AustraliaThis was a great place to stay on our long distance bike tour. We were impressed to be offered locked bike storage and the use of microwave, toaster and kettle to prepare our own evening meal. our host was very helpful and the location in the center of town near Tesco was ideal! Our room was comfortable and spotlessly clean.

United KingdomLovely hosts Clara and Dennis could not have been kinder, and the dining area with the fridge, microwave, toaster etc. for guests' use was really nice. The room was perfect in every way. I'll definitely visit again!

United KingdomLovely bed and breakfast. Tain itself was quiet and lovely. We went to a restaurant called 1864 that is an old train station (this was recommended by our bnb host) very quaint and had nice food. The BnB was very clean and the owner was very helpful. The breakfast was wonderful and there were so many gluten-free options for me! We had a 20 minute walk to the Glenmorangie distillery which was ideal as my partner and I could taste as much whisky and we wanted. The walk does go onto the A9 however there is plenty of space on the one side to walk along and it’s not an overly busy road.

Host Information
9.7
Host review score
Shandwick House has stood in historic Tain since 1859. Now a modern Guest House, offering guests all the comforts you'd expect. We offer plenty of private off-street parking, wifi in every room and a homely atmosphere you don't get in the big Hotel chains. Breakfast is included in the room rates with plenty hot and cold choices available and dietary needs catered for. Located on the famous NC500, close to a number of Golf Courses, beaches, castles and Distilleries, Shandwick House is the perfect choice for work or leisure. Supermarkets are within walking distance and the town centre is just a few minutes walk, giving guests easy access to all the conveniences of the town, but in a peaceful setting. In the afternoon the breakfast room doubles as a lounge and is left open for guests to enjoy. Take your book down or sit by the bay window and watch the world go by or chat to other guests. Dennis, Clara and Alec the Dalmatian look forward to welcoming you to their home and providing you with all you need to enjoy this wonderful area and beyond.
