    Thrumster House is an incredible, old laird's house, and you truly feel like royalty stepping into the spacious foyer and gallery. The rooms were decorated with really nice touches and were filled with personal memorabilia of the host family....

Thrumster House is a Victorian Laird's house, it has been our home for 3 generations. We welcome guests to our pet friendly B+B through out the year
We love the outdoor country life, walking the dogs, playing piano and gardening.
The area we live has a wealth of wildlife, beautiful coastal scenery and we are in the centre of an ancient landscape comprised of many archaeological sites stretching back to the mesolithic era. We have a broch in the grounds and are mile from the Yarrows Archaeological Trail
