Braeside Retreats Villa - Thurso

Fabulous location, fine views, perfect pod, complete privacy, well-equipped kitchen.

There was nothing I didn't like.

We had a fantastic stay at Braeside Retreats! The value for money was unbeatable and the room was everything we could ask for. The location was fine, with amazing views and a peaceful atmosphere.

The hotel breakfast could have been improved with a wider variety of options.

We were a bit concerned when we couldn't open the little box, but luckily our friendly neighbors came to the rescue and helped us with the key. The cabin itself was very clean and well equipped, providing everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The view from the cabin was fine, overlooking the beautiful countryside and offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. We also enjoyed the convenience of having parking right beside the cabin.

Our stay at Braeside Retreats was absolutely incredible. The pod was beautifully designed with stunning views from the hillside location. We loved the cozy yet spacious feel, and the attention to detail was impressive, from the Wi-Fi hub and USB charging ports to the slowly-closing toilet seat and fans in the bathroom and kitchen. The heated towel rail was a luxurious touch, and we appreciated the ample bathroom counter space. The little touches, like the flower pot on the front porch and the subtle animal themed decorations, added to the overall charm of the pod. We truly didn't want to leave! we had a fantastic stay in this lovely pod. It had everything we needed and was incredibly comfortable. The location was perfect for us, offering both peace and quiet while still being close to town for supplies. The hot tub was the icing on the cake, providing the perfect place to relax and enjoy the stunning views. We also appreciated the proximity to the NC500 and the abundance of secluded beaches for our dog to explore. The limited storage for personal belongings and food was a minor inconvenience, but it didn't deter from our overall enjoyment. The wifi was a bit hit or miss, but we were prepared for this and had data available on our devices. All in all, we had a wonderful time at Braeside Retreats and would highly recommend it to others.

Fabulous location with outstanding pod. All mod cons, wonderful shower. Warm pod, no need for heating. Brilliant hot tub, first time experience. Delicious breakfast pack, added potato scone and haggis. Will return. Great for exploring east coast. Informative welcome guide. Amazing views, spotless place. Lovely touches, even for our dog. Safe area for her to wander. Best accommodation on our Scotland trip. Excellent value, huge hot tub!

We had a wonderful stay at Braeside Retreats Villa. the view from the accommodation was stunning, with farmland stretching out before us and beautiful glimpses of the sea. the breakfast pack provided was a tasty bonus and set us up perfectly for a morning walk on Dunnet Bay. The pod itself was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Cons: All was good! 👍.

The spacious pod with fantastic hot tub had everything we needed. Quiet surroundings with fine views over Orkney. Nice touch with breakfast pack and dog bundle. Superior setting at a fraction of the cost.

Couldn't fault.

Stunning view of the northern coastline and sea. Spacious pods with full facilities, including oven and fridge. Private and well-spaced out. Comfy beds and excellent hot tub. Tasty breakfast pack and squeaky clean accommodation.

The view, farmland, sea, breakfast pack, Dunnet Bay walk.

Couldn't find any faults at all.

The pod exceeded our expectations with its spaciousness and cleanliness. The hot tub and outside tables were a great addition, and the views were incredible. Convenient parking right next to the pod.

Felt like family, no complaints whatsoever.

Lovely weekend at Braeside Retreats in Thurso! Fantastic location overlooking fields and the Orkneys. The Pod was generous in size, well-appointed, and super clean. The outdoor hot tub with a view was a huge bonus. The hosts were friendly and welcoming, providing dog-friendly amenities. The play park kept the kids entertained. The double bed was very comfortable. Highly recommended for a relaxing and enjoyable stay!

100% Recommend this hotel.

The views from the accommodation were absolutely stunning, with picturesque scenery and a lovely view of the nearby islands. the location was also ideal, with close proximity to local attractions and amenities. Plus, the owner was friendly and accommodating, which made the stay even more enjoyable.

One small issue was the slow Wi-Fi, but honestly, who needs internet when you're surrounded by such magnificent beauty? Another minor downside was the lack of a shelf and small light on the wall side of the bed, which would have been helpful.

The Pod was spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The highlight was definitely the hot tub, a fantastic way to unwind at night. The no noise around and fine views over to Orkney were the icing on the cake. Plus, there were great restaurants just a short drive away.

Breakfast delights could be improved with the addition of tea towels for drying dishes and maybe some robes or extra towels for the hot tub. there could be more storage options for personal belongings and food.

Spacious pods with privacy

Lovely views and location. High-quality and clean accommodation. Convenient amenities like a hot tub

Can't think of anything.

I recently stayed at Braeside Retreats for a peaceful break in my highland home town. The attention to detail, facilities, and location were outstanding. The hot tub was always hot enough, and the comprehensive guide provided by the owners was incredibly helpful. The views of the bays and Orkney were stunning, and the comfortable bed and sofa made for a comfortable stay. The quiet roads and farm tracks were perfect for evening walks, and the lack of midges made it an ideal time to visit. it was a perfect getaway.

Would recommend this hotel.
