The situation was perfect, the staff were very courteous and helpful and we had a most enjoyable and relaxing stay. The bed almost spoiled our stay - it was very soft and extremely "wobbly" - when one turned over, the other one was shaken! Consequently the nights were not restful.

The staff were polite and friendly, most of the character of the castle was still intact. It was clean with some very nice touches added, beyond expectation for the cost of the stay. It made a very nice central point of origin for local points of interest. A very enjoyable mini break. Breakfast was not as good as was expected, the full Scottish was identical to a full English. Was expecting a few differences.

It is obviously old, but has been updated to be luxuriously comfortable. It has a superb setting, knowledgable and friendly staff, and memorably excellent cuisine. It is, if not unique, then in a small and exclusive club: high standards in a small and rural location. I have no adverse comments....except that it is so far away from where I now live.

Bar/reception area lovely with the large open fire. Staff very freindly and all brittish. Room comfortable. Getting a free upgrade was fantastic! Decor was a little tired. Food choice was not large and quality did not match cost. It all threatened to be good at first glance but failed to deliver.

Excellent location. Bed was very comfortable and bathroom clean. The garden area is lovely in good weather, I only wished we had more time to spend in the hotel. The room was rather hot as it faced the sun - perhaps a fan would have helped (I don't imagine that is a problem for more than a few weeks in the year!). No fridge. The carpet in the hallway leading to the room was badly stained. Some people may be put off with the Reception area being the in the public bar - if you have a confidential request to make of staff or if you have children perhaps this is not the ideal place for Reception.

The hotel was only alright, we paid £175.00 per night for 5 nights bed and breakfast, yet there were far better deals offered which we enquired about but the hotel management decided to charge us full rate, dissappointing. The rooms were dated and not very well cleaned. All in all unfortunetely just alright, not worth the money.

Der var ABSOLUT ikke noget bedste ved hotellet -- det var ALT for dyrt i forhold til komforten..Vi havde booket for to nætter, men rejste efter een nat... Restauranten, var tom, men maden var god og well presented, men dyrt i forhold til andre steder...to retter plus en argentinian vin ...85£ (det samme som værelse prisen....) alt i alt en skuffelse.At At det hlave af toilet aftryks knappen var borte..(lille skyl) At toppen kom af den kolde hane når man skulle have vandet. At lyden når man kom ind i badeværelset plus når man trak i toiletten - var ENORM... At lyset ¨ved sengen, var så dårlig at man ikke kunne ¨læse.. At dette kostede 85£ per nat...

Nulla ..... Sono rimasto profondamente deluso nel constatare che su internet le foto pubblicate sono "esageratamente" forvianti rispetto alla realtà . Non si può attribuire ad un hotel che non ha < ascensore > , le tre stelle che vengono pubblicizzate ..... per andare in camera esiste solo una scala per altro molto angusta.

La gentillesse du personnel, la qualité de la nourriture, la variété des whiskies sont des éléments favorables L’exiguïté des rangements qui ne permettent pas de faire sécher les vêtements (il arrive qu'il pleuve en Ecosse) , la petite taille de la chambre qui rend la mobilité pénible sont des points qui gâchent la qualité du séjour

Das Persoanl im Hotel war super freundlich, sowohl Bar als auch Rezeption und Empfang. Das Essen im Hotelrestaurant hat eine Auszeichnung. Für uns war etwas befremdlich, dass diese Burg inmitten des Stadtkerns von Dornoch ist, nicht etwa außerhalb in einem Park. Das Hotel ist von der Bar her wunderbar eingerichtet. Die Zimmer sind allerdings sehr gewöhnlich, in den Zimmern würde man nicht vermuten, dass man sich in einer alten Burg / einem alten Schloss befindet. Die Zimmer sind wie in jedem B&B. Frühstücksraum ist das Restaurant, was ein schöner Wintergarten ist. Alles in allem würde man zu diesem Preis etwas mehr erwarten, speziell von den Zimmern, deren Einrichtung und der Sauberkeit in den Zimmern.
