Great experience

Reviewed By StewC526

I stayed 4 nights at the Royal Hotel Tain and everything about my stay was really good. The staff were excellent, friendly and very helpful, I must mention Ayaz who went out of his way to sort out my booking and during my stay. I have a hearty appetite and breakfast was superb in regard to choice, variety, quality and quantity. I had to leave before breakfast when checking out and I was given a packed lunch which was substantial and well appreciated. The location is perfect and the hotel has traditional Scottish heritage and qualities. Thank you, I will return.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch here. The roast pork was wonderful. Great service and friendly staff. On the walk to the pub we were accompanied by dolphins swimming in the Moray Firth. It doesn't get better than that!!

I haven't visited here for 3 years and now I remember why. Over £6 for a pint is ridiculous. Truly ridiculous. Tired dated decor. Dirty carpets. It's like time has stood still and not in a good way. Food adequate but overpriced like everything else. Definitely won't bother again. I thought they may have made more of an effort to attract customers back after covid but clearly not.

My stay at Mansefield Castle Hotel for 3 nights

Reviewed By Barbara C

Not overly impressed with this establishment. OK for a one night stay but lacking in lots of ways. Firstly the good. Gordon who runs the bar did an excellent job and is so knowledgeable and helpful as we're all the other staff. Service was good. Room was massive, very clean. But strange net curtains on beautiful old windows. Hung on a wire and sides were not cut in a straight line oŕ sewn. Looked awful would not expect to find in any hotel but certainly not this one based on how they describe themselves. Food really was excellent but limited menu which would get a bit boring if staying for a while. No lift that's ok but they offer to carry bags at £5 as shown on their outdated information sheet in room. Really? charge for part of a hotels service on top of room rate. We thought we were getting an executive room with 3 beds a double and a single bed. But it was a double with a sofa bed not made up. Fair enough error along the line somewhere but we were told could not make up sofa bed til next day as housekeeper gone!! Found linen cupboard and made it up ourselves. Huge bathroom with corner jacuzzi bath and a separate corner shower. No doors in middle of shower .... a curtain instead that stuck to you! Hard to get hot water and shower head was damaged and head missing so water was erratic spray. Room cleaned everyday and towels changed. Surprising as we hung our towels up not wanting them changed. Paper cups on tea tray which we refused yo use and asked fir cups ehichvwe got but they jeot disappearing everyday when room cleaned. No glasses in room or bathroom. So we kept having to ask for these and got them no problem but why not give them in the beginning? These are not the standards I would expect of this hotel and given how they advertise themselves. Would I stay again? No. Too expensive for the standard I saw. The devil is in the detail and they don't give it. Terrible standards and totally misguided on what guests should get and what they should be providing. The management are ripping people off. I have run 2 bnbs and offer a better standard than this place.

Canterra Cottage

Lovely Stay in the Cottage

Reviewed By thelonebiker

Both my parents and i stayed in the very new Cottage in the grounds of the B and B. Its a 2 bedroom with a toilet and shower with cooking facilities, a small living room, proch, fridge etc. there is also ample parking. We have been frequent visitors to the area for 40 years and I was visiting to do some local cycling. This was the perfect base with lovely comfy beds and living arrangements which would suit couples or families with up to 2 kids. The kitchen facilities were good for cooking but if you are eating out Tain and Portmahomack are short drives away. The only thing I would be looking for is wifi but we were the first ever guests and there is a good 4g signal in the area and the host was working on getting this installed. Really enjoyed my stay and would love to come back with my wife and daughter, especially at the very reasonable price we paid.

Room for improvement.

The place was run by very young and very inexperienced staff. Room was clean but no better than could be expected. The continental breakfast left on a chair in the corridor outside the room left me wishing they had had proper breakfast service in the resturant.
