The Original Country House Hotel in the Hidden Highlands
Welcome to your home from home under the Caithness skies. Hidden amidst 20 acres of wonderful woodlands, below a waterfall, on a loop of the gently meandering River Forss, our homely accommodation and tranquil estate will promise to leave you feeling rejuvenated before you continue on the NC500 route, or before you catch the ferry to explore Orkney.
Stay in the main house for traditional country house interiors, cosy up by the fire or retreat to our house bar. Our cottages on the water’s edge offer a rustic farmhouse stay for couples or groups. Stay just one night – or for a while – and you’ll experience genuine Highland warmth and hospitality. Forss House is the perfect location for dog-friendly breaks. With miles of rugged coastline, inland forest walks and more, you won’t be short of places to explore with your four-legged friend.
Our restaurant has a reputation as one of the finest in the North and is the only AA Two Rosette establishment in Caithness. From melt-in-the-mouth canapés to our one-of-a-kind tasting menus, all our dishes are designed to showcase the very finest ingredients from the Thurso area. Using local produce from neighbouring estates and the nearby sea, we present exquisite dishes to suit every palate.
