The more informal Invictus Bar & Bistro serves a selection of hearty dishes and snacks throughout the day.

h3. Escape to Caithness

While staying at the hotel you will have plenty of Caithness attractions to explore, including the 16th century Castle and Gardens of Mey, former home of the Queen Mother.

You will also be close to Dunnet Head, the Northernmost point of the Scottish mainland (not John O’ Groats as is commonly thought). There you can see a picturesque 19th century lighthouse and nesting seabirds.

In Thurso itself you can visit the ruined castle on the beach or sample a dram at Wolfburn Distillery, while nearby towns and villages to explore include Wick, Castletown and Halkirk.
