This charming former Victorian sporting lodge is nestled in the picturesque village of Tongue in the North Highlands. With breathtaking views of the Kyle of Tongue, Ben Loyal, Ben Hope, and the historic ruins of Castle Varrich, it’s a perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. Guests can indulge in luxurious rooms, unwind in a cosy bar and restaurant, and savor traditional Scottish breakfasts that start your day off right.
The rooms at the Tongue Hotel are each uniquely designed, showcasing lovely period features like wood paneling and antique furniture. Every room offers a decanter of sherry, delightful sweets, a TV, tea and coffee-making facilities, and Gilchrist and Soames toiletries to ensure a comfortable stay.
At the Tongue, breakfast is a treat! Enjoy a hearty menu featuring porridge, fresh fruit, cereals, and yoghurts, followed by a choice of cooked Scottish breakfasts made with locally sourced ingredients. Whether you're in the mood for a quick snack, a casual bar meal, or a more formal dining experience, you can find it here alongside an impressive selection of whisky and wine.
The surrounding area is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, perfect for hiking, angling, and climbing in the beautiful Loch Fleet and Knockan Crag National Nature Reserves. You can reach the stunning Ben Loyal, known as the Queen of Scottish mountains, right from Tongue Village, and the UK's most northerly Munro, Ben Hope, is just a 30-minute drive away. Plus, Tongue is the finishing point of The Sutherland Way, a long-distance walking trail. Don't miss out on the incredible sandy beaches along this northern coastline, including Coldbackie, Talmine, Achininver, and Torrisdale Bay.
Important information
Please note that for groups of 8 or more, an additional meal supplement of 30 GBP per person will be charged for dinner at the restaurant.
