Executive Rooms at the Ulbster Arms Hotel, Thurso

Looking for upgraded luxury hotels in Thurso, Scotland? At the Ulbster Arms Hotel, our Executive Rooms offer one of the most comfortable and tranquil upgrades in Caithness. Set within our stunning Milton and Ulbster buildings, they sit just a short walk from the main house. Here, you’ll enjoy a peaceful atmosphere, contemporary style, and extra touches of comfort. And with more space and modern furnishings, you’ll enjoy a relaxing base for exploring the North Highlands.

At the Ulbster Arms, we have seven Executive Rooms available. Five are doubles, one is a large double, and one is a twin. Each comes with its own ensuite bath and/or shower room, offering plenty of privacy and convenience. All in all, the Executive Rooms are more luxurious than our traditional standard rooms. This makes them ideal for guests seeking something special whilst enjoying the friendly warmth and character that define the Ulbster Arms Hotel.

The Milton and Ulbster buildings, where the Executive Rooms reside, also have their own unique charm. A part of the estate’s historic grounds, they enjoy seclusion while remaining close to the restaurant, bar, and reception. Because of this, you’ll find the perfect balance between independence and convenience, with all the benefits of a modern hotel in Scotland.

Facilities to expect from one of the top luxury hotels in Thurso Scotland

Although the Executive Rooms sit within the Milton and Ulbster buildings, they remain close to the heart of the Ulbster Arms Hotel. For example, just a short stroll brings you to our lounge bar, restaurant, library, and beer garden. And here, you can unwind with local food, good company, or a quiet drink after a day exploring Caithness. These shared spaces retain the character of a traditional hotel while providing the comfort and atmosphere expected from one of the finest hotels near Thurso, Scotland.

We’re also proud to be a dog-friendly hotel. Dogs are therefore welcome in most of our guest rooms and in designated public areas throughout the main building. And with so many riverside walks, open fields, and coastal paths nearby, bringing your four-legged companion along is highly recommended. However, if you’re travelling with a dog, simply let us know when booking so we can allocate a suitable room.

And for business guests, we offer excellent corporate facilities, and our meeting spaces, dining options, and quiet rooms make us a convenient base for travellers working in Caithness, Thurso, Wick, and the wider north of Scotland. With reliable Wi-Fi, private parking, and peaceful Executive Rooms, business travel becomes far more comfortable and productive at the Ulbster Arms Hotel.

Went here today to celebrate Father’s 90th birthday. Had a lovely lunch, the food was excellent and so we’re the staff. They were very attentive, bringing the kids colouring books and crayons when they started getting restless. Lovely atmosphere in the dining room.
