Thurso, Caithness, KW14 7XY
Lovely accommodation
We stayed in the Mill House as a family of 4. Accommodation was fantastic. Beautiful setting, lovely house, perfect. Had a dinner included in the package. Not so great here! Booked having paid extra for 2 children in accommodation so they knew 2 kids would be eating. No kids menu but they did russle up sausages and chips which were ok. Next day realised we were charged 25 EACH for this. Shocking. Kids meals came out with our starters, unsure why. Queried the charge and got a drink knocked off but that in no way really satisfied me. I already had to pay extra to bring the children (not young kids so no cot/high chair etc needed), then charged ridiculous amount for quite substandard food. So lovely place to stay, but expect ridiculous charges if you bring kids
