Forss House: Historic Elegance and Award-Winning Dining in the Far North
Forss House is a charming 1810 country house, nestled in 20 acres of woodland on the banks of the River Forss, near Thurso, the northernmost point of mainland Scotland. This hotel offers an authentic and tranquil escape, celebrating Scottish hospitality with a focus on high-quality gastronomy.
Traditional Rooms with Nature Views
The rooms are decorated in a traditional and comfortable style, respecting the historic character of the house. Many overlook the river valley or the surrounding gardens, offering a sense of peace and seclusion. The furnishings are classic and cozy, with an emphasis on creating a home away from home atmosphere.
Multi-Award-Winning Restaurant and Hyper-Local Ingredients
The restaurant is the beating heart of the hotel and is celebrated for its contemporary Scottish cuisine. Chefs leverage the remote location to access super-fresh fish and game, as well as herbs and vegetables grown in their own gardens. The culinary experience is a highlight of the stay, often recognized for its quality and creativity.
Fishing, Nature, and Northern Highlands Exploration
The property offers the opportunity for salmon fishing on the River Forss and peaceful walks in the woodlands. Its location is ideal for those wishing to explore the remote Northern Highlands (North Coast 500) and nearby attractions like the Orkney Islands and John o' Groats, offering a balance between relaxation and adventure.
Cozy Lounges with Fireplaces and Scottish Atmosphere
Guests can relax in the hotel's historic lounges, featuring open fireplaces and comfortable furnishings. These common spaces, often smelling of peat and whisky, invite reading and conversation, embodying the authentic atmosphere of a Scottish country residence.
