We stayed three nights at the Tomich Hotel to be close to the hiking in Glenn Affric and it was the perfect location to base camp out of for our stay. …

Despite being a Victorian lodge in a model conservation village located in a beautiful Highlands, the hotel is rather shabby, desperately needing refurbishing. Entrance and reception is crammed and not inviting. …

Not lot of choice for vegetarians. Had to have a starter doubled up as a main. 2 "slabs" of goats cheese with dots of mint sauce and bread and butter. Our friends said there's was very mediocre. Tired surroundings.

We visited for an evening meal in this amazing location. Whilst the food was beautiful, the drinks selection was very limited - none of the pumps in use and an empty fridge behind the bar. It was quite expensive.

If you love nature, this is your base for incredible hikes and spectacular scenes, from the nearby Plodda falls (and the groves of towering Douglas Fir, Grand Fir and Redwoods) to Glen Affric with its stunning loch and ancient Caledonian pinewoods within the Nature Preserve. The hotel itself is comfortable, somewhat modest, and very close to these natural wonders. The staff is friendly, the food remarkably good, and the rooms are comfortable.

We were put into the Annex and we would not recommend. If you want to book make sure your room will be in the hotel and don't bother if it's in the annex.||The room is extremely smelly with a strange disinfectant smell. …

I always thought Scottish hospitality was a thing, but not here. Wouldn’t even sell a cup of tea to someone who had cycled more than 400 miles with another hundred left to go. Watch out if you’re cycling or hiking as there isn’t a warm welcome to non residents.

Went for a beer with my dogs in their yard after our hike at glen affric. Awesome beer, great service and the owner gave me a beautiful route to take home that my map didn’t suggest, I guess it’s the locals route.

Absolute joke of a place ridiculous food menu, quality of food disgusting sausages tasted like soap, chips were the worst chips ever tasted, prices out of this world for what you get, aged place owner clearly uses the location and accessibility to other places as an advantage. Making money of off the drinks only.and kitchen open for two hours in the evening… in our opinion they shouldn’t cook..! Avoid and look at different locations as food locations round there is none.
