A 3 day, 2 nights golf trip was excellent, with the hotel location, value for money, & 2 first class full breakfasts all significant contributions to a great weekend.

Staff very friendly and good excellent. Very helpful and allowed early check in.

8/10 Very good

Great breakfast in old hotel.

I had a pleasant stay. There are a few simple things to improve on but it is an old building and it may not always be straightforward. Wi-Fi was strangely weak even though there was a router outside my room. Only slight issue was whilst the welcome was friendly there was little information given out on matters such as WiFi codes and breakfast times. I would happily stay again just for the fantastic fried breakfast.

Great stop off & not overpriced

Welcoming host, lovely old hotel Only stayed 1 night and it was good for the money. Comfortable bed, good bathroom Excellent breakfast spread, never seen such a good range of cereals and fruit at breakfast I don’t have cooked but from what I could see everyone seemed happy with the cooked breakfast

The manager was very kind. The hotel is in need of repair and update. Our room was fine.
Grace, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

This place looked great online, but disappointed in every area. It has potential but is very outdated and tired. Wifi & TV didn't work, bathroom had a "spongy" floor, breakfast was mediocre. And there was pretty much zero happening in the town- not this fault of course- we stayed there because we did some tours in area. Pros: it had free parking and the owners/managers were very nice and accommodating. But sadly, that didn't make up for the price we payed and the overall experience.

Richard, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is a pleasant old building. It is definitely tired and overdue for a refreshing overhaul. That said, the staff were so accommodating and helpful that they made up for the buildings shortcomings. I would not hesitate to stay here if I was passing through again.
Alexander, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Was a bit rundown from former grandeur. Could have down with the room heater on for an hour before arrival; dining room at breakfast was Baltic. Pleasant staff.
Andrew, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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….
Robina, 1-night trip

Friendly staff. Good whiskey bar. Thevhotel is tired and needing a lot of work to improve it. No power in the room in morning. One staff member available to do breakfast and sort out power problem.

The staff are very nice and friendly and are doing their best with what is available. The single room I stayed in was very poor and the bathroom was the worse I have ever seen.

On arrival I was upgraded to “the boardroom “. Great but the downside was a TV the did not work because of the aerial connection. Lovely big bathroom with new fitttings, but the bath did not drain.
