The Ulbster Arms Hotel sits on the banks of the River Thurso, in the village of Halkirk. Our traditional Highland hotel exudes 19th-century charm, with traditional log fires and a host of charming rooms. While our lodges offer the same comfortable surroundings but with a more contemporary feel. Our hotel and lodges offer the perfect accommodation for exploring the wonders of Caithness and Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands.
Originally built in 1878 as a family home, our hotel in Halkirk has 13 ensuite rooms, several of which overlook the River Thurso or the impressive stone-built Halkirk church and clock tower. In our main hotel building, you can enjoy traditional comforts, such as high-quality furniture and complimentary toiletries. Plus, tea/coffee-making facilities, which include locally baked biscuits. Choose between a bath or a shower in your ensuite. Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms, and there is also free parking at the rear of the hotel.
Ulbster Lodge is located to the rear of the hotel, only a stone’s throw away from the main building. Of our three lodges, this is the most traditional. Think solid wood furniture, snug plaid throws and cottage-style windows. The three lodge bedrooms are decorated in keeping with the area in north Scotland, featuring thoughtful touches and attention to detail. The combination of the renovated stone-built barn and its modern extension offers a true haven in which to unwind.
