The property was stunning, however there was no one to greet you on arrival. The key for the room was left on a dresser by the door as you arrived with your name next to it. The room was beautiful and spotlessly clean, although the room was too hot as the heating was on. The location is on the outskirts of town so you really need to use your car to get to a nearby restaurant. The breakfast was continental and it had everything from fresh berries, fruit, porridge, bread and pastries. There was plenty to fill you up. We spoke briefly with the housekeeper on the morning of departure but again no one to bid you a farewell. Otherwise a perfect property and well worth the money. Would recommend…

No personal touch on arrival or departure.

It is in a great location that requires a short walk to get to the town centre and it isn't too far away from Tesco or the station. The room was very clean and well-maintained by the staff who made me feel welcome when I left or arrived to go into town. You will only ever see the staff from breakfast till around 1400 ish where they clean the rooms. For the rest of the time, there won't be anyone around and a WhatsApp number is provided in case you need assistance.

For me, the only downside was relating to noise. This is for the bedroom door locks that managed to wake me when other guests either returned late or left early. The other is the sound of the bathroom sink taps that can be heard when others use them.

There was a wide choice of continental breakfast with ample fresh fruit etc. No one could complain about the choice and quality . The rooms were excellently appointed and all had free WiFi. We had never stayed on a Guest House before ( always hotels or self catering) and were unexpectedly surprised by the convenience and vfm . If we are in this area again , which we hope to be, we will definitely try to stay here again . Apart from the accommodation it is so excellently situated for touting Northern Scotland .

Nothing we can think of

The room was clean and comfortable. The housekeepers were exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble, and they really went the extra mile. The continental breakfast was delicious with plenty to choose from. Would love to stay again!

Not so much a negative as it didn't really impact us, but the parking can be a little tight out front. Guests with larger vehicles may find this an issue. There are two spots that are straight ahead at the end of the driveway, which would be much easier for larger vehicles.

We stayed at 6 B&Bs during our visit to Scotland. All were good but this was the best and most comfortable. Excellent King-size bed. The only discomfort we experienced (in most of the places we stayed) was the use of a comforter inside a sheet pocket. While this is a great idea, the comforter was too warm and there was no way to adjust it except to throw it off. This resulted in either being hot or cold. All said, a minor complaint.

A lighter covering for the bed. There were additional coverings available for additional warmth, but nothing to sleep cooler.

Lovely building on the edge of town, but it was only a short, pleasant walk back to the High Street. The room was beautiful and large and felt very uplifting. We checked in late and left early and it was all very easy. We stayed here en route to playing golf at Royal Dornoch and it was a pleasant 20 minute drive. Tain itself is a lovely little town as well, so we felt privileged to have stayed here.

The room was very beautifully done and it was clean and comfortable. For check in the key was left at the front door so it was convenient. Well located, short stroll to restaurants and a supermarket if you need one.

Only a very small thing, breakfast was included but there was no staff member monitoring or topping up things. We were the last people to breakfast and so the choice left was not so good.

Excellent well set out breakfast with a wide range of quality fruit, cereals and breads. Particularly attractive were the individual pots of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries kept cool and fresh in a fridge. The room and en suite were spacious and freshly and tastefully decorated. The bed-linen was of very high quality, home-laundered, smooth and soft.

An impersonal welcome. Entry and finding our room was not difficult but the system, while convenient obviously for the owners, was impersonal and could even be a security risk.

The accommodation was really great. Comfortable bed, spacious room with armchairs, large bathroom. Everything perfectly clean. View directly to the sea from the bed.

The breakfast was not very good. There were many types of packaged foods, almost all of them sweet. One type of cheese. The window in the bathroom could not be opened.

Beautiful big room, comfy bed, everything you need, lovely breakfast area with a wide selection of continental breakfast items and a short walk from a great restaurant Platform 1864! We really enjoyed our stay here and was also a super easy check in/out process.
