Everything about The Anderson is great. First, it is nestled in the hauntingly beautiful and serene Black Isle in the Scottish Highlands. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the food and drink are fantastic and the proprietor is delightful, creative and brings new meaning to funny and charmingly quirky. Can?t recommend this place enough!

Proper home made food, full of flavour. Always something interesting on the menu. Best selection of beers!

Now this is what we call a pub. If you love a pub with character this one's a must. The staff were friendly, the food was fantastic and the atmosphere was excellent, but most importantly the beers were sublime offering a fantastic range of drinks all at a reasonable price. Well definitely be back!

Very quirky. Open fireplace in the en-suite beside the free-standing bath...The comfiest bed - a four-poster!Whole place in need of redecorating but seemed clean enough.Every surface covered in pictures, knick-knacks, interesting oddments.Menu with heavy American influence (the owner is from Pennsylvania) which was fun to sample, and staff were excellent.Renowned for great selection of real ales and whiskies which didn't disappoint.Very dog-friendly which was a big plus for us.A little bit pricey for the standard and quality of decor, we thought.

Great place to eat. Simple menu with some interesting twists. Extensive whisky menu with a lot of unusual choices. Staff were very efficient but also made you feel very welcome.

Bijzondere ervaring. Als je er aankomt denk je, "waar ben ik nu terecht gekomen???" Koffer in de auto gelaten, eerst maar eens binnen kijken. Laat je hoge eisen los en waardeer de oudbolligheid. Vond het een leuke ervaring. En super aardige eigenaars die je graag helpen met een leuke wiskey experience en adres om bij distilleerderij te gaan kijken.

Based on the positive reviews, we went for dinner with the kids. Our experience was less positive regarding the food. My husband had a mix grill and the vegetables were not tasty and not much. The kids had a pizza that was burnt. The service was very friendly but the food was really not good and tasty. For us it was a disappointment of Scotland's last night!

Lovely atmosphere and excellent meal despite the comments from the locals. Friendly knowledgeable staff with an excellent selection of beers, both local and further afield. If you're a whisky fan this place has everything. Would definitely recommend ?

Do you like food? Do you like food with so much flavour that you'll hear Angela sing and make you want to cry?We've been visiting Fortrose for a few years now and somehow missed this by.If you want a meal that you'll talk about to your friends and think about how you could make the 350 mile round trip just for a meal this is the place.You won't be disappointed.

Excellent food and the staff are all friendly. Quirky Hotel but is very nice. Very dog-friendly even breakfast for the dog and a soft mat to lie on beside our table. Going back this September 2023, and very much looking forward to it.

Believe the hype! This is a great pub: idiosyncratic, knowledgeable staff and a wonderful choice of beers (including a fab Straffe Hendrik Quadrupel). The food was great and I highly recommend the pork ribs: proper grub! If in Fortrose it's a must visit.

The owner, Jim, was fantastic. This is an off beat, quirky place and we loved it. The food was outstanding, beverage selection was also very good.Food & drinks: More whiskey that you can count, lots of belgian beers on as well.

We loved this place. The food was really great but the best thing was the staff. They were absolutely brilliant with our 2 dogs. They fave them rugs to lie on and brought them water. They remembered their names when we went back the next evening (because we loved it so much). Special thanks to Isatou and Hugo who served us and were brilliant. Fortrose was a great place to stay. Beautiful and a short walk to look for dolphins at Chanonry Point. Highly recommend The Anderson if you are visiting.
