At the Hawthorns, we want you to feel at home, so we have a guest sitting room available with DVD player and Playstation 3. Choose a DVD from our collection and watch it either in your room (where DVD player is available) or in the sitting room.
We offer delicious breakfast options at the Hawthorns, you can either “build your own” from the selection of cooked items, or treat yourself with smoked salmon and scrambled eggs before you head out for a day’s exploring in Caithness.
Dog Friendly
No holiday is complete without our furry friends, and as we at the Hawthorns have 2 dogs of our own we want you to know you are welcome to bring your furry friend to stay here with us. A small charge is made for this, which we donate to a local dog rescue charity.
Cycle friendly/motorbike friendly
As well as 4 legged companions, we also welcome the two wheeled variety here at the Hawthorns. We have a secure shed for cycle storage and offer drying facilities in our laundry room. Motorbikers are also more than welcome, as former bikers ourselves, Graeme relishes the chance for a chat with a fellow rider!
Unfortunately we do not offer evening meals at Hawthorns, however we do have several restaurants within easy driving distance of us, each to be recommended (yes – even a couple of dog-friendly ones!)
Graeme and Eilean took over the Hawthorns in 2016, just as promotion of the NC500 was starting to build up. We both came from a bottling background (sadly not whisky!) and enjoyed visits to the area many many times, on two wheels and four.
