Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Huge room, very comfortable and large bed. Excellent food in the restaurant.
Little bit pricey but not much choice in the area.
Cooked breakfast took too long,
The resturant
Nothing
Everything! Loved the location, great service, the wee dram in the room.
Really nice place and staff were lovely, so was the room
Nothing we didnt like
Great location, lovely room and friendly staff
The lounge area that is shown on photos is not there so only a small area to sit before dinner The worst thing was that every day the kitchen was missing something so on a quite basic menu there was no haggis for breakfast, no steak for dinner and no peppercorn sauce another day. These are all staples to a Scottish hotel and should not be missing !! We then went to the sister hotel Marine hotel Brora and they have virtually an identical menu !!
Excellent choices and quality

Staff were friendly and welcoming. The bedroom was cosy large and light with a bath with a view. Big bed with lovely linen. Dinner and breakfast was very nice.

It was our 40th Anniversary and the hotel went the extra step to make it special! The room was perfect; roomy, romantic, cozy and very well appointed. They reserved a lovely window table for our dinner and brought us a special celebratory dessert. The hike in the morning to Castle Varrich was a delight. We couldn't have asked for more!
Very comfortable very good food for breakfast and evening meal lively friendly staff
No blind at the bathroom window
Quirky old Hunting lodge. Large bedroom, comfortable super king bed. Attentive bar and restaurant staff.
Same menu every evening.
The staff interactions were great overall. That was the best part. The room was clean overall, with a complimentary small bottle of sherry. It had comfortable bedding and pillows. The heater in the room was effective.
Food was disappointing overall. For dinner, we ordered Thai monkfish curry and chicken skewers. The fish did not taste like Thai curry at all and the skewers seemed more like smoked chicken in a wrap with some veggies. Value for money spent on it felt like a disappointment and feedback was shared nicely, and acknowledged. Breakfast was okay. Also, there are no elevators or easy ways to take heavy luggage up the stairs (if your room is on the second or third floor). The room (including bathroom) on the top floor had a slanted roof, which makes it difficult for taller people. The shower cubicle felt small.
Good location with plenty parking
Expensive for a basic standard hotels
Beautiful property. Room was spacious, well decorated and comfortable for our stay. Very good sized bathroom. Fantastic breakfast
Nothing
Very friendly staff Good restaurant Very good breakfast with nice dishes that can be ordered Nice room interiors with a nice selection of coffee and tea offerings Nice bath room
Our room was close to the kitchen/restaurant, which meant that we heard some noise in the morning and in the evening - this likely affects this room more than others

Le restaurant était très bon
Un peu vieillot
The room was beautiful and comfortable, staff were kind and helpful. Breakfast was amazing and the location is excellent and easy to get to.
Ridiculous price for quality of accommodation
Het hotel is zeer sfeervol en de kamer was zeer ruim en smaakvol ingericht. Appart zitje in de kamer was heel fijn. De kwaliteit van het eten was uitstekend.
Eigenlijk niks.
Beautiful location. Great restaurant and food.
Value for money was questionable as I booked early and a high price, checked on the day and price had dropped by over £100 (and more luxurious rooms where available for less than I paid for). Highlighted it was a very special birthday but no offer of upgrade.
Quasiment le seul hotel à des km à la ronde. Mais très bien, avec un restaurant au top. Le style date un peu mais franchement, c'est propre, agréable, spacieux et calme. Rien à dire.

Great location on the NC500 route with beautiful views. The room was comfortable and the bathroom was large and well equipment including a bath. Breakfast had a good range of options both hot and cold. The staff were very helpful and friendly and there was plenty of parking.
The hotel was expensive compared to others. The room only lacked reading lights and was otherwise very comfortable. The restaurant was the only choice in the area and the food was ok but not amazing.
Très bons équipements Belle vue Personnel Agréable

Lovely hotel. Good staff and fab breakfast
Het dessert!
Het doorverwijzen naar een parking voor opladen wagen, nadien toch mogen opladen.
On the NC500. Food was good, both breakfast and dinner. Huge bedroom. Staff were lovely.
A little expensive
El tamaño de las habitaciones y el confort general. El deayuno y la cena fueron muy agradables y bien servidos
Nuestras habitaciones daban a la parte trasera con pocas vistas y en el baño faltaban repisas para colocar los productos. El lavabo demasiado pequeño para el tamaño del baño y para tener el precio que tiene la habitación.
Personale gentilissimo Ristorante molto buono
Posizione della camera : nessuna vista sul mare nonostante la posizione Camera piccola con letto alla francese e non matrimoniale classico
Großzügiges Zimmer, mit annehmbaren Bad. Im Großen und Ganzen ein charmantes Hotel mit britischen (schottischen) Flair. Regionale sehr gute Küche!! Das Porridge sehr zu empfehlen!
So langsam in die Jahre gekommen. Fehlen einer vernünftigen Rezeption. (diese befindet sich unmittelbar hinter der Eingangstür des Hotels)
The bedrooms were spacious and the bed confortable. Staff were all lovely.
The dinner was good but sadly there was only one portion of the fish we had chosen. For breakfast, there was no salmon at all which was disappointing.
Le bâtiment ancien typiquement écossais, le personnel très aimable et les très bons petits déjeuners.
Lits en 140 trop justes pour un couple. Le plat et dessert au restaurant que j'ai peu apprécié ( j'ai pris le caulliflower steak, trop spicy à mon goût.
L’accoglienza dello staff, la bellezza dell’hotel, la colazione
È suonato un allarme antincendio alle 3 di notte, avrei gradito una imdicazione o rassicurazione

There was nothing I didn’t like
Location e struttura. Buona colazione.
La porta del bagno non rimane chiusa e tende ad aprirsi..
The staff were wonderful, chatty, attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Evening meals were very good.
Bel hôtel bien placé calme, jolie vue, belle promenade au petit château juste à côté. Grande chambre. Grande salle de bain. Bon petit déjeuner chaud compris. Personnel sympathique. Bel accueil.
Restaurant décevant pour le souper. Photos booking des plats ne correspondent pas du tout au menu qui est vraiment un menu de pub basique mais cher.
très beau bâtiment bien aménagé bel emplacement ne pas rater la plage de Skinnet à quelques km bon restaurant et personnel aux soins

Chambre hyper spacieuse Personnel gentil, souriant et serviable Petit-déjeuner copieux Vue sur le fjord et le château magnifique
The staff were amazing, we ate at the diner and the food was quality and tasty The room was big, the views were spectacular and we slept well for the night.
The shower pressure was alittle weak and it didnt cleanse the body good enough.
Historic place recently renovated, good position and great staff
Beautiful building and rooms
Shower not hot
Un très bon emplacement pour découvrir le nord des Highlands
Very friendly staff, good services and dinner. Excellent breakfast. Excellent location. Nice sunset view.
Room and bathroom somewhat outdated. No elevator.
The whole experience was excellent, wonderful location, excellent staff, excellent food, just perfect.
Grande chambre confortable, grande salle de bains bien équipée, restau très correct, personnel dynamique, bref... un quasi sans faute.
Le prix, élevé même pour la région
Tolles Zimmer mit freistehender Wanne. Herzliches Personal und gutes Essen.

Tongue hotel stands out because of the staff who try to make you stay as comfortable as possible.
I would of liked a resident lounge where you could enjoy a book and a coffee

Die Zimmer waren sehr ordentlich. Das Hotel ist sehr abgelegen in den Highlands, aber es gibt eine E-Ladesäule. Alle Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich. Das Restaurant bietet eine sehr hochwertige Küche.
Die Frühstückskarte ist gut, aber etwas unübersichtlich. Die Zimmer sind direkt an das Restaurant angeschlossen. Die vielen Teppiche sind etwas schwierig für Stauballergiker. Die Zimmerpreise sind etwas teuer für die Ausstattung.
Lage und freundliches Personal
Kein Wasserdruck in der Dusche, sehr enges Bett
Excellent room with stunning views, good food

Very welcoming and hospitable staff. We got a nice and airy room. The breakfast was varied and good. Peaceful place.
The water pressure in the shower was low. Maybe it was because we had a room on the top floor.
Everything was fantastic especially the serving staff in the restaurant. Food was 10/10 with all the dishses. Cheers to the lady who was extremely friendly and helped us at the dinner plus got us milk in a thermos for our little one :)
Beds could be a bit comfortable/better :)
Absolutely exceptional. The photos don’t do it justice. The staff were incredibly nice and forthcoming, the rooms were really lovely and cozy with modern bathrooms. There were lots of extras and nice touches. The restaurant food was really good. Location ace, with incredible views.
Honestly can’t think of anything bad about it
Das nette Personal und das schöne Zimmer.
Das Doppelbett hätte breiter sein können.
Perfect location and setup
One threatening email that was submitted just before we arrived: check out time is 10am if you are later than this you will be charged for a late stay. Is that really necessary? Just put a downer on an otherwise positive experience. Just spoilt it really, the threat hanging over you. Need to remove this from your approach, doesn’t matter how many nice toiletries and touches you put into your exceptional location if the only communication with your guests is to threaten them.
La chambre était belle, dans l'esprit britannique, la table était bonne et le service impécable

Very cosy and good food!
Excellent room - clean and well furnished. Close to door into the large garden which our dog loved.
No lift. The stairs were quite difficult for carrying bags.
Séjour très agréable dans un bel hôtel situé dans une région splendide, avec un personnel très aimable et prévenant, qui vous fait regretter de ne pas rester plus longtemps !

Great location, nice place with attentive staff. The resturant was very good
Great location, wonderful staff. Wonderful view.
The pressure water in the shower was very weak. The mattress bed was too soft.
Clean room, modern shower room, comfy bed. Wonderful staff and great ambience. The food was also excellent
Parking could be better
Great location. Lovely staff. Nice bar and restaurant. Decent dinner and breakfast. We had a dog friendly room on the lower ground floor with direct access to the gardens. Very large room with separate seating area with a sofa. Very comfortable. Large and comfortable bed too.
We loved this hotel on our journey exploring the northern highlands of Scotland. The hotel is lovely and our room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was truly exceptional - helpful and kind. We had a wonderful dinner and breakfast in the restaurant.
Very nice apartment, nice bathroom, I only miss separate shower. Everything was in traditional style but new. The size of bad was more than enough and bigger than in other hotels
It is a beautiful hotel in a gorgeous spot. If driving the NC 500 this is the place to stay along the northern coast.
No place to hang a toiletries bag in the bathroom is really my only complaint.
Hotel de charme très agréable et bien rénové. Très bonne table
Attentive friendly lovely staff. Catered for our doggie so well. Nice welcome pack, drink and beautiful room. Great location

Our room was fabulous, the food was excellent and the service was out standing. Would highly recommend.
Nothing to dislike
Heel prettig klassiek Schots hotel. Goed diner, klassiek Schots ontbijt.
The restaurant breakfast and dinner were very good.
No milk with the breakfast tray in the room No plus near the mirrors
Room was comfy and well appointed. Nice outside areas.
Food prices were high, £20 for 3 scallops. One of the downstairs ladies toilets did not lock and upstairs one closed, cracked window in restaurant, just felt like the building was not well maintained
Sehr schönes Zimmer in einem schön gepflegten alten Hotel.
