The best restaurants serving British food in Tain and Easter Ross Highland Highlands and Islands

We stayed in the hotel this weekend as a birthday getaway for my husband and decided to eat here as well. The setting is lovely, we started with a whisky tasting with a knowledgeable young lady. Everyone is treated as a group, so we had our tasting together and went through to dine together on one big table. The group style dining was quite noval but very enjoyable. The meal itself was lovely. We had canapes to start then we had soup. This was simply delicious and my husband claimed it was the best soup he'd ever had. The 'fish' course was a slight let down as my husband is allergic to fish. I felt instead of crafting a course for us, they had simply made a fish course and cooked a bit of chicken instead. It just didn't feel like a cohesive dish. The main course of melting beef and pudding of gingerbread Panna cotta was delicious.Our hostess paired whiskies with every course (wine pairing was also on offer) and my husband reports this was done expertly and greatly added to the experience. Finally we all retired to the fireplace for tea and coffee.Highly recommended and we would be back if in the area again.

Das Restaurant ist ein verstecktes, auf den ersten Blick ziemlich unscheinbares Juwel. Ohne einen Hinweis aus dem World Wide Web wären wir sicher nicht darauf gekommen, dass man hier einkehren sollte, wenn man sich in der Umgebung von Tain/Schottland befindet. Im Restaurant hängt an der Wand eine Urkunde: der INVER INN ist bei einem Wettbewerb um die beste Küche der Highlands immerhin bis in die Finalrunde vorgedrungen. Ich hatte einen Fish Pie, der sensationell lecker schmeckte.

Great staff, best place to go in this tiny dull faceless town, nice atmosphere and cosy decor, comfortable with a good menu and friendly

A good, clean honest family run business in Tain. Heather your hostess is great. Bed comfortable, linen clean and fresh, rooms basic but very clean, shower excellent. Food well cooked and a good selection. Breakfast very good to excellent. Value for money 100%! Walls a bit thin, so much so I disturbed my neighbour Becky with my snoring. Sorry Becky! Hope I didn't upset you too much.

Was lovely to find a restaurant that caters for gluten free food. It is in a lovely big centre, which was full of locals (always a good sign). With good views out of the windows. The Mermaid statue is on the beach near here. I enjoyed a gluten free bacon sandwich. A section of their menu is marked as gluten free, have attached a photo. Staff were very welcoming.

They where great guys done a great job on my windows and they cleaned up after them selves I am really please with my wind installation thank guys

Fantastic place with great portions and delicious food the staff are very friendly and helpful will definitely be back

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.

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

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

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.

Disgusting.. Dirty counters, dirty tables not wiped and dishes not cleared from them and dirty floors. Went to womens toilet and was even more disgusting. Toilet roll everwhere, toilets not cleaned, same dust on door hinges that has been there for months. Told one of the cashiers but they didnt seem to be worried about it.. Would definitely not eat in there.. EVER. Also Asda prices have sky rocketed on there essential items. Far more expensive grocery store than any of the others. Will not be rushing back.
