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.

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.
Lovely venue, very obliging and generous staff. Room was great.
Couldn’t have been more helpful. Helped arrange dinner and supplies transport. Well stocked bar showcasing whiskeys of the broader region.
Breakfast was sumptuous.
Staff were quite remarkable/ kept checking in- really understand a service culture.
It would be a pity that a place with such character may not be sustained in the future due to mounting maintenance costs. It’s a great place which deserves clientele who appreciate it, we’ll be back if we can,

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.
The two large rooms we booked were fabulous. However the single room was not possible for our 100-year-old father so we stayed in a smaller upper room so as to give him a larger room on the second floor. The beds were comfortable. We loved having bathtubs. The breakfast was lovely. An extra attraction was a bagpipe band which performed the night we were there, right in front of the hotel.
All of it. The area is so nice and I love visiting. The cottage was amazing and had everything you needed and tain really wasn't far away. It is separate and attached onto the main house so everyone has their own privacy and doors. You can also get a discount at a local restaurant if you stay so if you fancy a nice meal also this is the place to come. Very peaceful and beautiful.
This was our 7th night in Scotland. We stayed in 6 B and B’s before the Shandwick house and all were nice places. That said, Dennis’ hospitality was bar none. Not just the nicest host we had but quite possibly the nicest person we met the whole trip. Breakfast was phenomenal, room was phenomenal and location was excellent. Book it.
So the hotel is slightly on the tired side, but it is clean and comfortable. The staff are lovely. But the main reason for writing a review - the food!!! Oh my, it was the best meal i have in Scotland in a long time. This place will most certainly be added to my list of places to stay when away for work.
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.
Really gorgious guesthouse. I stayed just one night but fully enjoyed my stay. Very clean, new and comfy rooms, friendly staff, nice and tasty continental breakfast. Plenty of walk around in beautiful area. 5 minutes to Tain center. Loved it and hopefully will visit again.
A very friendly and welcoming host. A superb room, nicely furnished, with dual aspect windows and great views. A great breakfast selection. Tain and its close surroundings (Portmahomack and Tarbat Ness lighthouse to name 2) are definitely worth a stop.
Breakfast (self service continental style buffet) was very good, the breakfast room was comfortable and clean.
I liked the ease of parking and there was a short walk into Tain for evening food and drink.
We didn’t get to stay in this hotel, we got bumped down to the sister hotel, The Morangie Hotel. The staff were very nice and helpful, the place was clean and we enjoyed the food.
The place was easy to find, no problems with the key-safe access. The converted container is fitted with all the facilities needed to make a short (summer) stay comfortable.
The restaurant food was great.
But the breakfast basket was outstanding.
We had one room in the hotel and the cottage.
Warm, clean and comfy beds.
The staff were great.
