There really aren’t enough words to express how outstanding this property is. Photos do not do the location or house justice. Additionally, the food, whisky, and service are outstanding. We were lucky to get a reservation in the first place, and luckier still to be able to be rebooked when our travel was derailed. If you are thinking about it, give yourself the pleasure of staying here.
Built in the late 1870s, this imposing Victorian building is set in 3 acres of picturesque countryside only 5 minutes from the town center of historic Tain.

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,
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.
Excellant hosts and very welcome stay, lovely bar to relax on a night, lovely room with good facilities and very clean, what I will say is we were there for 1 night with a rather loud customer which resulted in a poor nights sleep, but the owners tried to handle the situation as it was not their fault, also due to covid only able to offer a takeaway menu as the evening dining option,
Hotel well maintained generally and had a good feel about it.
Room a good size, light and airy and heating controllable.
Quiet.
Own smoked salmon starter was delicious.
Breakfast very generous portions - you won't go hungry!
Good parking facilities.
Staff very helpful but run off their feet!
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.
The location in Tain is great, adjacent to the railway station and Tescos as well as being off the A9 via the local access road the 'Shore Road'. Easy walking to facilities in town and good space for egress and access both ways to and from the accommodation.
Sandwick House is outstanding value. A gem of a place to stay. Stylish rooms . Very well maintained building . Fabulous breakfast, which catered for a vegan without any problem! Really friendly and helpful host. I highly recommend Shandwick House.
Breakfast was excellent as was the dinner we had. We were a little late for the dinner but the Hotel keep restaurant open until we got there. Very impressed with that. The bed was very comfortable.
How cosy and warm the place felt. As well as having everything you needed during your stay. Would definitely recommend this place and am certainly going to be booking again in the future 😀
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!
Breakfast was tasty and the location in Tain was excellent but the best part was our hosts. They were super friendly and even did our laundry while we were gone on an excursion.
Room was comfortable, a little basic but very clean. Catering in the restaurant was superb. Although we did not have dinner in the hotel, the breakfasts were outstanding.
Everything was fine in house , beds comfy kitchen had Everything you would need. The hotel across the road serves lovely food all done by the owners will be back
