Love this hotel! The staff was wonderful and everyone was very gracious during our stay. My brother and his wife loved their room and the furnishings - a step back in time. It was like a honeymoon for them. The food in the dining room was delicious especially the duck breast! My sister and I enjoyed our rooms, very comfortable. Would definitely stay there again . thank you to all the staff. We certainly enjoyed our conversations with all of you.

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.

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.
beautifully decorated, extremely functional, wonderful location, very nice owners, efficient check-in (remote). Price-wise - in this location - unbeatable. A brilliant place as a base for the NC500 tour. Additionally, there is a laundry on the premises and a 10-minute road to Tain (shops - Tesco, Lidl, Asda, etc.). If possible, I'll definitely come back! I recommend it - 11/10.
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.
Well appointed spacious room fitted out in period room. Modern well equipped bathroom. Excellent friendly checkin. Restaurant not open in night but they offered chauffeur driven Range Rover car down and back to castles sister hotel.
Breakfast was lovely.
Very comfortable bed.
Shandwick House is great value and an excellent place to stay in Tain. The room was clean and bright and the breakfast was excellent. The host was very approachable and accommodating. The nearby restaurant in the converted train station provided excellent dinners.
The apartment is great with plenty of room and perfectly clean. Host had put some essentials in fridge and cupboards which was brilliant touch.
Having hotel below means you can eat on site too if you don’t fancy cooking but nice kitchen in apartment if you do!
A very friendly and welcoming host. A superb room, nicely furnished, with dual aspect windows and great views. A great breakfast selection. Tain and its close surroundings (Portmahomack and Tarbat Ness lighthouse to name 2) are definitely worth a stop.
The hotel is in the centre of town, it's a lovely old building. There is plenty of parking available. It is clean, comfortable and the owner is very welcoming and friendly. The food is excellent and the bar very well stocked.
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.
The management and staff were very helpful, friendly and efficient. The hotel has a very friendly atmosphere and is well located in the centre of the town. A very good carpark next top the note.
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 😀
