Morangie House Hotel Garden Restaurant in Highland

This is Fawlty Towers style, 1970s decor, peculiar staff, the carpets and wall paper are terrible. The food was very good. The hotel appeared to open when it felt like it.

Dinner, tea, coffee, weird place, outdated decor like the 70s, over priced food but fairly nice. We were turned away for afternoon tea due to cleaning.

Ресторан посоветовали в отеле. Сервис средний, в целом нормально, но забыли дать ложку к супу. Блюда национальные, много что в кляре (рыба, креветки, сыр), разнообразия особо нет. Много овощей.

Beautiful setting of a hotel. Loved the inside of the place. The food was not a good value at all and was just average. 20 GBP for a single not that great fish and the chips were OK. Was the most overpriced place we ahve eaten at in 10 days in Scotland. Would not return.

A charming old hotel within walking distance of the centre of Tain. Plenty of parking, lovely meals, room full of character. One very minor grumble: background music in public areas seemed a bit unnecessary and could have been a bit quieter...

The staff at this hotel are extremely friendly and service orientated and we were well looked after. The hotel is clean and comfortable and the food was basic, well cooked and tasty. It appears that the hotel has enjoyed better times. A lovely building that has been extended unsympathetically, culminating in the terrace at the front, with unkempt grounds and parking don’t do the staff’s efforts justice.

We arrived for one night with 2 dogs on our way toOrkney. Felt that an additional £30 for the dogs was excessive, usually charged £20. The serving staff were wonderful, friendly, receptive but a bar meal was not what we expected. The total for a starter, pizza and 2 ice creams, a bottle plus two glasses of wine , (house wine) and a whisky was£109.99, with room cost of £140 an over expensive night in a second rate hotel.Breakfast was mediocre in the extreme.

Gorgeous building, very traditional wooden panelled bar, lovely staff, great food. Outdoor area for dogs or a beer. Toilet's are a 10 for me, me ole Mother ayee said "you can judge a place on its cloakroom"!

Service was absolutely excellent and very polite and friendly. Steak and ale pie was very tasty, served piping hot with chunks of steak and hand cut chips. Margarita Pizza was also delicious and stone baked. Aberdeen Angus burger was also good and home made. Roast beef however, was ordinary with roast potatoes., Yorkshire pudding and a few vegetables.Sticky toffee pudding was light and served with ice cream. Milk chocolate cheesecake was also great. Government eat out scheme made this £76 so a very good family meaL for 6 people.

I was here on business and first week room 22, second week room 5 . Room 22 was in annex and was very quite but slightly dated however very comfortable. Room 5 is above entrance and pretty noisy with doors banging etc, and the bathroom smells fusty. Showers in both rooms we’re dismal will very low water throughput but both had baths, meals and breakfast is very good and staff very nice and friendly.

this hotel was used by royals under ownership of Mr & Mrs Wynne, I would hesitate to expect them to return now! Although the food was excellent with a great choice on the menu, that is all I would recommend, the oldest member of staff did not greet, speak or say goodbye to us at anytime she made us feel most uncomfortable. The grounds were overrun and the entrance to the hotel was littered with cigarettes ends the flower pots full of weeds and dirty. The whole place had a feel of neglect and would suggest a deep clean to fresh interior

In der schönen Atmosphäre des Morangiehauses findet sich neben dem Hotel auch ein Restaurant nebst Bar mit Barmenue. Die Atmosphäre ist einmalig, der Service sehr gut und das Essen einfach toll. Dabei bleiben die Preise sehr fair.

After 9 years of almost weekly evening meetings at the Morangie, the Rotary Club of Tain and Easter Ross decided to change the nature of meetings in order to outreach to our communities and this means some lunchtime and some evening meetings at a variety of venues. Over the last 9 years John and his staff have given us excellent service and looked after us incredibly well. We would like to thank them and wish them well in the future.

Went through the menu as stayed 5 nights.STARTERSCrayfish and prawn cocktail - excellent Tempura prawns - excellentScotch egg,haggis and black pudding - not badMAINS Sirloin steak - very goodChicken breast stuffed with haggis - acceptablePAN fried salmon - excellentThai curry - very goodCheese board came with soggy assorted crackers- so requested oatcakes and it was excellentchicken breast stuffed with haggis,Pan fie

Enjoyed extremely good food and friendly service during our first two visits - one a Sunday lunch carvery, the other a dinner with friends. Can’t fault the quality of the menu or of the serving staff (although in the bar restaurant area my preference would be for the large and rather incongruous flat screen tv on the wall to be switched off during meal times). But we will be back again very soon with family staying for Xmas and hope that a table with a scenic window in the main restaurant will be far better than sitting under the bar tv!

Family Birthday Lunch would of given 4 stars as the food, service and value for money was all good the roast potatoes tasted like they where not that fresh and crispy but you got a good portion of meat served by a chirpy pleasant Chef plenty of sides in nice surroundings but heres the but £6.40 for a pint of lager i had 2 put on the bill lol this is not London surely thats the most expensive pint in Scotland put a spoiler on a nice experience.

Wir waren im August 2018 zwei Nächte im Morangie Hotel in Tain; es war sehr enttäuschend. Die Beschreibung entsprach keineswegs der Realität. Alles ist wirklich sehr abgewohnt und etwas schmuddelig. Die Außenanlage war total ungepflegt und total vernachlässigt. Im Zimmer lagen tote Spinnen, in den Kleiderschrank hätte ich nichts eingeräumt, die Fenster waren schon lange nicht mehr geputzt worden. Das Frühstück war äußerst lieblos angeruchtet mit verpackten Croissants, kleinen Käsestücken in Folie oder Dosenobst. Wir würden das Hotel nicht weiter empfehlen.

5 of us really enjoyed our meal here and the Turkish chef - Orkun - is a real star -- his personal front-of-house attention both before and after our meal was great and hugely appreciated by us, and his food was brilliant. Service from the other staff was also very good.Two disappointments - one, that the Restaurant, was very quiet for a Thursday night, so lacked atmosphere; and secondly, we don't understand the very down-market signs in the grounds advertising their food offering -- totally out of keeping with the general style of this Hotel.

Staff accommodated me arriving a few mins before last orders, and gave a choice of eating in restaurant or bar, so chose the bar. Food was lovely ( goats cheese tart) as was service.

Service was top notch, food excellent and room large and comfy, the decor in the bathroom is a little dated but everything was clean and functioning. Would recommend to anyone.

No kerb appeal. Grounds /gardens shamefully neglected. Front entrance poorly maintained with badly chipped door paintwork which was also filthy with dirty fingerprints. Reception area tired with absolutely filthy carpets. Whole place badly in need of maintenance & a decent clean. Staff a little disengaged (& what's with the bizarre aprons?) although most of the younger staff were pleasant. Food...like the decor, was tired - not totally unpleasant, but nothing special. However - the most memorable part of our visit has to be the overwhelming stench of sewage in the dining room.

We took the grilled salmon and the lentils burger. Both excellent and at a reasonable price. Good, helpful service completed the experience. Well worth a visit.

Last time we visited Morangie House for lunch the Restaurant Manager seemed reluctant to accommodate us. Thinking it was a one off experience, I persuaded my husband to return today, again for lunch - bad mistake! We arrived at 1.30pm and were grudgingly given a table by the (I assume) restaurant manager. Although it is mainly a self service Sunday carvery we were told by her that we would have to wait 7 minutes. I asked if we could have a drink and was informed that I was already told we would have to wait! Chastened I sat down! I have to point out that it wasn’t all that busy. With some trepidation, after 7 minutes with not the slightest attention from staff, we helped ourselves to starters and after eating them, my husband finally gave up and went in search of a drink. The very nice lady at the bar brought us our drinks. Throughout our meal the restaurant manager passed by our table attending to other diners and enquiring if everything was alright and replenishing drinks, never once looking our way until admittedly she gave us spoons for our dessert. The chef serving the roasts was very pleasant and helpful it has to be said. However, we ate our very nice meal as quickly as we could and departed feeling very much like second class citizens.

I went for dinner in March 2018 with some friends, and the first impression was very disconcerting. As you enter the car park you are confronted with strings of blinking LED lights, suggesting a downmarket carvery rather than a restaurant. The reception area was pleasant though with attractive traditional touches, but on entering the restaurant we were shown to a table where I was again faced with strings of flashing blue LED lights festooned along a bar. This is a pretty unpleasant environment in which to dine, and the management clearly need to decide on their market position. The food itself was good and the wine list perfectly adequate as well as reasonably priced, but the service, although friendly, was a bit amateurish - for example I was not offered the opportunity to taste the wine but the bottle was just opened and put on the table, and after the meal it was very hard work to attract the attention of the waiter or waitress to get the bill.

De overall experience was geweldig: dineren in een prachtig landhuis, met 12 gasten aan één lange tafel, prachtig gedekt. Het 5-gangen menu was niet top, maar het is een ding, dat je een keer gedaan moet hebben. Erg vriendelijke bediening, vrolijk en attent. Alles was erop gericht het de gasten naar de zin te maken.

We booked christmas dinner again this year as we have done many years previously. Well what can i say the service was GREAT! The food as good as we remember. The Atmosphere Nicely balanced between festive & comfortable. See you all again next year to do it again if i can book time off. Everything Perfect as always. keep up the good work.

First class all the way - the location, the service, the food, the ambiance - oh, did I mention the food? The recipes were innovative and delicious and our server was knowledgeable on which wines to suggest. We are looking forward to our next visit!

Nice setting great rooms food good really friendly staff relaxing atmosphere would stay here again A1

My husband played golf at Dornoch golf course while I visited Tain. The Morangie Hotel has a lot of character about the place. Quaint , old fashioned but provides the necessary. Mod cons we need such as hairdryers and wifi, TVs etc. Only downside wifi only available in residents lounge, and reception areas. Nice bar and as residents the night porter will serve you drinks after hours. Food was lovely and well presented. Staff very cheerful, friendly and helpful. Some areas were a little worn however this we felt added to the charm of the place with its historical photos and old Jacobite sword and various Scottish shields. We loved the place, very relaxing break. Full Scottish breakfast of bacon, tomatoes, beans, haggis , black pudding , and potato scone. Kippers and poached egg ...... lovely!

abbiamo cenato nel ristorante dell'hotel dova alloggiavamo perché siamo arrivati tardi e stanchi della giornata ci siamo fermati in albergo. la sala è accogliente e ben apparecchiata.Pare di essere nella Scozia dell'800. Il personale è gentile e disponibile. Abbiamo preso pié di manzo e hamburger con patatine. il pié di manzo è uno spezzatino in umido servito in una zuppiera con un coperchio di pasta sfoglia. Per finire un dolce al cioccolato con gelato alla crema. queste le valutazioni: Locale 4/servizio 4/menu 3/prezzo 4.

Dormendo in questa struttura la prima sera abbiamo provato il ristorante interno. Abbiamo mangiato due beef Burger, una tempura prawns,...

Had a family Sunday lunch here a few weeks ago and the food was truly awful. Starters were OK but nothing special. The carvery option for main courses included pork, beef, chicken and salmon - I had the beef which was hard to distinguish from shoe leather and the Yorkshire puddings were probably made of concrete! Even my daughter's salmon was dry. No obvious vegetarian option for one of our party either.

We visited while on holiday in the area - 4 adults and 2 children. The 3 course carvery served was delicious. There was a wide range of meats to choose from and a sweet trolley to die for. The food was all top quality. My only concern was that the range of vegetables was quite limited. I would have preferred lots of green veg in addition. Overall it was superb and we will be back again.

La comida fabulosa, menú y buen servicio. Un poco caro para algunos, pero vale la pena. Un personal atento y una buena selección de vinos para elegir.

Excelente carta, con una selección muy amplia en la pizarra. Buena relación calidad-precio. Cocina casera. Bien hecho. Acogedor y eficiente personal.

We had a meal here as it was the closest restaurant to our guest house. We were given the choice of a table in the bar or conservatory dining room and decided on the bar.The bar has stained glass windows from the original build of the hotel and it is a cosy room to have a meal in.We were offered a printed menu and there was a board with the daily dishes on. Jackie had Fish Pie and I had Gammon with chips, mushrooms, tomatoes and salad. Both tasted good and the gammon is a good choice if you are hungry. The star of the meal was their take on Eton Mess which we shared and was one of the best we have had. With a bottle of sparkling water and a glass of stout the bill came to £43.Throughout the meal the staff were friendly and helpful

We visited the hotel and restaurant to attend a meeting of the local Rotary club. Our ham steaks were tasty and abundant and the hot soup and prawn cocktail offerings were flavorful.

Fabulous three course buffet, well presented, served and perfectly cooked by the young chef. Pleasant conservatory dining room.

Food was not the best and inconsistent. The rooms were reasonably comfortable and quiet. The facilities were out of date and not in keeping with the standards expected by guests.

Outstanding food and service at this restaurant. Good quality scottish cuisine with a good variety on the menu. Great wine list. Lovely atmosphere and helpful staff.

Food was excellent raved about the steak cooked to perfection give it a try not overpriced either and decent children's menu all children made welcome which is hard to get a restaurant who goes the extra mile to welcome under 12 s oh and bye the way sticky toffee pudding to die for ☺️

This was the nearest place to eat from where we stayed & on a cold rainy night we didn't want to walk any further. Exterior looked nice in the dark but the longish drive was in need of some attention. Restaurant was big & felt a bit cold with little atmosphere - we were the only couple in. Food was ok but staff were doubling up serving the bar are which was busy so we had to stand awhile at the restaurant bar waiting to pay -not a big issue but took the shine off the previous attentiveness. I would imagine there would be better choices for eating.

Second time I've booked Sunday carvery lunch here. The restaurant was busy with all the staff doing a great job. Reception, bar and serving staff did an excellent job. The food was fantastic as usual. Our party was well catered for and we will certainly book a return visit.

We visited this lovely old hotel on a Saturday lunch time. The surroundings were lovely and the restaurant was very smart. Excellent staff. They have an extensive menu and people who eat meat or fish are very well catered for. The single choice for vegetarians was a cheese salad! Pretty disgraceful in this day and age. The food was nice and tasty but the lack of choice for vegetarians was very poor and for this reason we will not be returning.

Me and my partner were enjoying this beautiful Scottish corner when found this adorable spot, went in for a lunch that we´ll never forget! The place itself is lovely, and the staff can´t be nicer. We tried something from the local cuisine, and everything was exquisite, well presented, and the portions so abundant we could´t finish it all! can´t wait to come back.

Popped in with no reservation, no problems getting a table, was pretty quiet. Nice polite staff, really good steak, (medium, exactly as ordered), excellent chicken pie, veggies, salad, fries, table water, and "morangie mess" for pud. Nice Merlot on the wine list. All in all, a nice evening, pretty cheap food, was tempted to stay for a few drams because the bar looked so cosy, but driving tomorrow, early night in our guest house called.Would definitely come back for dinner on our trip next year.

Had lunch here and it was substantial and great value for money. The hotel is on the main road into Tain so easy to find as its straight across the road from Aldi supermarket

Places all over the UK have Sunday Roasts called a Carvery. Morangie House's is one of the best and is priced at great value. A three-course meal including soup/starter, a choice of main courses (including roast beef, roast pork, honey-baked ham, and salmon), plus a wide selection of desserts costs only 13.50£. I definitely recommend it if you are in the Tain/Dornoch area.

I ordered my steak rare and, if anything, it was well done. When I was asked if all was well I pointed out that the steak was overcooked. The waitress took it away and cam back with a fresh one and the chef's apologies. Chunky chips were ok.

Disappointing evening meal when passing through Tain and desperate for Dinner. The desperation was reason enough to finish the food without complaint but seriously overpriced for the quality. Haggis stuffed chicken breast came with mashed potatoes that had a 'crust' on it, so must have been sitting around for a while. Roasted vegetables a mix of mushy and uncooked onion. Staff friendly enough but somewhat confused and as somebody else pointed out dressed in a mix of casual clothing that makes it hard to identify them as staff to start with. We are usually relaxed and easygoing but this will be remembered as a pricey and somewhat strange eating experience.

Ive been visiting this establishment since I was a child, it was always the place to go for a special occasion. Expensive, but well worth it. However I think it may have changed hands. Staff are dressed casually (they used to wear nice smart uniforms), the service is not what you expect from the price you pay, and the food was - OK. Standards have dropped.We were seated just inside the entrance to the conservatory, I was looking into the reception, I could see very messy wiring around the entrance doorway which really annoyed me as I could have done a better job myself - in fact my 11 yr old could have. For such a beautiful building there is a lack of attention to detail. After we had ordered our food we could hear other diners being shown the specials board and wine list - why were we not shown the specials board and wine list? Steak was not cooked as ordered. Very disappointed, wish we had just gone to the Tall Pines a few miles north, would have cost half of this.

Very straight forward check in earlier on, good value restaurant with excellent service, just good all round

If you like good quality of food and large portions visit this hotel for a bar meal. Staff are very friendly and helpful. They have a great variety of choices from fish to burgers. I took a starter but struggled to finish my main course but the male members of our party did not have this problem.

On a 3 night stay we had breakfast and dinner here. Breakfast is first class with a choice of continental or full Scottish. Plenty of tea and toast supplied on request. I had a cooked breakfast every morning and it was plentiful and tasty. We also had dinner, with a good choice of food. No complaints whatsoever.

The quality of our food was superb and very fairly priced. Will be back. If any faults the entrance to the hotel requires a bit of tidying up.

Nous avons passé la nuit à cet hôtel, et nous avions déjà diner avant d'arriver. Nous avons regretté , car ici la nourriture est appétissante et excellente. Nous avons vu le menu et les gens qui dînaient sur place se régalaient. Au matin nous avons pris le petit déjeuner, tout y était parfais ! Des oeufs du bacon des toasts de la confiture du fromage, des croissants , des fruits des céréales, tout Y est.

We had such a wonderful meal but prior to that drinks for happy hour!! My fish was fresh n my family had ordered the specials that night which they enjoyed ! There was no need to go out for a local fare as the restaurant definitely provided fine dining at its best ! And breakfast was provided early n it was a grand affair too! Brilliant !

Nous avons passé de bons moments dans cet hôtel, notre chambre était très grande, le dîner avec des amis, de qualité, et le petit déjeuner très correct. De plus le personnel est très accueillant et très souriant.

We visited the namesake hotel for your stay, after the Western Iigilants before returning to Edinburgh. We chose to try the hotel food and not regret it. First the staff in the way of thy guarantees a good dinner and then his kindness leads you to the restaurant. Nothing is a coincidence . After ordering, the service was very high, and the dishes were amazing. My son told us that ate the best Stroganoff ever ate. It was an excellent, quiet evening that the family enjoyed. Breakfast was amazing and something very special way served. I wish to visit this restaurant again.

Dieses Hotel in der Nähe der Glenmorangie Detillery gefiel uns.Das Essen war gut und die Auswahl an Malt Whiskies war entsprechend.Das einzige was uns nicht gefiel, war, dass das Personal manchmal etwas unprofessionell war.

Came here on New Year's Eve with family and friends there were 18 of us and everything was perfect from start to finish food was absolutely amazing no delays and staff were very accommodating and very pleasant. Came here last year but just 4 of us thought we would do it again and more joined us after this evening we will certainly do it again totally made our night.so thank you all so much for all your help. We will back.

I went with my wife and mother in law for Christmas Dinner in the Morangie. This was a superb dining experience from start to finish. Prompt service by a friendly waitress. A lovely beautifully decorated dining room with tables well spread out. There was a five course menu. Canapés followed by a good choice of starters.The main course had In addition to three items of roasts from the carvery, other choices that could be ordered from the kitchen. There were plenty of the usual seasonal extras, chipolatas,stuffing, bread sauce plus vegetables. A good choice of sweets were available. The Christmas Pudding was scrumptious. Coffee and petit fours were next on the menu.The waitresses looked after us well and the service was first class.The meal cost £59.95 per head with over eighties diners paying £27.95. This was good value for a Christmas Day meal.It will be probably ten months before anyone is thinking about booking a 2016 Christmas Dinner but I would highly recommend the Morangie House Hotel for next years Festive Fayre.

Stayed at the hotel for 2 nights. The hotel could do with a little cosmetic renovations but had a nice big room. Dinner at the restaurant was very nice. Fresh and tasty considering it was off season. Staff was friendly. Would stay there again.

Abbiamo soggiornato qui per due notti, a detta dei proprietari ci è stata assegnata la camera migliore..molto ampia con arredamento retrò suggestivo, ma, a mio parere, avrebbe bisogno di essere rimodernata (ad es. vasca idromassaggio molto vecchia e rumorosa). La cucina è buona, anche se la colazione è un pò limitata rispetto ad altri hotel..Nel complesso, edificio molto caratteristico e tutto sommato lo consiglio!

We dined in here whilst staying in the hotel.The main restaurant wasn't actually open but the roaring log fire in the bar, where we did eat, was ample compensation.With hinsight we should have made a reservation, (so book ahead) we had to wait for a table but it was well worth the wait, the food was excellent, as was the service.

I recently had the opportunity to have dinner with 2 friends. I had the warm chicken Caesar salad. It came with chips, potato salad, coleslaw and a baguette. Lots of food. The staff were also friendly. This is a mid range restaurant.

Food was excellent. My only complaint would be that the meals were rather large. Fresh locally sourced ingredients.

Very good restaurant, nice and bright, very welcoming. Extensive menu and good food fairly priced. Staff were very nice

Six of us attended for sunday lunch on the 30 Aug- buffet type meal offering roast chicken, ham or beef and usual trimmings. Starters are also available and desserts .To begin, service was awful, sullen young woman taking drinks order was downright rude, secondly, food was awful, cold potatoes, cold veg and the beef as tough as old boots!!! Worse of all, 3 of us had prawn cocktail to start and we were all ill within hours - @ I mean ill, sickness, diarrhoea! ! Ive asked my partner to call the restaurant to complain - which I would do but have been ill in bed since!!! Its a busy restaurant but I reckon that wont last if food and service remain at the diabolical standard we experienced !!

Overnight stay at The Morangie House Hotel, which was a return visit. Rooms clean and comfortable, service very good. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choices and good quality. Checking in was easy, staff friendly and efficient. Did'nt have evening meal as had something pre booked but restaurant was busy when we arrived!! Good stay!

Enjoyed a cravery evening meal here a part of a classic car group touring Scotland.selection of starter & sweets in particular was excellent.

Came here with family, 4 of us in total. Two of the party ordered Tempura King Prawns. They had more 'batter' on than cod from a fish and chip shop which was over done, this left the prawns dry and over cooked. The rest of the food was lovely and we all had 3 courses each. When it came to complaining we were told that because some of it had been eaten we would only get 10% off the prawns which were just shy of £15 each! Not happy with this we spoke to the owner Mr Shearer. To say he was condescending and trying to be manipulative is an understatement. It was eventually agreed that we wouldn't have to pay for the two prawn starters but it was through gritted teeth. Have family who live nearby and will not return.

We had quite good lunch in this restaurant. The milieu is beautiful and the service is very professional and friendly. Anyway, the lunch was quite basic but good. The pizza was the best one, but our baquettes with chips were too big portions. Afterwards I realised that I had ordered ham, pineapple, cheese baquette but there was tomato instead of pineapple.

Was here with a couple of friends for dinner as we thought the hotel looked amazing from outside. However, we were let down by the food and the service. The salmon salad was what I had. Local produce or not, the salad was stale, lacked appearance and the salmon was frugal and dry. Really disappointing considering the high prices charged. My two friends both had to settle for fish and chips as the menu is very pretentious. Suitable for middle class tourists but definitely not locals or families. The service from the younger staff was efficient but the older workers made no effort to appear happy or professional. There are better restaurants in the area that cost less and offer higher quality service.

Great to return to this restaurant after a number of years and even though ownership has changed in that time the quality of the food is still as good as the last time we dined there. The service is excellent and the quality of the food and range on the menu is excellent, thoroughly recommend this restaurant if in the area.

Very friendly staff. Is incredible how many sweets in the carvery of Sunday, Was dificult to decide , I wanted to eat all. The pork is my favorite and the pate home made delicious.

The choice and quality of the food was very good. All staff were very friendly, pleasant and efficient. The price of £14.95 for a 3 course Sunday carvery lunch was good value, especially with a reduction to £12.50 for the over 65s!

food is delicious,you would just love to taste everything.Tasty and delicious and well prepared.The only thing i didn't like is the mushroom soup,would be nice to use a a nice mushroom not fried mushrooms on top of the soup.

The staff on arrival were friendly however despite having 2 young.children with us we were not offered a children's menu. The 2 boys had the chicken burger each and my friend and I had the cheeseburger. The food was very nice but the portions for.the children were massive and at £13.95 each overpriced and was a waste of money and food as they couldn't eat a quarter of it. The hotel obviously is not interested in catering for families or should offer alternatives for smaller portions or a proper child's menu. I certainly won't be back nor would in recommend it to anyone

5 of us enjoyed Christmas lunch here today. We found the staff very welcoming and friendly as they took our coats, showed us to the table and explained the semi-buffet style set up.Drinks were quickly ordered and delivered (there was an error with the wine, in our favour though) and we were able to go to the serving area for starters.The cold fish platter was very popular and tasty, though the previous customers to us had left the salmon looking a little mashed... The serving staff were very friendly considering it was their Christmas Day shift, and we were encourage to help ourselves to what we wanted.The carvery area, though small, was quick to serve people and portions were generous. There was a nice selection of accompaniments to my roast beef and lamb, and plenty of gravy and bread sauce. I particularly enjoyed the veg which still had plenty of bite.Desserts were sensible sized, and delicious. Nobody in our party found fault with the food, and we received just the right amount of attention and chat from serving staff.Overall we were pleased with the welcome and food at the Morangie. The many free-range, squawking children roaming the hotel, while not the Morangie's fault, certainly gave the event that taste of home...

Called today for 3 course carvery Price was £15pp a reduction of £2.50 for senior citizens.Help yourself soup/roll very niceA section of starter if you don't want soup prawn cocktail egg mayo salad Main beef pork gammon 2 slices also swede mash roasties gravy over done yorkies lolThey also did a soufflé chese for my veggie daughter.Deserts were the best. I had meringue but also available chocolate torte fruit salad trifle tiramisu,And a couple of other cakes/custard.Seemed very popular would of loved hot plates though.

Stayed here for one night in a superior double room. Clean and comfortable if not a little out dated. Tea and coffee making facilities in room but seemed to be a stale smell of smoke lingering and the Bathroom was a little past its best for a superior room. However towels and linen were clean and fresh.Breakfast was a little sparce and had to wait a while for cooked breakfast but did cater for gluten free diet. A few of the other guests did spoil breakfast a little with poor manners and no staff on hand to deal with it at the time. Staff could have been more visible at breakfast and self serve choices needed topped up on our arrival but no one seemed do do this quickly. A touch expensive for the facilities and service.

More light salads on the menu would be nice in summer too. Chef needs to watch trends away from fries and huge quantities.

Visited with a friend. We hadn't booked in advance as it was a Tuesday evening. We were asked when we arrived if we had booked. When I said no , it seemed to be a problem. However we were shown into the near deserted dining room. It didn't get any busier. The food was absolutely first class. We both had starters which were delicious. My friend had fish and he raved about it. My gammon steak was perfection. The staff were young , a bit reserved but very efficient. Wholly recommended.

We biked from Lairg and this was the frst place where we could get lunch. Yes, we could have chosen a place with self service, french fried smell in the corners and no white tablecloth and deccent nappies. We stopped here, as maybe a little off the mainstream guest; we were hungry, sweatty, hair in loops 'cause the crash helmets, cyckle shorts etc, but we got served. 25 inches baguettes have I hardly seen before. Good. Nice soup, Tea, cakes for desert: Good service, reasonable prices. You have to pay a little for the surrondings and tablecloths, though! Yes, again please.

Family meal and cannot complain about a thing. Food and atmosphere were good, staff attentive and adults and children were satisfied. Portions were large, so can't comment on the desserts, but if in Tain this should be on your list.

Came here for a family lunch as we had family up from Glasgow for the week. However, on arrival we received a very cold reception as we happened to arrive at the same time as a group of well-to-do men therefore we obviously weren't seen as priority customers. The menu was very limited for children as the majority of the food was quite pretentious and we also had to ask for a children's menu despite our group consisting of four very young kids. It was a relatively old woman who dealt with us. She certainly needs to improve on her people skills as her manner was rude and she was very abrupt with us. A younger waitress came along to us later who was much more friendlier. However, the overall atmosphere was too negative and the mentality of the staff was awful therefore we left after our drinks and went to the Sunflower Cafe. It's worrying how we got a better reception from the staff in a wee local cafe than we did at a prestigious establishment like the Morangie. Would never recommend anywhere that has staff who don't care about their customers.

This is a charming and traditional Highland hotel. Open fires, stags heads and good old fashioned service. This is exactly what I like, if you want chrome, glass and televisions showing sport - then this is not for you. Excellent food and lots of it. A traditional, but sophisticated menu using fresh ingredients and lovely friendly staff. Very relaxing indeed when you have a busy life.

went Sunday night, Place was deserted. All the appetizers, main courses, and deserts were excellent. Service was slow, I had to go ask for the check.

In Tain with my husband as a base for visiting whisky distilleries & playing golf. Both in our forties, we enjoy travelling & expect great service, good food & drinkable wine! Outward appearance of the hotel may be a bit off putting & inside it's anything but modern - more quirky, shabby chic! So if your looking for an ultra modern deluxe hotel with top class facilities - this is not the place!For us, it was ideal. Throughout our stay the staff, mostly very young, we're efficient, friendly & helpful without being intrusive.After playing golf & visiting distilleries, it was a real pleasure to be greeted by a friendly face in the bar & relax with a drink in the lounge area. The room was spacious & clean & served our purposes. We had dinner twice in the very pleasant dining room & the food was well cooked & presented, well priced & very well portioned - too much for my husband & I but that is NOT a complaint!Minor things could have been better - the shower, lack of wine available but still on the wine list, (slightly annoying ordering 3 times before finally getting one they had!) & giving guests a breakfast menu but not actually providing most of the buffet - the latter points probably due to it being reasonably early in the season but easily avoided if removed from the menu until available.There is nothing particularly 'special' about this hotel but the staff made us feel welcome & valued & throughout our stay we felt relaxed & comfortable - we would definitely stay again & highly recommend it as a well priced base in Tain.

Was slightly worried when we entered the hotel as had a 70's look to it. Was really pleasantly surprised. The staff were friendly and attentive. We were given the choice of pre diner drinks in the bar before being taken through to our table. Mains of battered haddock and chicken stuffed with haggis and wrapped in bacon served with a whisky sauce were very good. The chips were excellent! Two courses with wine and pre drinks came to a good value £25 a head for four.

We were looking for somewhere for a quiet lunch and we found Morangie House just off the A9, handy and pleasantly quiet. Delicious home made mushroom soup and pate. Lovely smoked salmon. Scampi with fries the size of my thighs. All very good with friendly service to boot. We will be back to see if dinner lives up to the service we got for lunch.

Unlike the last review, we were not shown to our table and were left feeling a bit awkward in the bar area. The service seemed lacking -- the young waiting staff appeared hard-working and quite attentive to others but manager appeared ineffective, aimlessly wandering about talking to customers and ignoring our empty plates. The food was acceptable. Nice selection, well presented and quite tasty. I was left unimpressed, though, perhaps due to the service. For a Christmas lunch I expected to feel more full and content. I suppose we were just unlucky because others around us seemed happier.

5 of us went to Morangie House Hotel for our Christmas Day lunch 2013 .We arrived at 13 35 for a table booked at 1 45 . We were taking to our table more or less right away, our drinks order taken .Then were giving the menu to study. Drinks arrived shortly afterwards , After a short time our choices were taken . We a group of 5 people could not fault either the Food or the Service everything was very good .Although the hotel was very busy every one seemed to be very well looked after and would highly recommend .

Die Einrichtung ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen und wenig attraktiv, aber die überschaubare Karte bietet hervorragendes frisches, gut gekochtes Essen auch für Vegetarier und speziell auch für Kinder. Dazu ein leckeres lokales oder internationales Bier oder natürlich eine breite Auswahl von Whisky wie es sich für die Region gehört.

Ordered steak off specials board £25 each this was a treat from my family on holiday.The steak was very over cooked and overpriced. Very disappointed as I live in Tain and do not want to return.Customer service is not that great either except young man behind bar who had lovely manners.

We didn't enjoy our Sunday lunch this time I'm afraid.The service was slow (they were busy to be fair) and the ambiance resembled that of an old folks home. The carvery was medicore - soggy roasts, dry meat and flavourless Bisto gravy with Paxo stuffing. We suspect the trifle was a Birds packet trifle. Apologies if this is not the case, but it really did taste like it. I would prefer to pay more for better food but appreciate I may be in the minority and it could be time to try somewhere different.If you like lots of cheap food, this is the place for you. If, like me, you are happy to pay a bit more for quality, try somewhere else.

We went as a party of 13 for christmas dinner meal and service was not as expected our bill ran to over £800 and we will not be back 3 times we asked for a wine list or bottle of wine and we are still waiting yet the vegatables were very poor, brussels, cauliflower, we never got the sugar snap peas or gratin potatoes that some had they were either raw or severely undercooked definately not al dente, the roast potatoes were okay as was the turkey. The sweets were passable but to be honest I could have made better myself and did for our own boxing day meal. The cheese and biscuits were an extremely sad affair with a fwe bits of cheese but loads of celery matchsticks and very few grapes. So all in all with canapes which were stale at the start and coffee which to be honest was one of the best parts of the meal the Morangie and its staff ripped us off this year and we will not be back. The only reason I have give the atmospher a high score is because we made it for ourselves

Visiting family in nearby Dornoch, decided to go to The Morangie Hotel for our Sunday lunch. I have to say, I was very pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is quite nice (in the conservatory to the front / side of the hotel), and the staff were brilliant. It was a carvery deal with great starters to choose from, and the main courses were excellent with four roasts!. As if that wasn't enough, the sweet / dessert selection was fantastic. All round, it was great, and we would certainly go back when next in the area. In terms of cost, it was about £15 per head for adults, and half price for the kids. Excellent.

We were looking forward to a lovely lunch on christmas day after good food here earlier in the year. The service was fast perhaps a little too fast at times as it seemed as the table was cleared the next course arrived. The food, well they were in such a hurry parts of the starters were forgotten but replaced when pointed out, for the main course we had 3 venison and 1 halibut, the halibut was very good but the venison was over cooked with a bitter sauce even so it was quite tender, the vegatables were very poor, brussels, cauliflower, sugar snap peas and even gratin potatoes were either raw or severely undercooked definately not al dente, the roast potatoes were excellent. The sweets were passable. The cheese and biscuits were an extremely sad affair with four thin strips of cheese and six small oatcakes between the four of us but loads of celery matchsticks and some grapes. So all in all with canapes at the start and coffee to end a luncheon unworthy of the Morangie or Christmas but one of the fastest meals ever served.
