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.

    Quiet area with several options for food and drink.

    Quiet area with several options for food and drink. Platform 1867 a fun restaurant with good food, friendly staff and lovely outside area. Plenty of shops and petrol stations. We didnt make it to the beach as travelling each day. Great base for North East and West coast. Good road and rail connections.

    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.

    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.

    We had such a great time staying at Vicki’s Den. It was very clean and has a really well stocked kitchen, a huge comfy bed and a good shower. Very quiet location (though a quick drive to Tain, a larger town with supermarkets etc.) with amazing sunsets and stars if you get a clear evening. We stayed for 4 nights and found it a great base to explore places on both the east and west coast of the Highlands!

    Right next to the main road but was quiet at night. The hotel catered for vegan breakfast (with prior warning) so that was greatly appreciated. Breakfast is delivered to the door in a basket, so no hot options. Could have done with real coffee in a cafetiere or similar as the instant in the room was, well, instant coffee! For the price, really can't fault it Also ate there in the evening

    Beautiful old traditional Scottish Hotel. Great stop off on our NC500 trip. Comfy room in a new extention at the back. Public areas are traditional Scottish Baronial style, nice bar and a good breakfast. The owner went out of his way for us to ferry us to an evening meal at the sister hotel in Tain so that we could have a drink which was much appreciated. Good food too and not too pricey.

    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,

    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.

    It was a warm and welcoming hotel and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The person at breakfast was very polite and helpful and he looked after me for the rest of the day. It was a very traumatic time for me but the staff were marvellous, I cannot thank them enough for the support, kindness and help they gave me.

    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.
