Tongue Hotel featured in top ten best 'openings and revamps for 2023'
The Tongue Hotel, which is currently under renovation, has made it onto a top ten list compiled by a national newspaper.
The popular hotel is featured on the Guardian’s list of 10 best “openings and revamps for 2023”.
It is one of only two Scottish hotels on the list - the other being Bracken Hide, a new “wilderness hotel” within walking distance of Portree, Skye.
The paper states: “A 18th century sporting lodge turned hotel is reopening in March after an £800,000 refurbishment by its new owners.
“The Tongue Hotel in the north-west Highlands has 19 renovated bedrooms, with more modern touches added to the original paintings, wood panelling and antique furniture.
“All rooms have toiletries made on the Isle of Arran, homemade shortbread and a decanter of sherry.
“The Varrich restaurant and Brass Tap bar are also having a makeover, but will still have open fires, local beers and spirits, and Highland catches such as crab, scallops and sea trout.
“The hotel is on the scenic North Coast 500, near Varrich Castle and the Kyle of Tongue, and 40 miles from Thurso, for ferries to Orkney.”
Highland Coast Hotels, operators of the Tongue Hotel, have described its inclusion on the list as “exciting”.
