Due to this price we paid, my expectations were low. I could not believe, the lovely setting, the warm welcome, the big comfy rooms, the general cleanliness and the great food! The staff were all friendly, without being intrusive and Annie is a wee gem! I would definantly recommend this place!

Booked as a two night stay for two couples at an attractive rate. The location is excellent: quiet and secluded, but not far from anywhere (in a North of Scotland context). We were met by the manageress, who was friendly and welcoming, as were all the staff. Both rooms were absolutely fantastic, comfortable, and clean. We ate in both nights,... More

Sadly the night we stayed there was only 1 other couple at the hotel - this is a crying shame as this place should be full every night. Extremely friendly, helpful staff, a wonderful bedroom with views to die for (Cairnmhor I think?) with everything thought of. Cant remember the last time we stayed in a hotel that had sheets... More

This is a lovely Hotel situated near to Thurso. We stayed for 2 nights and the accommodation was excellent. Anne & her staff were very welcoming. We had dinner one evening which was very nice. We would recommend staying at Forss House.

I haven't stayed here but dined here one evening while away on business. I was made to feel welcome from the minute I walked in. The tables had good quality linen on them and the atmosphere in the dining room was lovely. The menu was varied and the staff were knowledgable about the dishes. The bread rolls were home made...

After three nights in the Torran suite (it was supposed to be a bedroom but the acreage was huge) you may very well feel just like one. The room was simply superb, the bed enormous and the food sumptuous. You may feel its expensive to stay here, you may think that £35 a head for dinner expensive, it isn't, it... More

We did not expect much at the price; but were surprised and delighted to be ushered into what we would have termed our En Suite Lodge, full of little luxuries - including an entrance lodge with provisions for our dogs so that they need not muddy our own rooms! Puzzled by the price, which was so low. Luxurious dining room... More
