Very happy with the accommodation and would stay there again
Perfect location between two main towns and within easy striking distance of many areas of interest. Friendly and welcoming host. Facilities mat all our requirements.
Only downside was the exit from property onto main road. Just be aware that there is the possibility of fast vehicles approaching from both sides and take your time on exit.

Best ever house and location - you won't be disappointed!
Everything was fabulous in the house and loved the history if it. So much space for me and my children. The 3 double bedrooms are huge, the kitchen is spacious with all commodities. The sun room was exceptional and very warm as you would expect with the sun is out. Kids loved the neighbouring cows and the large garden. I would stay here again in a minute if ever up this way. Short car journeys to Dunnet Head, Wick, Joan O Groats, Duncansby Stacks. we were also very lucky with th weather but would happily have stayed in the cosy house if had been raining more. Host checked in with us and was on hand if needed anything which we didn't.
Loved everything and would highly recommend.

Fantastic hosts and lovely property.
First of all Jenny is lovely and made us feel so welcome.
Property was lovely and much bigger than we expected. Well equipped kitchen and laundry room with everything you could need, really handy to have a freezer. Rooms were spacious and beds were comfortable. Plenty of room for 6 adults and a toddler. The weather was good during our visit so most of our time was spent in the garden or conservatory. Good location to use as a base for visiting Dunnet Head, John O Groats etc. Under 10 minutes by car to nearest village (Castletown) with a lovely butchers, well stocked Spar shop, hotel which serves food, chip shop and Chinese takeaway. You’ll also find access to the beach here (our grandson loved it).
Throughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.

Enough to make you want to stay 🙂🙂
This is a great central location to stay in Caithness. You're roughly halfway between the two main towns, Wick and Thurso. We were met there by the owner Jenny. She showed us round the house , telling us about the history of it and how she ended up owning the place. It's got a well equipped large kitchen , decent sized living room And good sized bedrooms. There's also a conservatory to the side of the house that looks out to the large garden. There was just the three of us there but plenty of room for a larger family with two bathrooms. One upstairs and one down stairs . Good off road parking..all in all ,,, a place I would definitely return to 👍👍👍👍,
To us,,,there's really not a lot to dislike about this house,, other than the lack of footpaths along the main road, which can be busy at times should you wish to go for a walk round the local area. Other than that,, you will not be disappointed.

A beautiful house with lots of space.
Beautiful farmhouse with an enclosed garden, parking and so much space inside. Well equipped kitchen. Spacious laundry room which is perfect for when the weather is a little damp. Downstairs and upstairs bathrooms. Everywhere was so clean and thoughtfully provisioned. We had eggs and milk in the fridge as we arrived.
Only one thing: Wifi.
Although we spent all week trying to get online at the property, it was impossible.

Quiet and Relaxing place
The house was lovely and plenty of space. The large garden was very nice. The patio was great. It was a very comfortable and pleasant stay. Jenny was lovely and was there when we needed. She was kind to have made scones for us and they were delicious!
The internet and the Tv could do with an upgrade. Other than that everything else was fantastic.
Comfortable accommodation and a great base to explore the area. We did a a couple of boat trips and a day trip to Orkney from John o' Groats which were great.

Lovely house with plenty of space and a wonderful conservatory which was lovely to sit in and enjoy the sun. Farmland all around but it has its own garden space. House had everything we needed! Hosts even left us some huge fresh eggs and potatoes that baked up beautifully. Fireplace was left with timber ready to go. Take the time to have a drink in the public bar of the Castletown Hotel .. very friendly locals happy to tell you all about the area.
Nothing. We enjoyed it all.

Very good
Very comfortable, homely rather than sterile. Plenty of room. Host was very helpful and always available if any minor problems.
All pretty good. As far as I could see the wifi was not connected to a broadband provider but I was happy to be offline for a day or two.

A wonderful happy holiday home
We had a lovely stay at Lower Thura House. It is a spacious, comfortable home - perfect for our family of 5. Well located for John O’Groats and a trip to The Orkneys. We also loved Dunnet Bay. Jenny is delightful and super helpful. We had everything we needed for a very happy holiday. Thank you.

Lovely holiday
The accomodation was excellent , well equipped and very clean. The owners are really friendly and equip you with tea,coffee, sugar biscuits and eggs to get you started.
The garden was nicely kept and nice to sit out in the sun.
Beds are so comfortable and lots of storage.
There was nothing to dislike here, unless you count the time flying by.

Would 100% recommend.
The location is great for getting to John o’ Groats, Thurso and also if visiting Orkney as we did for a day trip. A car is a must have to get around or maybe even bringing a bicycle. I loved that Jenny had left us a welcome folder that included information on the history of the house, also all the little things you may need on your stay like salt, tea, coffee, eggs, cooking oil, shower gel and much more were included which I thought was brilliant and thoughtful. There is a big garden and conservatory to relax in too. The WiFi worked great once I placed beside the living room window. The house is beautiful, clean and cosy and the host Jenny is lovely and helpful. Would 100% recommend and 100% would stay again. My 9 year old daughter loved it very much also. So if you are thinking of booking do it you won’t be disappointed. There is also a wood burner in the living room it would be cosy at night but unfortunately we never used it as weather was beautiful and hot for our stay.
There was not one thing I didn’t like. It was perfect.

Great house with lots of space
As long as you have a car it is easy to explore the area. We went to Thurso, John O Groats, Wick, Lybster and the Orkneys.
There is a 60 mph road close to the house. Some noise but the road is not busy.

We'd 100% stay here again. Lots to do in the area.
Beautiful house and garden. The bedrooms are big with plenty of wardrobe space and the beds super comfy. The kitchen is well equiped and we found the drying room also very handy, even though it didn't rain uring our stay, just as a place to dump the walking boots. The hosts are very welcoming and friendly people too.

Leider enttäuschend
Das Haus ist gut ausgestattet mit allem, was man als Familie braucht. Die Zimmer sind großzügig. Die Möglichkeit sich im Garten aufzuhalten ist sehr schön. Das Haus hat einen guten Ausgangspunkt um in jede Richtung den Norden zu erkunden. Das Internet ist gut. Jenny ist sehr zuvorkommend, gut zu erreichen und hilfsbereit.
Am meisten ärgert mich, dass das Bewertungsergebnis nicht stimmt, da von derselben Person (Woz aus GB) am 14.02. und 04.03. 5x eine 10-Punkte-Bewertung ohne Kommentar vergeben wurde, was das Gesamtergebnis extrem verfälscht und in die Irre führt. Leider habe ich das erst im Nachhinein entdeckt, da ich mich gefragt habe wie das hohe Bewertungsergebnis zu Stande kommt. Die Auffahrt zum Grundstück ist nicht sehr einladend und ist unaufgeräumt, da das Haus direkt an einem Kuhstall liegt und somit für die Landwirtschaft genutzt wird. Das fehlt leider in der Beschreibung. Die Unterkunft ist in die Jahre gekommen. Beispielsweise funktioniert ein Schloss zum Schlafzimmer kaum, da der Knauf locker ist und sich die Tür somit nur sehr schwer öffnen und schließen lässt. Wir haben das Zimmer nicht genutzt. An Töpfen fehlen die Knaufe als Hitzeschutz. Der Lärm des Verkehrs ist einfach zu laut und war für uns sehr störend. Mit offenem Fenster zu schlafen ist eigentlich unmöglich - im Sommer, auch in Schottland, aber gerade in der oberen Etage nötig. Wir haben uns nach 9 Tagen nicht daran gewöhnt. Der Wintergarten ist ein schöner Platz zum beisammen sitzen, nur kann man bei Sonne wegen extremer Wärme dort nicht sitzen. Es gab sehr viele Kellerasseln und Wespen und entsprechende Fallen im Haus verteilt. Der schöne Charme des vermutlich einstig schönen Steinhauses ist durch eine nicht sehr geschickte Renovierung kaum erhalten. Das Bad im EG ist sehr düster, kalt und der Heizkörper dort wurde nicht warm. Die Wanne wohl sehr alt und historisch, lädt aber nicht zum darin baden ein.
