The Hotel

Formerly a coaching inn, Muthu Royal Thurso welcomes travellers to the scenic burgh of Caithness set on the Scottish north coast. With sandy beaches stretching for miles, waves hugging the cliffs and a plethora of walking trails, the area makes for a perfect getaway destination.

When in the mood to venture out a bit, holidaymakers can take a short ferry ride to the Orkney island, while other nearby points of interest include John O’Groats, the Castle of Mey, or Old St Peter’s Church.

Traditionally decorated, the rooms come with Freeview TVs, and tea and coffee-making facilities. With a Wi-Fi connection throughout the hotel, guests can plan their trips’ itinerary and stay up to date.

A la carte and table d’hote menus, alongside a rich wine list, tempt the tastebuds at the Hyde Restaurant. Foodies after some less formal setting can also head to the Invictus Bar & Bistro.

Groupon’s Guide To The Scottish Highlands

Guests may go rambling around lakes and hillsides or trek the known routes in the Beinn Eighe nature reserve, near Kinlochewe. Walking aside, many fishing areas and golf courses are dotted around the area for more conventional activities.

Visitors may explore the great outdoors, taking to Loch Linnhe with a boat ride out to Seil Island for a nature-spotting trip. They may keep eyes peeled for herons and seals, with the odd porpoise known to sometimes make an appearance. Travellers may head north towards Fort William and find throat-warming ventures in the Ben Nevis Distillery at Lochybridge. Further afield, potentially snowy peaks can be sought on Glencoe Mountain, and visitors may even enjoy a whizz on the ski slopes.
