Hotel location description Castletown Hotel
The hotel, located in the fishing village of Castletown, is 6 km from Thurso on the A836. It enjoys a central setting in Caithness and thus allows the visitor to explore and enjoy the most northerly mainland county: the wildlife, the coastal walks, trips over on the ferry to Orkney for a day's sightseeing, surfing in one of the best bays in the UK, or the more traditional attractions of the Castle Of Mey. And the beautiful sandy beach of Dunnet Bay is a stone's throw away from the hotel.
Payment methods description
American Express, MasterCard and VISA are accepted at this hotel.
