“2 mature women on tour”

Reviewed 21 May 2013 NEW

My friend and I were travelling around the top of Scotland, we had arrived to previous day at Inverness, and had driven to see John O'Groats and were looking for a place to stay. We had called in several places along the way, which left a lot to be desired. But we were fasinated by the name of Tongue. So... More

“Great place to stay”

I had a two night stay in April 2013 whilst on a solo motorbike tour of highlands. I found the hotel to be excellent due to many things, friendly staff, great food, clean spacious room with a great view. Overall it was the staff who made it memorable due to their welcoming and engaging style. Plenty to see and do... More

Thank you for such a great review! It's lovely to receive comments about how friendly our staff are, we take great pride in running a happy ship! The Ben is definitely a perfect base for a motorbike tour with incredible roads and unrivaled views. Hopefully we will see you again sometime. More

“Great establishment in a stunning location”

Reviewed 6 May 2013 via mobile

Stayed here for one night whilst touring northern Scotland. Twin room had a double and a single bed and its own substantial bathroom rather than your typical ensuite, very nicely presented. Lovely food from the bar menu, bar also featured pool table and substantial malt whisky selection. Fabulous breakfast from the restaurant with stunning views of the local landscape. Staff... More

Thank you for such a glowing review! We're very lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world, it would be hard to beat the view from our dining room! We look forward to seeing you again. More

“Good food and great service”

Reviewed 22 April 2013

We stopped by for lunch after a walk up to the castle in Tongue. The service was excellent and even though it was a pretty busy Friday lunchtime, Fergus the barman / waiter had everything under control and was running a very smooth front of house operation pretty much single-handedly. The food was mainly pub staples and perfectly good -... More

Thank you for your feedback, Fergus is delighted at the special mention! We aim to provide excellent service to everyone who passes through our door, whether it's for an overnight stay, a lunch stop, or just a quick coffee. More

We stayed here overnight and wished we could have stayed longer. We ate in the bar twice and on both occasions had a lovely home cooked meal. There were a good selection of local beers and the log fire created a lovely welcome along with the local people in the bar who were welcoming and the staff brilliant. Our room... More

Reviewed 2 April 2013

Just had a one night stay over Easter here and thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality at the hotel. The rooms have been well refurbished, and are nice and warm which was a welcome given the frosty Easter just experienced. We had booked one of the superior rooms, which is worth the wee bit extra to appreciate the views especially if you... More

“Very comfortable and welcoming”

Reviewed 1 November 2012 via mobile

Tasty home-cooking, excellent breakfasts, and comfortable beds made this an ideal base from which to explore the north coast of Scotland. A good selection of maps and guide books in the lounge gave us some different ideas on what to see and where to go

Very pleased you hear you enjoyed your stay and our information helped you to make the most of your visit. More
