Great hotel in a lovely place.
A very special hotel with lots of character, comfort and history in a beautiful location. Our room had recently been renovated to a high standard. We would strongly recommend the restaurant for dinner and breakfast. Overall this hotel was a very good find and one to which we'll be returning.

Decent hotel. Rooms could use some minor repairs. This quality of the rooms reflect a 2-3 star hotel.

Dornoch Castle
The setting and castle itself was beautiful. With that said we were there with other family who had a different room and both rooms whilst showering the water stopped for sometime. Addressed this with reception to be told that there was nothing wrong with the water pressure.....doesnt help when you are washing your hair and have no water to rinse with. Still awaiting apology or acknowledgement of this, not what you expect when you £240 for the night. Food... Can not fault the breakfast it was lovely but due to very limit choice for dinner went elsewhere Drinks.... Only IPA beer was offered, very limited choice again. Would I recommend or stay there again, sorry but I would stay elsewhere. TRY THE HILTON NEXT TO THE GOLF CLUB
