The best restaurants in Tain and Easter Ross Highland Highlands and Islands

Lots of lovely cakes to choose from. Strawberry tarts are by far the best! Much nicer than the Harry Gow ones!!!!! Rolls were fresh and my son loved the biscuit person. Aero slice was not the greatest that I have tasted. Worth a visit if in the area.

Gezellige bar en goed eten. Prijzen voor de whisky's zijn zeer goed. Komen hier graag weer terug. Personeel is zeer vriendelijk.

Really good food and the staff were really nice and friendly, 5 stars.

Tain is rather run down just like the hotel, lack of staff made it worse. Pity, it's an old hotel with minor upgrades. Good when we eventually got it was good. Despite complaining about the none working TV due to aerial problems nothing was done about it. Not recommended.

Golf trip with 15 others. Food and service excellent, rooms large but as with older properties lack of sound proofing. Other than that, most staff very happy to help and very polite. Would recommend if needing to stay in that area.

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.

All the usual predictable baking, mass produced taste to everything, nothing very special as this is a chain and typical bakery that has little competition

Won't be back the owner is so rude . If you pay for drinks in a pub hotel . You expect a thank you. Total anti children our three year old was chatting and we Heard the owners rude comment about him . Also we took her seat . The poor lass who runs hand and foot for this person is so friendly it's the only reason we stayed so long . Won't be back and won't recommend to any of our family and friends that visit the port . Maybe someone will take over the Caledonian and make it a hotel and pub again . We have been visiting the port for 40 years and haven't experienced the unfriendly signal we got from the castle hotel .

This hotel is dated, dirty and damp. We stayed here for 2 nights bed and breakfast, we were not checked in politely, just given our key to No 24. There was a ‘dirty smell’ in the room and the window had been left open which is a good job because it was that dirty you couldn’t see through it. The bedding was adequate, but the TV didn’t work. There were watermarks on the wall from a leak that had not been re painted. The bathroom was dated and had visible signs of damp. There also was an electric towel rail that had black insulation tape wrapped round the electric cable connection, with a PAT test sticker on it dated 2018!!!! You only need portable appliances to be PAT tested! The bar area was not the best and the staff ate their meals at the table in the bar and one of them even regularly took his blood pressure with a portable monitor. We came down for breakfast and were met with an abundance of opened large cereal boxes and uncovered fruit and cheeses which were very tempting to the many flies in the lobby area next to the ‘dining room’. We sat at a table but the carpet was that dirty and sticky the chair stuck to it!!! ….we didn’t eat breakfast!! It was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in the owners have left it to rack and ruin and it’s a shame as it’s a historical building in a nice little town.

A really nice, clean and very lovingly furnished hotel. Has a bit of a castle feel. We were able to spend 2 days here on our way through and felt very, very comfortable. We'll definitely be happy to come back.

excellent food they dont skimp on portions staff very friendly and helpfull this is one of our favourate places to go on a sunday evening prices very good as well

I have never tasted such a vile curry in my life I had a so called chicken tikka masala and my wife had chicken bhuna neither tasted like what it was supposed to taste like I ate 3 mouthful and the rest went in the bin will not be going back

We were offered service earlier in the restaurant or the bar. We were joined by another couple for dinner. We were presented with a “special “ menu and the normal dinner menu . Two of us ordered starters and what we thought was an entree from the “special” menu. However is main turned out to be “3” scallops for £9.95. I could have bought a half lobster for that price. We also requested that the dining bill be divided between the two parties and they refused.

Lovely cafe inside, great service and cuppas. Lovely clean toilet's! Perfect location in the centre of Tain....

Coffee was pretty poor. Only 3 biscuits on offer. Worst thing was the place was FREEZING. Staff were all wearing coats and hats inside. Perhaps problem with heating? If so they should have closed! Or given coffee for free! We left early!
