The Auld Post Office is a relaxed and friendly B&B nestled on the edge of woodland, a peaceful haven in which to relax and unwind and perfectly situated for a tour of the Northern Highlands, famed for its dramatic and rugged coastline, sandy beaches, shimmering lochs and heather moorland. The area is rich too in archaeological remains with some of the best surviving brochs and chambered cairns. The sweeping coastline from Dunnet Head, the most northerly headland to the great sea stacks at Duncansby, are a bird watcher's paradise.
There are two ensuite guest rooms, each have French doors inviting you to the patio and gardens beyond. The guest rooms are decorated in a blend of Art Deco and contemporary styles. A separate Annex Suite includes a comfy sitting room, with a reclining leather sofa by the wood burning stove and a Twin or Superking ensuite bedroom. Well behaved dog(s) are welcome for guests staying in the Annex Suite.
A leisurely, locally sourced hearty breakfast is served in the dining room with distant views across the moors. Delicious eggs are from the rare breed hens in the secluded gardens. A haven for wildlife where the planting has been carefully chosen to encourage birds, bees and butterflies.
Quality restaurants are just a short drive to both Halkirk and Watten, (5 minutes by car) as well as numerous bars and restaurants in Thurso and Wick. We are happy to make a reservation for you.
Visit the Castle and Gardens at Mey, the RSPB Reserve at Dunnet Head, the most northerly tip of mainland UK, the giant sea stacks at Duncansby Head. Caithness has 8 Lighthouses and more than 25 harbours on its rugged coastline, with many castle ruins, sea arches, sea bird colonies and beautiful white sandy beaches. If time allows, explore the Sonnet in the Sea it's almost a secret, the beautiful secluded beach at Peedie Sands or the Fairy Glen at Latheron.
