Park Hotel - Thurso, United Kingdom 

myself and seven friends stayed for one night as part of a scottish tour, we were all very impressed with both the facilities in the hotel as well as the courtesy of the staff, nothing was too much trouble for them. overall ,an ideal stopover hotel with excellent food and fscilities.

I stayed at the Park Hotel for one night whilst up in the area on business. Big mistake. The (cold, damp) room was very shabby: peeling wallpaper, a saggy mattress that had seen better days, and a pretty tired and dismal looking bathroom, too. The staff were friendly enough, helpful with local information. However, the thing which let down the Park in a BIG way was the cooked breakfast: utterly dreadful. Sausages and peely-wally rashers of bacon grossly undercooked, and swimming in pools of fat on the plate. Plus terrible toast: old dry, wafer thin bread (possibly reheated from the previous day?) It was so awful that I simply pushed the plate away and opted instead for the small box of cereal instead. This is one of very few instances where I have made a point of writing to the manager afterwards to complain. No reply was forthcoming. Not to be recommended. A shame really, as the far NE is a lovely undiscovered spot, but tourists and other guests really do deserve far better than this. I won’t be returning.
