KiwIs on Tour We stayed at The Bothy in Tongue, Scotland during our journeys throughout the UK. The Bothy is well run, clean, tidy and spacious and the breakfast was great. The hosts are very nice and accommodating people. Would recommend..

Excellent accommodation and superb breakfast (acxcompanied by log fire) in a beautiful location and I was made very welcome by Silke and her family in their lovely, modern home. In addition to the beautifully furnished accommodation, additional touches like wi-fi, DVDs and helpful local advice were also appreciated, as was the drying space for my kit after a very wet...

Our room was simple but with a superb view on the Kyle of Tounge and Castle Varrich. Proprietor Silke is very friendly and courteous. She also serves the best black pudding for breakfast. There is a nice restaurant around the corner (Ben Loyal Hotel) where one can have a good fish dish with a great view.

An excellent B&B in a superb location - highly recommended. Silke and Scott are wonderful hosts, and nothing is too much trouble. You can even customise your individual breakfast requirements, and enjoy it next to a log fire the following morning. Tongue and its immediate environs are very attractive, and it's a good base for further exploring along the north... More

If you are travelling through the highlands in winter I cannot think of a better place to stay. Comfortable rooms and amenitiesand generous hosts who welcomed me into their homes for Christmas, with beautiful views of the Ben and surrounds and a short walk up to Varrich Castle. Stayed here December 2010.

This was a real find of a place with great standards in terms of bedrooms, food and warmth. We were travelling across the north of Scotland and were delighted that this family were every bit as welcoming and friendly as others we had met on our trip. The house was lovely and clean, well decorated and equipped (my other half... More

Great place, nice and generous hosts, beautiful surroundings, good food, comfortable rooms... I need to stop with praising, as the review may seem too good to believe. But I would recommend anybody to go and check for themselves :))
