A really comfortable place to stay. Great staff that went about their jobs extremely well. Food was really good and a decent selection of drinks were available at the bar. The room was clean and well decorated as was the rest of the hotel. Its location is easy to find and once there, the lovely view is the first thing that greets you.

Parking is slightly restricted. It worked out fine for me, but the perpendicular parking to the road might put some off, especially if the hotel becomes much busier. I realise there's probably not any other option than the way it is, but like I said, it didn't cause any issue for my stay.

Lovely tradition hotel in a good location, the room was a good size with traditional furniture clean and well presented. Lovely tea and coffee making facilities available with complementary biscuits also complementary bottled water and small spirit drink (nice touch but I didn’t indulge as I don’t like spirits) Room was quiet and the bed was comfortable. Vegetarian breakfast was excellent and the staff very friendly and accommodating.

The available plug socket for the kettle was located behind the heavy bedside cupboard and difficult to get to. Tea, coffee and sugar were provided but no milk was available in the room but only discovered this at 05.30 so didn’t think anyone would be around to provide milk at that time. I had booked to eat at the restaurant and was really looking forward to a nice meal after traveling all day but sadly the vegetarian option was very limited. Although the butternut squash soup and mushrooms risotto was tasty the price was quite expensive for a standard two course meal and glass of wine.

Rooms were very tastefully decorated and huge. They were also spotlessly clean. The staff were very welcoming and professional and a huge shout out to the young Kiwi couple working in the restaurant!

Only criticism was that even tho the restaurant didn't seem that busy, too many of the dinner options weren't available on what is quite a small menu (4 starters, 4 mains). There were also no overly healthy options. I opted for a beetroot risotto to find out it also wasn't available and was replaced with a mushroom risotto. The taste was ok but it was very gluggy and the mushrooms tinned and it's never a good idea to put salad leaves on top of a hot dish. Less is more ... the mackerel pate didn't need the pickled beetroot underneath or the tinned pineapple around the plate, the pate which was delicious was fine just with the crostini and a few leaves.

Convenient on the NC500 route Warm and cosy rooms on arrival, nice bath and shower. Enjoyed the touch of the drawer that had kettle/tea/coffee etc Lovely staff

We didn’t book dinner as we ate before arrival, however did have breakfast included. Cooked breakfast was a bit dry - we didn’t rate the breakfast very much after hearing mixed reviews. Bed was quite uncomfortable (I know this is personal choice) however the headboard was quite sore when trying to lie and watch TV Constant draft coming from under the door (we had to put a towel down to prevent it making our room cold during the night) For the price we paid, considering it was out of season (Feb) I expected more.

Nice hotel, comfortable traditional but modern furnishings. Nice toiletries. Luxurious towels and bedding. Small evening dinner menu but everything we had was delicious and the restaurant staff were very pleasant. Nice pre dinner aperitif in room.

I felt the throw on the bed was worn. The gentlemen who met us on arrival was fine but not overly welcoming, could have been a warmer welcome. We would return and adked for prices but werent allowed to be given prices of booking direct, can only check on website, seemed crazy when we were actually standing in reception

The Tongue Hotel was a welcome oasis after a long day of driving through dreary weather along the NC500. Good sied and well appointed room. Enjoyed a drink at the bar before an excellent dinner in the evening, followed by a nicely prepared full Scottish breakfast the next morning. Also, I inadvertently left behind an article of clothing that the hotel staff returned to me by prepaid post soon after my stay.

The only minor complaint is the lack of window coverings in the bathroom. Not a major problem on an upper floor but something that could be improved.

Staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Room was clean and comfortable. The restaurant food was exceptional, my wife and I shared the goat cheese salad starter which was delicious and more than enough to share. We then had the fish and chips and we think it was the best fish and chips we've ever had. The breakfast porridge was also amazing.

There was no milk in our room and when I asked for some I was told they had run out of milk flasks. I was asked to go down to the breakfast room at 7-30am to fetch some if I wanted morning tea in my room. Not what I'd expect from a hotel of this standard.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Tongue Hotel. After a warm welcome we were shown around the property before being taken to our room. Our room was very spacious and well equipped with everything we could have needed for a lovely stay. The bed was huge and super comfortable, the bath had a view over the fields below and there was a large bathroom with a heated towel rack and enormous fluffy towels. The restaurant was great. The food was delicious and it was very well staffed by very friendly and efficient people. The breakfast was outstanding, so many options on the menu plus fresh, warm pastries and fresh fruit. The hotel will even organise a packed lunch for their guests. We have stayed in some very nice hotels on our way around the NC500 and this is one of my top picks.

Nothing

Most charming staff we came across during our 8 nights of hotel stays, service was impeccable. The rooms felt spacious, the beds had a good size and the bathroom was large and had a bathtub and great toiletries. Parking was easy upon arriving. Both dinner and breakfast was of very high quality.

Most expensive dinner we had during our full 18 days of vacation in Scotland in total, doesn't mean it wasn't worth it ;) Bring earplugs, we could hear snoring from the surrounding rooms (we had our windows open though and probably contributed to the choir ourselves once we fell asleep). Would have liked some screening option in the huge bathroom window (we had a total of four rooms and ours was the only one with a window in the bathroom though).

The room was very clean, well equiped and it was amazing to have 2 sinks! We had an amazing dinner, the staff were all friendly and welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

There wasn't a curtain or blind over the window in the bathroom - there was just a net curtain which is useless when you have the light on. I appreciate that the view was from the road but there are plenty of weird folk who would watch someone in the shower or via the mirror going to the loo so I certainly think you should have a proper blind/curtain over that window.
