed but there was WiFi and TV in the rooms. We all really enjoyed our one night there.

Well worth staying here

Pros: A lovely setting and an intriguing house with some wonderful features, not least the expansive entrance hall. The bedroom was spacious, clean and comfortable. The hosts were helpful and charming. The cooked breakfast was all that could be desired

Pros: Such a lovely warm welcome! Tray of tea and biscuits by the fire. Looking at archeological artifacts. Breakfast was fantastic.

Cons: There wasn't anything we didn't like.

Lovely welcoming stay

Pros: The hosts, Catherine, and mum Isla were fantastic. Friendly and knowledgeable of the area. This was a different kind of stay, from the normal faceless hotel. If you want a homely, welcoming, wholesome stay, this is for you. We loved their dogs, and even sat by the fire in the evening and sampled some local whiskey. Our double room was clean, great hot shower and a lovely refreshment tray set up for our arrival. Breakfast was amazing, with lots of choice, fresh items, a plentiful cooked option, and all served in the beautiful dining room. A quick walk will take you to the old Smiddy where a hearty pub meal is available. Thank you both.
