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.

Dennis was a great host, as were his dalmatian partners in crime! The guest house was spotlessly clean. The room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast options would suit all tastes, and the facilities allow everyone to have a lovely stay. The location was perfect, with a Tesco very close and the centre of town being an easy walk away. If traveling to Tain by train, the guesthouse is a 5 minute walk away. Having said this, the location is lovely and quiet, and we slept incredibly well. I highly recommend Shandwick House and will definitely stay there again.

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.

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,
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.
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,
Ideal location, staff very friendly and approachable and meals served in hotel were great value for money ,delicious and even though restaurant was busy came very quickly. The apartment we had was comfortable , constant hot water and as it was October very cosy. The kitchen had ample facilities to cover every eventuality and beds comfortable.
This is the second time we have stayed at Carnegie Lodge Hotel, and this time was equally as good as the first. Our room had a large comfy bed, with all the amenities you need. Lovely bathroom with good shower. Our hosts were very welcoming and treat you like an old friend. This place has amazing food, you will not leave hungry. 10/10.
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.
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.
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.
A beautiful hotel with well proportioned rooms. The staff were exceptionally helpful and lovely, they really went above and beyond. Dinner was fantastic and an excellent whisky selection.
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.
