Get ready for Valentine’s with relaxed February escapes

February is the season for quiet, personal Highland connections, making February escapes a popular choice for couples. And because the Ulbster Arms Hotel combines 19th-century charm with a snug, intimate atmosphere, it’s perfect for a romantic winter break. The riverside setting also adds a natural sense of calm, as the sun sets early over the frost-dusted fields.

So, couples can enjoy slow, lazy mornings before heading out to witness the Northern Lights, which often dance across the dark skies of Caithness this time of year. Returning to the hotel to warm up by the fire in our library or enjoying a candlelit meal in our à la carte restaurant makes for a truly restorative experience. All in all, if you’re searching for the best weekend breaks in February, our winter sale allows you to treat someone special for less.

Testimonials

After many years hoping , with good friends I finally got my first opportunity to visit for an angling trip last week of season. I stayed in a chalet which was spotless each day no matter how bad I I had managed to leave it.. The food was exceptional, no other words and its testimony how many non fishers are in every day from late afternoon dining.

Fishing was all the more made special by morning encouragement from Geordie, The two Pats and all the rest of the team that were always around to see everyone off…

Finally I cant point out that not one staff member that was nothing but professional and charming.. Its a small hotel operation at first glance, but its a much bigger operation than you imagine. It gets everything right and I cant wait to return. Whether as angler or just a resident guest… quite excellent.. All I can say.. They are very good at what they do and can feel proud …
