About The Ferry Inn
Scrabster is a small harbour village just outside Thurso, on the north coast of the Highlands, best known as the ferry point for crossings to Orkney and a natural stopping place for anyone driving the North Coast 500. The Ferry Inn sits right in the middle of this, offering straightforward, comfortable accommodation for travellers passing through or staying to explore the area.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, and there are family rooms and accessible rooms available, with drinks provided in room. The inn has its own restaurant and bar, serving breakfast as well as kids meals and packed lunches for those setting off early. Outdoor seating gives a spot to sit with a view of the harbour, and free WiFi and 24 hour reception are included. Free on-site parking makes arriving with a car straightforward, and pets are welcome.
Beyond the inn itself, Scrabster has fishing nearby along with a pub, restaurant and entertainment options close at hand, while Thurso itself is just a short distance away with further amenities. It's a practical base for anyone catching the Orkney ferry or breaking up a longer route along the north coast.
