    Dornoch has a wide range of things to interest travellers, history including the cathedral, great golf course, several antique shops and a couple of good boutiques. Also great beach and some fantastic wild scenery to explore.

    Dornoch is such a wonderful town.

    Dornoch is such a wonderful town. I was amazed by the architecture from various periods but the Georgian and Edwardian stood out and looked stunning in red sandstone! The castle hotel bar is a must see, also the cathedral where Madonna got married to Guy Ritchie and also Elon Musk got married there too! The beech walks and also the Golf course, rated as the number 1 golf course in Scotland (I spoke to golfers at this festival who gave me their honest opinions) with a links style supposedly better than St Andrews! Although I was there for the local whisky festival, the people were so pleasant and made you feel so welcome and the hotel/ pubs were outstanding with the accompanying food menu's were superb.

    Pretty town with a lovely long sandy beach.

    Pretty town with a lovely long sandy beach. The Museum and Heritage Trail are very interesting and well worth the time. The cathedral is worth a visit and there are some interesting shops to explore. And we noticed an electric car charging point! We only stayed one night but it would have been better to have stayed for two as we didn't have enough time to visit all the attractions.

    A lovely well equiped cottage set in an idillic location with superb views towards the Dornoch Firth. A few miles from Dornoch so own transport essential as over 2 miles from a bus route. If you are looking for an away from it all retreat, look no further.

    Very enjoyable, staying in a castle felt special and exclusive and staff were friendly and professional. The food was amazing and also special. Dornoch itself has lovely shops and the Castle Hotel is right in the centre with its own parking.

    Dornoch is a lovely small town/large village with a number of interesting buildings, an ancient Cathedral, a magnificent beach, an interesting Museum, a range of shops, hotels, pubs and restaurants. It is also close to Golspie and the nearby Dunrobin Castle. I am not a golfer but for golfers it is a paradise. Unfortunately, on this occasion time pressures precluded a longer stay but it is a destination which I know quite well and would have no hesitation in recommending a visit to visitors to the area.

    The location is very good, in a quiet street across from a church and at the end of the Main Street which has all the bars and restaurants etc within a 15 min walk. Breakfast was freshly made and excellent. There are only two rooms so its very peaceful and the host was so friendly. Parking is nearby in the church car park and free. We were there for a golf break and Royal Dornoch is a 15 min walk away , with Golspie , Tain and Brora all within a short drive. All should be played if you're a golf fan.

    Dee and Nigel were very warm, welcoming, and helpful. The rooms were very comfortable and modern. Breakfast was delicious and customer service exceptional.  We would definitely stay there again, and recommend to our friends. The outdoor country atmosphere was quiet and peaceful. So nice to have a gathering room and breakfast area where our three couples could gather together in the evening and mornings, to plan out the day and brag about our golf experience.

    Dee and Nigel are the perfect hosts. They were so friendly, helpful and attentive. The house was exceptionally clean and tidy. The room and bathroom were just as good. Plus the fact that we had a beautiful view over the Dornoch firth. The breakfast was definitely the best we had during our 10 days in Scotland. Fresh eggs from the hens. Everything was perfect. Dee and Nigel definitely desererve the awards they have received. Lovely dogs too!

    We were gifted our stay by our family gif my husbands 70th birthday and could not fault it. The room was clean and well laid out, beds were comfortable and the food was very tasty. Staff were amazing and the owner even took us to one of the local distilleries due to a limited taxi service in the area; this was again a present for my husbands birthday. we would definitely recommend this gem of a hotel

    We had a lovely suite. The bed was very comfortable. The shower was excellent. Bathroom very clean. Lots of seating areas in the foyer and bar area. The food was delicious, good choice of wines and spirits. Some lovely cocktails I'd never had anywhere else. It was really wild weather but we were cosy inside. Enjoyed watching the wild waves and the hardy golfers attempting a round.

    The cabin was extremely clean, nicely decorated and spacious. The bed was really comfortable and the bedding was clean and high quality. It's very close to Dornoch for all the amenities that you could possibly need, but there is also a garage and restaurant directly across the road. Will definitely be back.

    We liked how close to the dornoch village the pod was, very clean, very cosy. The underfloor heating is such a good touch especially for when we had been a cold walk. Great little pod that was everything we were looking for, will definitely be back in the future. Thank you so much!

    The setting of the hotel was lovely. The meals were well done. Definitely take advantage of the on site restaurant as the options in the village are extremely limited. The rooms in the hotel were comfortable with the inevitable quirks you find in an older building.

    This is a fabulous hotel - we loved everything - the friendly professional staff, the beautiful interiors of the hotel and our rooms, the location right next to the Royal Dornoch Golf club and the sea. Breakfast was amazing too! Faultless.

    Lovely house, great location and well equipped. The kitchen is big and lots of amenities for cooking in. We appreciated the good communication with the host. Dornoch is lovely with lots of eateries and the beach is gorgeous.

    Convenient town center location that allows for all you need to sustain yourself before and after golf. Literally less than 400 yards from Royal Dornoch and all the food, drink, personal sundries, and sustenance you need.

    The fact that it was dog friendly was really helpful, as we wanted our dog to come along and experience the NC 500 with us. It was a cute BNB, could use some updating in the rooms but it was comfortable enough.
