Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Thurso

Once again. Our second visit to The Noddle. Top review for this wonderful property. Lots of quirky lovely additions to the decor. The hosts fabulous artwork on the walls throughout were a delight. All we needed was at hand, and plenty of room for all 6 of us on our mahjong game tour. Clear instructions for all the carefully maintained heating units and other electrical appliances and all wall switches/sockets clearly labelled. Lovely maintained house and garden-including the 'secret garden'. A great decking with comfy chairs to sit in the sunshine and listen to nature... and count the bunnies! What more can I say.? Thank you Tony and Penny for letting us stay in this wonderful place.

Perfect Property in an ideal location. Host was very accommodating and a pleasure to deal with No hesitation in recommending or re-booking.

This was a lovely house and a good base for exploring Caithness. The house was well equipped, the beds were very comfortable and the showers were hot. The house was lovely and warm to combat the chilly weather outside! Our hosts were friendly and check in / check out was simple. There was plenty of room for the 10 people in our party. Our children particularly enjoyed the sand dunes at Dunnet Bay and rock pooling at Ham Harbour - even in the rain. There was a nice walk from nearby Lybster Harbour along the cliff tops.

Fantastic place we booked while up in the area, will book again, thankyou!

The Old Kirk was quite stunning - as soon as we unlocked and opened the door, we could see the charm and wonder of the whole place. It was superbly furnished and quite delightful, with so many interesting things dotted around... ...a real home from home and on quite a grand scale. Hoy is a charmingly remote and sometimes desolate place, but the Old Kirk was always a delight to come back to - so warm and cosy. We were particularly lucky that there was a folk music concert (Saltfishforty) on the Friday we were there, right next door in the Gable End Theatre - and we had two meals at Emily's, just up the road. A wonderful 4 days - Thanks, Inga.

There aren’t enough words in English or Gaelic to describe how much myself and my friend/support worker LOVED .. staying @Brough Farm @ South Ronaldsay … i Love rural isolation , waterways, wild walks , seabirds and cows, stone walls and buildings ✅✅✅✅✅✅, not necessarily in that order … the capacity to self cater , with resources easily sourced from Stromness and Kirkwall , including fresh sourced fish , lamb , beef etc … have a bath after a big days walking and sleep in comfy beds , obviously adds to the bliss .. and then the cherry on the cake of our 10 night stay … was of course our timing was perfect for the Orkney Folk festival … which was sublime … Two Australians … left very sad .. from ‘our’ Orkney Island home … Mel and Graham were the bestest hosts .. and I’m deeply grateful for all of Grahams patience with sharing his farming knowledge about the darling cows and calf’s .

What a wonderful find not only was it comfortable and warm it was also easy to find, the host was very responsive we are travelling for two months and this was one of the better Airbnb‘s we have stayed in, thank you very much for hosting us.

The Old Coast Guard station is a fantastic place to stay and as a base for the NC500. The house is recently renovated to a high standard, is very clean/fresh and has the most beautiful views of the bay and harbour. We traveled with our pup as it is very dog friendly with an enclosed garden and lots of places and beaches to walk nearby. Helmsdale is a nice village with local shops, pub and restaurants only an hour from John o Groats and minutes to lovely beaches. Undoubtedly one of the best holiday homes we have stayed - the views from the balcony are amazing.

Spent 2nights at Marilyn's chalet, and have to say, we were so glad we chose here to stay. The accommodation was everything we needed and more! Marilyn was on hand to give advice on the surrounding area and was the perfect host. The location was 2 minutes away from the most amazing beach, we hope to be able to visit again in the near future and wouldn't stay anywhere else.

We last minute booked due to the weather change. Kevin got back to us literally 5 minutes later with all the details. Had a wonderful stay, they had all the stuff you would need if you was cycling through so you didnt need to pop to the shops apart from some dinner ideas. However he does have a honesty shop with plenty of supplys. This also goes to charity. The breakfast was top notch and freshly laid eggs were amazing. Bigger bonus was this gets topped up every morning !! The site had an awesome fire pit area and also another undercover fire pit area to bbq outside if desired. There are plenty of areas to walk and dogs are welcome. Kevin was very welcoming and loved chatting to him. He had amazing storys of the local area and very knowledgeable. He has a very cute border collie too :) If we ever come up to the highlands again were definitely be staying here. Would highly recommend staying here and by far the best pods weve ever stayed in.

The time at the cottage was incredibly beautiful and slowing down. We enjoyed every second there. Peter was incredibly helpful, totally nice and had great recommendations for our time in the cottage. The cottage was totally lovely decorated, cozy and everything was thoughtful. From the hot water bottle, to the firewood, good equipment in the kitchen... We were really happy and already miss life there! We would come back any time and fell in love with Scotland a bit more!

The location and surrounding area is excellent, had breakfast while lambs jumped around. Accommodation is perfect and spotlessly clean. Check in was very easy and although we didn’t see our host, she communicated with us perfectly.

What a delightful cottage with stunning views. So peaceful and relaxing. The hosts were exceptionally helpful. We had a great time and throughly recommended this cottage. Dog friendly was a bonus too.

lovely, peaceful and clean place in the country. hosts were helpful and friendly. enjoyed our stay

Great place to stay. It was just a quick stopover en route to Orkney, but everything needed was there and very clean. Extremely dog-friendly, and our two liked having a dog secure area at the front. Very friendly and responsive owners.

Not too sure what to say about this stunning house, other than WOW WOW WOW!!! If you’re looking for the perfect base for a group or family getaway, look no further (I looked far and wide before stumbling over Keiss Harbour House and what a find!!!) From start to finish, Jill has been a fantastic host. The house was exactly as described and even better than expected! We were completely blown away. We visited Keiss as a surprise 40th birthday trip with my boyfriend and 8 of our friends. We all agreed that this is by far the best stay any of us have had. There was something for all of us, walking, to beach trips, the beautiful local town of Wick, kite surfing, diving, john o’groats, lots of delicious food. A Tesco 10 mins down the road meant we were able to make great use of the brilliantly stocked kitchen, the stew cooked in the huge slow cooker provided went down a treat after a blustery day! We aren’t ones to return to the same destination but will definitely be back!

Beautiful house and gardens wirh private lake. Had everything you could need and more. House and surroundings was immaculate and was the pefect location for a relaxing family getaway.

A peaceful stay in the clean and well decorated birdbox during lambing with views over the strath. We took our corgi Nana along who loved laying on the grass listening to the birds and sheep. There were plenty amenities available to prepare meals. The hottub was very cosy even as temperatures dropped. Easy to access the north coast to go sightseeing.

This is a really unique stay and I spent a good part of my time there looking out at sea wondering when I would next be able to come back. So that should tell you how much I liked it! It’s at a lighthouse, so as you would expect, it’s at the end of a long road (which is very bumpy in places!). Then you get to the cosy house, with a wood fire, and well stocked kitchen with welcome treats. Alan is very friendly as are the dogs and the chickens! My child loved feeding them every morning. The fresh farm eggs were such a treat. Cantick Head itself is stunning and we loved being in the hot tub and sauna. Note to other guests- all these are wood powered so stock up on firewood before you arrive (you can buy bags at the shop next to the Lyness ferry). My mum took one of the bikes out and we all enjoyed walking the coastline. This is a special stay, don’t hesitate to book!

myself, fiance and our 3 fur babies had the best time! 2 nights just didn't seem long enough! the pod was immaculate, it had everything we could ever need as well as bowls and towels for the dogs. The hot tub was just perfect and we loved our cow neighbours! what made it even more great was Yvonne, she gave us plenty of ideas on where to go and the best places to visit with the dogs. Nothing was too much trouble! We will definitely be back again in the near future 😊

Can’t describe how beautiful the location is . The house is so beautiful and the view is breathtaking . We were welcomed by golden rays of sun and a rainbow . Sarah is the loveliest and warmest person I have ever met . She personally helped us know everything about the house. The kitchen is very well equipped. Kids room was so much fun with colourful lights , they had so much fun. Due to lack of time we couldn’t enjoy the hot tub and many more things like walking down the shore or the area. We just laid down and soaked in as much as we could. Overall this stay was amazing and definitely made our NC500 memorable.

Absolutely fantastic location, with fantastic scenery nearby. Had some wonderful walks, literally behind the property. The BBQ area was fantastic like the hot tub. I can’t say much more, but I will be looking to return ASAP Matthew is a fantastic host and nothing seems to be too much of a problem. Loved the place, oh and the Highland cows are awesome.

Beautiful location only stayed for one night due to our plans we could have stayed longer and if we return will definitely rebook

Fantastic host. Modern yet cozy home. Otherworldly landscape. If you’re looking for a truly special retreat, go ahead and just book this property. Fiona is a welcoming and accommodating host who goes out of her way to make sure your stay is as comfortable and smooth as possible. The croft itself is stunning. Beautiful starry nights to sleep under and glorious sunrises to wake to. Full floor heating, tasteful furnishings, and a well equipped kitchen keeps the wilderness out. The little town of Durness has everything you need for your stay including friendly residents who are happy to share a conversation with you. I’m not sure when I’ll be back, but whenever that is, it won’t be soon enough.
