I had a wonderful stay here. Peter was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and local history. It could very well be the hottest shower I’ve had in Scotland. I loved it. Thank you for letting me stay in your historic building. I would stay again!!

Peter and Gib, owners of the hotel, are the most kind, friendly and family like hosts you could wish for. My girlfriend and I had the most amazing time in Tomich travelling around. Having these people and hotel as a “home”point was more than terrific!

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.

Passed the tomich hotel looking for a coffee break on our way to plodda falls. A sweet young lady with a baby invited us in and showed us seating area. The coffee was great and so where the scones and cake. The interior may be outdated but the ambiance was superb, service 10/10 Would really recommend

We stopped for a late lunch and they were very kind to open up the kitchen. We tried the vegan burger and fries which were good, the ham and cheese which was piled with sliced cheese, and the chicken masala which was very tasty! We ate outdoors on a sunny day and much enjoyed our visit.

What a beautiful place and valley! Like the other buildings in this village, the hotel in Tommich is beautiful, neat and tidy, and fits perfectly into the secluded, melancholic atmosphere of the valley as a whole. With the right kind of bad weather, it looks like something out of a film. We didn't stay overnight, but the restaurant was excellent and the staff were very friendly. We'll definitely stay here overnight sometime.
