Each includes a decanter of sherry, sweets, as well as a TV, tea and coffee making facilities and Gilchrist and Soames toiletries. The Tongue serves an extensive breakfast menu. Porridge, fruit, cereals and yoghurts are followed by a choice of cooked Scottish breakfasts.

What people say

There are not many places to choose from to stay when yo get round that northern extreme of Scotland, but the Tongue Hotel doesn't exploit, and is a very good stay and value for money. A room of great comfort. with a welcoming caraffe of sherry. Comfortable bar and good food in the efficient but relaxed restaurant. The staff very welcoming. Hotel only takes cash ,but there is a cash machine in the hotel.
all reviews » The most luxurious, beautiful room I have ever stayed in. Furniture coverings, rugs and window treatments were all made of beautiful Scottish wool. Elegant and warm. Scenery from window was astonishing. Loved the decanter of sherry to welcome us to our room, and the wee dram of Scotch offered at breakfast to give pep to your porridge. The hotel is absolutely exceptional!! Photos on the websites do not show how lovely it is! We were treated with complimentary cherry, the room looked super nice and cozy, the bathroom is clean and comfortable. There is nothing more to dream about for perfect stay in the remote area in Scotland, highly recommend to everyone!. We liked the counrty lodge feel to the Tongue Hotel. Our room was warm and had many extra little luxury touches. Robes, sherry, luxury toilettries, luxury en-suite. Highland decor throughout the hotel. The position in the centre of the area of Northern Coast of Scotland; the atmosphere of the building; the view from our room; the food of the restaurant; the free and speed wifi; the cosy lounge. Stunning location. Comfortable, large and warm room. Nice bar and pool room. The hotel made a real effort to meet our dietary requirements (not 100% successful but most hotels won't even try!). The warm welcome by the proprietor, large well appointed and well furnished bedroom, a decanter of sherry in the room and a nice view from the window. The dinner was excellent. Friendly, helpful staff in a lovely building in a good location. You pay a little more than some but it is worth the money. The couple who run it are friendly and welcoming. Staff were excellent, room clean and comfortable and the food was delicious. The attention to detail make this hotel a must for all touring the highlands of Scotland. The staff are very attentive and helpful and the food is exceptional. Very comfortable and relaxing hotel. Very well placed for visiting the north coast. Great service and friendly. Beautiful old hotel with lots of added extras in your room. Amazing views across the bay to the ruin castle from your room. It was exactly what we were looking for in the area.We only had a short time there but we were made to feel at home by the staff. 1 The very large bedroom 2 The general unhurried atmosphere 3 The friendliness of the staff 4 The solidity of the decor. This hotel is an absolute gem in the Scottish Highlands. The staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. A friendly country hotel with clean comfortable rooms and a warm inviting feeling throughout. The location was superb as was the food and service. Room was comfortable and well priced. Warm, welcoming atmosphere and great staff. Good restaurant and excellent breakfast. Staff really worked hard to make you welcome, the welcome sherry a nice touch. Beautiful setting, lovely hotel and meals, owners and staff very welcoming. Excellent location by the sea. Clean comfortable rooms. Lovely staff. Very friendly staff, traditional area hotel and excellent restaurant. Location, above all, but comfortable hotel, with excellent service. The friendliness of the staff and excellent food in the restaurant. Very friendly Nice rooms Sense of history Great location. Lovely room. Amazing views. Good food. beautiful room with great views. Restaurant, size of the room. Clean comfortable hotel. nice room no 2. All of it!. Cozy rooms. All good. comfortable and quite. Not anything to say here. Thank you for a lovely overnight stay. Some lacks of the building: lightening of the bathroom; smell of old carpets; old furniture; wall sockets at the bottom of the wall, not ideal for hair dryers; curtains of the shower not adequate. The breakfast was disappointing, something had gone wrong resulting in slow service and food that had been kept hot for too long and was too hard to eat. nothing. Cover up when you go out midges. 1 The minute bathroom. 2 The food was only middling. Breakfast was spoilt by the use of tinned fruit. Dinner was spoilt by being over fussy , e.g. the scallops were good but had been overtreated with confusing tastes. The focus of good scallops should be good scallops without too much treatment. Nothing. Car parking a little difficult but plenty nearby. Nothing. Dining was not the best. Waitress wasn't the most hospitable. bath room could be better, although it was just about clean. cold bathroom. We were asked to make choice of breakfast for next day. We made the choice. The next day we arrived for breakfast at 8.30. At 9.15 we were served with porridge. At 9.30, after several urgencies we got the English breakfast, which was rather cold and not really filling. Tip for next customers: demand breakfast from the begining :-). All was excellent. The upholstery in the dining room chairs was like a rock. A source of amusement among us. The seat covers could be stuffed with something a little cushier.But the food was great. No lift. prices of evening meals a bit expensive for us.
