Situated in the heart of Thurso and just a short walk to the local beach and shops is the inviting Royal Hotel. Catch the ferry to Orkney or John O'Groats and explore. Retaining the warm and friendly atmosphere of its origins, a former coaching inn, the Royal is one of the best-equipped hotels on the North Coast of Scotland. Our rooms are spacious and comfortable and our restaurant will serve you with the excellent hearty fare for which Scotland is famous.
