This is a wonderful old building with so many beautiful decorations within it. Even though we didn't have an ensuite, our private bathroom was huge with good shower water pressure. There are two lounge rooms available and when we brought back some takeaway food from the local Indian restaurant, the owner suggested that we ate it in the dining room, something we wouldn't have ask to do. The breakfast was good and we really enjoyed our stay here.

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.

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.

What can we say but “Thank You” to the wonderful Victoria who greeted and treated us with warmth and consideration aplenty. Greenland House was so much more than we expected, with its charming architecture and exquisite furnishings & decor. Victoria was an exceptional host, and her sumptuous breakfasts supplied us with enough energy to keep us going throughout the days exploring the wonderful sights that this part of Scotland has to offer. We would both highly recommend Greenland House B & B to anyone looking for a true Scottish experience. Oh, and don’t forget to head to Dunnet Head to check out the puffins!!!
