Ulbster Arms Hotel – Your business hotel in Caithness

The go-to corporate accommodation for Caithness contractors

The North of Scotland is home to some of the UK’s most significant infrastructure projects. First, there’s nuclear decommissioning at Dounreay and wind farm developments in Caithness. There are also various engineering contracts, distillery operations, and oil and gas work across the region. As a result, specialist teams travel here from across the country.

If you’re travelling for business, be it a short business trip or a long-term corporate stay, the Ulbster Arms Hotel offers the ideal base. We also offer favourable corporate rates for those booking longer-term business trips.

Business hotel facilities and corporate trip options

Whether you’re here for a short business stay or an extended visit, the Ulbster Arms Hotel is the perfect balance of comfort and practicality. Many of our guests visit us as contractors, for conferences, or for ongoing projects around the Highlands. As a result, we’ve designed the hotel to make accommodation for business travel in the UK as convenient as possible.

Each room includes a dedicated workspace and fast Wi-Fi, so you can work from your room as easily as any office. Breakfast is served daily in the main hotel building, with early sittings available for those with early starts. Beyond your room, you’ll find flexible spaces including meeting rooms in Caithness, as well as event areas, and private dining. This gives teams everything they need under one roof. We also offer tailored corporate rates and packages for longer project stays or team visits, making us a reliable choice for any corporate trip in Scotland.

Early breakfasts suit those with full schedules, while evening seating areas are ideal for team debriefs and next-day preparation. For guests travelling between sites, our reception can help with travel routes and transport options. This kind of attentive service is what sets the Ulbster Arms Hotel apart from other business hotels in the North Highlands.

Business retreats and corporate hospitality in the Highlands

As one of the most respected names in corporate hospitality Scotland has to offer, the Ulbster Arms Hotel regularly hosts business retreats, meetings, and team-building events for companies across the country. Our mix of professional facilities and Highland hospitality makes us a standout choice for business retreats in the North Highlands.

Groups can enjoy exclusive use of our private dining rooms and reserved restaurant areas, ideal for team discussions or client dinners. Menus can be customised to suit your needs, from working breakfasts to multi-course evening meals. We also provide packed lunches and late dining options to keep flexible schedules running smoothly.

Our team can arrange tailored business retreat packages combining accommodation, catering, and optional activities around Caithness and Thurso. This flexibility, paired with our peaceful riverside setting, makes the Ulbster Arms Hotel one of the leading business retreat locations in northern Scotland.

Travel for business and unwind with colleagues

Project work in the Highlands often means long days and tight schedules. The Ulbster Arms gives your team space to decompress without leaving the site. Communal lounges across both the Ulbster and Milton buildings are ideal for informal meetings, end-of-day debriefs, or simply switching off. Fast Wi-Fi, free parking, and attentive staff mean nothing gets in the way. All in all, we make booking business travel, and enjoying your stay, effortless.

Our riverside location adds something genuinely different to a corporate trip. Guests regularly head out for evening walks along the River Thurso, taking in views of the surrounding hills between busy workdays. As a result, many of our long-stay guests tell us it’s what makes travelling for business in Caithness feel manageable rather than gruelling.
