We stayed at the Carnegie Hotel, on 2 separate occasions, and for 2 nights each time. Staying in a different room each time, both rooms were clean, tidy and the bed comfortable. Both shower rooms were good.Heather contacted us well in advance each time, with information on room and dining menu. You have to order your meals by 3 o'clock, from a very good selection. The food was excellent. You can order breakfast in the evening.Bar has a good selection of wines, beers & spirits.The hotel is located just off the A9 and on the Edge of Tain, which is within walking distanceWe had a lovely stay and recommend this hotel to all. Staff we all very helpful.

Excellent food, very comfy bed and ultra clean room. Staff superb - nothing was too much trouble. Great parking area. Tain is interesting wee town and sadly we were too early for mid September book festival which had a full, interesting programme. Need to time our next visit better!
