All staff were very welcoming and attentive. They even cooked a meal for me after the chef had left for the night. The restaurant waiter was a very courteous and efficient young man. The breakfast was huge and served quickly.

Comfy bed, large bathroom and they couldn't do enough for you.
Built in the late 1870s, this imposing Victorian building is set in 3 acres of picturesque countryside only 5 minutes from the town centre of historic Tain.

A great location, the receptionist Mhairi (Celtic for Mary) was frankly INCREDIBLE, breakfast was enjoyable.
I was on a cycling holiday with two bikes and the hotel manager allowed me to charge and store them in the hotel, which was appreciated.
If I were in charge Mhairi would be in management to sharpen up some basics, she is that good

It was very comfortable and gave me my own space away from home. I loved it. The staff were really friendly and the unit had everything I needed. Would highly recommend a stay here.
Quiet area with several options for food and drink.

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.

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.
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.
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.
beautifully decorated, extremely functional, wonderful location, very nice owners, efficient check-in (remote). Price-wise - in this location - unbeatable. A brilliant place as a base for the NC500 tour. Additionally, there is a laundry on the premises and a 10-minute road to Tain (shops - Tesco, Lidl, Asda, etc.). If possible, I'll definitely come back! I recommend it - 11/10.
Our host Dennis was warm and welcoming, and provided us with a delicious hot breakfast each morning. Our room was spacious, and we enjoyed afternoon tea and evening whiskey in the easy chairs set by the large bay window overlooking the water. I would certainly recommend the Shandwick House to visitors to Tain looking for a quiet and restful room.
Ideal location, staff very friendly and approachable and meals served in hotel were great value for money ,delicious and even though restaurant was busy came very quickly. The apartment we had was comfortable , constant hot water and as it was October very cosy. The kitchen had ample facilities to cover every eventuality and beds comfortable.
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.
Very peaceful at the edge of a new development. A very large parking area with trees, shrubs, and outdoor seating. The hotel was well signposted just off the Tain by-pass. The evening meal was very good -- we are elderly and had to ask for smaller portions on our second night.
Well appointed spacious room fitted out in period room. Modern well equipped bathroom. Excellent friendly checkin. Restaurant not open in night but they offered chauffeur driven Range Rover car down and back to castles sister hotel.
Breakfast was lovely.
Very comfortable bed.
All of the stay lived up to my expectations. I know Tain well and always find it a friendly little town. Whilst it may not have the 'bright lights' that some enjoy it has two excellent stand-alone restaurants as well as the ones attached to the hotels.
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!
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.
The check in was super easy, location was perfect for walking into Tain for dinner and drinks and a pit stop to the shops. We had a very comfortable sleep and delicious breakfast!
Lovely quiet self contained apartment, welll set out, comfy bed , sofa and even a coffe machine. Everything you could need and more.
