The cabin was not the one we booked as we were upgraded due to double booking however it was similar and a little larger than original. The facilities are basic and clean but too unnecessarily compact in the shower/toilet space.
Quiet area with several options for food and drink.
Quiet area with several options for food and drink. Platform 1867 a fun restaurant with good food, friendly staff and lovely outside area. Plenty of shops and petrol stations. We didnt make it to the beach as travelling each day. Great base for North East and West coast. Good road and rail connections.

I used Tain as a base for a golf holiday in the Highlands.
I used Tain as a base for a golf holiday in the Highlands. Although I did not play Tain Golf Club which is basically next to the hotel, it was convenient for rounds at Brora, Golspie, Royal Dornoch and Fortrose & Rosemarkie, within about a 45 minute drive of all four. Tain itself is a nice village with good restaurants and shopping which I took advantage of when my clubs were not in use. Particularly enjoyed Greens Restaurant within a block of the hotel.

When we travelled north to Thurso, then to Okney, we stopped in Tain at a very nice grocery. After Okney and northern Scotland, we had to head back to Edinburgh. Thurso was too far to drive to Edinburgh, and since we were returning from Orkney by ferry. It was too far to drive down to Inverness. But staying in Tain was just right. We arrived in Edinburgh early in the afternoon, feeling refreshed. The Springfield Guest House, Tain was just down the street from that really good grocery, that is open till 9:00pm.

Tain's location allows ease of access to routes further North (for example to Tongue) or West across to Applecross or South to Inverness. There are lovely beaches close to Tain with good places to eat and drink in the town. It has various supermarkets including Tesco and Lidl and other shops in the town centre.

We came up for the Book Festival. Which was well attended and interesting. the location is beautiful and if we'd had more time would have like to go on the pilgrimage and see the pictish trail and the Glen morangie distilery Tour.

Pretty small town with nice walks along the coast and also along the John o'Groats Trail which can be accessed from Tain. Transport links are pretty good as both trains and buses are options. Good places to eat out e.g. Platform 1864 and the St Duthus Hotel. The town museum and the old church are both worth a visit. The town is full of flowers and hanging baskets and the small rose garden in the High Street is lovely and very well maintained by a team of volunteers.
There was a wide choice of continental breakfast with ample fresh fruit etc. No one could complain about the choice and quality . The rooms were excellently appointed and all had free WiFi. We had never stayed on a Guest House before ( always hotels or self catering) and were unexpectedly surprised by the convenience and vfm . If we are in this area again , which we hope to be, we will definitely try to stay here again . Apart from the accommodation it is so excellently situated for touting Northern Scotland .
Love this hotel! The staff was wonderful and everyone was very gracious during our stay. My brother and his wife loved their room and the furnishings - a step back in time. It was like a honeymoon for them. The food in the dining room was delicious especially the duck breast! My sister and I enjoyed our rooms, very comfortable. Would definitely stay there again . thank you to all the staff. We certainly enjoyed our conversations with all of you.
Great little pine chalet in quiet countryside 10 mins drive from Tain and 15 mins walk from Portmahomock. Cosy bedroom, lounge with tv, bathroom with roomy electric shower and kitchen diner with microwave, fridge, induction hobs, kettle and coffee machine. Everything you need for a self catering break. Ideally placed for Tain or walking the coastal path to Tarbet Ness. Super peaceful at night. Reminded us of a traditional Norwegian hytter.
A classical setting surrounded by a nice park and hosted by a very friendly staff, what else does one need !
From Mansfield Castle there are plenty thing to do in the environment. A two or three day stay easily fills a program for sightseeing, golf and walking tours. Diner facilities in associated Morangie hotel satisfactory too. The hotel runs it own bar with all the whisky brands and a knowledgeable staff to advise.
Edderton Lodge is about 300' away from Balblair Distillery in the village of Edderton. Perfect if you are doing a tour and tasting and then going to the lodge to stay. Across the lane is all open fields and a Pictish column. 10 minutes away in Tain is a supermarket, the Glenmorangie Distillery, and a few restaurants. Breakfast was limited but tasted great. Dinner is available if you tell them in advance.
Food was excellent as was the service. Everyone at the hotel goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. All meals are at communal tables. There is no private dining. Common spaces were eclectic but well done. The bedroom decor seems to be 60s / 70s design- a bit unexpected and off.
Shandwick House is great value and an excellent place to stay in Tain. The room was clean and bright and the breakfast was excellent. The host was very approachable and accommodating. The nearby restaurant in the converted train station provided excellent dinners.
The room was amazing with great views. The whole hotel is an experience and the decor is fantastic! The evening meal and breakfast were delicious, all served by lovely, friendly staff. It was a home from home experience and we will definitely be back!
Room clean & well maintained . Bed linen spotless also towels which were replaced daily. Complimentary water & biscuits nice touch. Staff were helpful & extremely polite. Excellent breakfast with varied choice of both hot & cold options.
Location was excellent for centre of Tain and accessing other places to visit along the coast. Very nice ‘welcome’ pack of tea,bread and milk -much needed after the journey! Plenty of clean towels and rooms were clean and tidy!
We had a massive room which was well positioned overlooking the High Street. The bed was really comfortable. Staff were lovely- especially the young couple running the hotel. Good breakfast. Real value for money.
Lovely quiet self contained apartment, welll set out, comfy bed , sofa and even a coffe machine. Everything you could need and more.
