Salmon Landings is a 5-star guest house and bed & breakfast situated along Port Ghrant Road at Strathy Point, near Thurso. Set in a former salmon fishing station, the property has been thoughtfully converted into comfortable accommodation showcasing scenic views over a private bay and rugged coastline. Its remote location offers a peaceful retreat for those exploring the North Coast 500 route.
The guest house features spacious, well-appointed rooms without air conditioning, reflecting its traditional character and rural setting. Facilities include free Wi-Fi, free parking, and smoke-free areas, and while the property does not offer a restaurant, airport shuttle, pool, or fitness center, guests can enjoy a cozy communal lounge with panoramic views. Breakfast is served in the conservatory, often featuring local salmon, and an optional three-course evening meal is available on-site.
Visitors frequently highlight the welcoming hosts and the comfortable, homely atmosphere. Many appreciate the peaceful surroundings, some spotting local wildlife like highland cows and sheep nearby. The property is especially suited to travelers seeking tranquillity and a base for sightseeing and coastal walks rather than those looking for extensive on-site amenities or nightlife.

I really wish I had stayed more nights here. Easily my favorite accommodation along the NC500. The food was delicious, the rooms were incredibly comfortable, and the property views can’t be beat. Plus I saw some highland cows when driving away in the morning!
Wonderful place. Great reception and hosts. Amazing location, with edge of the cliff views out to the horizon and the islands. I loved the decor of wonderful weird placings and sculptures and Bramble was just great! Not the cheapest but certainly worth it and an ideal edge of the north coast experience!
We loved our stay at Salmon Landings. The location is remote but not difficult to find, and the views are amazing, plus there are sheep and highland cows next door. The owners are really helpful and friendly. Our room was comfortable and the facilities were excellent, we particularly enjoyed watching Bake Off in the very comfortable communal lounge. We also enjoyed breakfast, including some delicious salmon of course, in the conservatory admiring the garden and views beyond. There is the option of a 3 course evening meal but if you don't want three courses it's possible to book a hot evening meal just down the road at Strathy Inn. I would highly recommend a stop at Salmon Landings for anyone travelling the NC500. We were pleasantly surprised by the high standards at this place, considering how remote it is. A real hidden gem.
Had a wonderful stay for a night in their twin suite! Would absolutely recommend staying here. Fantastic location too!
Beautiful home located above a private bay. Former Salmon fishing station. You wouldn't know it after Keven and his wife were done remodeling it into a first class b&b. Rooms were spacious and fully equipped. Kenen was the most gracious host. The Continental breakfast was the best we've seen. We wished we had booked more than 1 night.
Lovely hosts & really cosy place to stay especially when the weather is cold, we even got to see the Northern lights from here. 10/10 breakfast was the cherry on top
Absolutely loved this place! Beautiful house in a stunning area. Our room was sumptuous, the evening 3 course meal (£30 extra per person, was delicious and excellent value). The breakfast was also amazing. Julie & Kevan are great hosts and very helpful. We wish we stayed longer! Melanie and Peter
My husband and I stayed one night whilst travelling Scotland. We were made to feel very welcome and were so impressed with the beautiful room and facilities we were given. The lounge and dining areas were equally impressive and the dinner we were served was exceptional. The continental breakfast we had was way beyond our expectations. This is a lovely place to stay on your travels - don’t miss it!
