"only when you walk through the door do you understand the feeling of comfort and hospitality"
The Sutherland landscape has a wilderness that won't prepare you for the delightful Tongue Hotel. The hotel sits just off the road on a steeply sloping bank which masks the size of the building, and only when you walk through the door do you understand the feeling of comfort and hospitality.
The Tongue Hotel was built as a hunting lodge in the late 1800's by the Duke of Sutherland and retains many of its original features and furniture. The Hotel has 16 bedrooms, all unique, some with beautifully tiled fire places, big easy chairs and brass bedsteads. The cocktail bar and conservatory style lounge are comfortable and charming. A range of whiskies and Scottish ales are always available. The dining room, spacious and elegant, serves traditional breakfast and full dinner. There is local produce available, Loch Erribol king prawns and Kyle of Tongue Oysters are caught nearby, and we provide a varied menu complemented by an extensive wine list. Walkers welcome. Other awards include the Green Tourism Bronze Award.
