The management and staff were very nice and helpfull. The room was clean and was cleaned with the towls replaced every day. The food was great with good portions and really well priced. If you like Whiskey the bar selection is crazy! Great few nights stay, absolutely recommend it for the price.

The property needs upkeep. The floor in the hallway has spots where it is very soft. If the carpet weren’t there you might step through. Finding an outlet to charge devices was not easy. The WiFi is slow and we had to ask for the password, it was not given at check in or posted anywhere in our room. The key to our room did not work and we had to ask for one that did. The free breakfast was a table full of open cereal boxes. We won’t be back.

Do not stay here. This beautiful old hotel has gone to rack and ruin. The bedrooms were clean but that was about the only thing. The bathroom had a heated radiator that has the wires taped together with insulation tape and a PAT test sticker on it from 2018. The tv in the room had no signal, the curtains didn’t close properly. We didn’t even stop to have breakfast just a coffee was enough with food left out uncovered and more than enough flies to put you off. The waiter had a dirty shirt and trousers on. The chair legs stuck to the carpet! There is visible damp in almost every room we went in. The staff eat their evening meal in the bar area with one of them even monitoring his blood pressure regularly! For £120 a night it was a disgrace. Never again!!!

Perfectly adequate for a work stay. Great staff.
The hotel is spacious, has ample parking and is near all the town amenities but is a bit old and tired. The resident manager appears to run it single handed and does a brilliant job. In a part of the world where hotel accommodation in the main tourist season is often eye-wateringly over-priced this is a good option for working travellers.

Run by a lovely family. This hotel is right on the John o’Groats trail (and in the centre of Tain) and provided a very comfortable nights stay after a long days walk. I noticed it also provides /thinks of the details that not all hotels (along the trail) do…. Bottled water, big pack of shortbread, giant tv (not the tiny wee ones you often get on the wall), alarm clock, in shower mat….
