If you want to catch the early train south from Thurso, the Premier Inn next door to the station is the place to spend the night. Premier Inns specialize in "no worries," and this one delivers on that. We were passing through Thurso, from the Stromness-Scrabster ferry. The bus from the ferry port drops you several blocks from the train station, sp expect to walk--but you'll do that at some point, and we preferred to get the walk out of the way. Location aside, the staff were great, and Premier Inn delivered on its basic promise--decent food, a comfortable room, and the often unstaffed train station just around the corner. Food is important here--Thurso may have some good options, but if you are passing through, you really don't want to have to go searching. Some people like "character" in hotels, and you don't get that from Premier Inn--what you get is confidence, that everything is going to be alright. For two Americans on our one-and-only trip to Scotland, this was exactly what we wanted.
