Situated in a prime central location, Sandra’s Hostel has recently been extended and refurbished, to the exacting standards of the Carson family, into one of the most modern in Scotland. The Hostel is centrally located in the town within easy reach of amenities such as pubs, takeaways, restaurants, nightclub, shops, gardens, etc. It is also within short walking distance of both the sea-front and Thurso river. There are a wide variety of activities on offer as well as some stunning locations. An excellent base for a Caithness or North Coast break.

Thurso surf is legendary for good reason but the area is fickle for waves and conditions can change in a short space of time. Thurso East is for experienced surfers but there are numerous uncrowded breaks in the area for all levels of rider. Click here for a guide to NE Scotland’s best breaks.
