Stayed in the Royal because the usual places I stay at in the area were full, but it was only for one night so I gave it a try. The Staff were friendly and accommodating the room was a reasonable size with all the usual amenities you would expect, some of the decor was a little jaded but the furniture... More

4 for lunch today with 2 joining later and having asked to have the tables together seemed to be a request too far. The attitude was less than welcoming and we felt as though we were a nuisance to the waiting staff. The food was excellent but waiting staff wasn't as helpful as we were led to believe, and when...

Stayed at this hotel while on a business trip to Golspie. Very pleasant and helpful staff and great food. Starter with black pudding and parma ham was to die for. Bedroom was very clean and although the hotel was on the main street it was quiet. The dining room was very busy when I stayed there and if there is... More

I stayed at the Royal for just about 3 months as I was working up North. The friendliness and hospitality made me feel very welcome, especially as there were many nights that I was without colleagues and on my own. Robert and staff will do anything to make your stay an enjoyable one. The evening meals are excellent, and throughout... More

I've stayed at the Royal 4 or 5 times now and am just getting around to posting my first review. What prompted this was the quality of the delicious food I experienced during my last stay, I love mussels so this was the obvious choice for my starter and I am so glad I did. Never before have I tasted... More

Stayed here 2 nights with a group on a highlands tour. Robert and staff went out of their way to accommodate and feed our late arrival. Excellent dinners, can't say enough about them. Breakfasts were pretty standard. Older hotel, but more than made up for with service, including staff gathering on the steps to wave goodbye as our bus left.

We stayed 1 night in this hotel in November 2011. We chose this hotel because of the central location, easy parking and we liked the look of the building. It is an absolute gem, we 100% recommend it. Superb food (best haddock in batter since we had a fish supper in shetland), lovely open fire in the bar, good wifi,... More

We were pleasantly surprised with our two night stay at the Royal last weekend while house hunting in the area. We have visited Tain a couple of times and had lunch at the Royal. We always got the impression it was very friendly with a lot of local people eating there. However, given lots of disappointing experiences at these big... More

My friend and I ended up in Tain by accident and booked into the Royal Hotel. The hotel was more than we expected and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was extraordinarily comfortable and elegant, clean and well stocked. The food was excellent, dinners(and choice of wine) superb and breakfast surpassed expectations. Information on the surrounding area... More
